FAQs
To install, verify the conduit preparation and sealing interface, align the 18-position layout with the socket (female) contacts, and engage the bayonet locking mechanism until it seats with a definitive click. Use appropriate grommets and strain relief for the straight backshell and ensure the backshell is properly mated to the enclosure to maintain the fire and smoke certification integrity.
Key specs include an aluminium shell with a black anodized finish, 18-position layout, socket (female) contact configuration, operating temperature from -40 °C to 100 °C, and a salt spray rating of 500 hours. Certifications include RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 for fire and smoke performance, supporting safe operation in harsh environments.
Yes. The connector is fire and smoke certified, RoHS and REACH compliant, with UL94 V0 flammability rating, an aluminium backshell, and a 500-hour salt spray resistance. These features make it appropriate for safety-critical automation, rail, and industrial enclosure applications where durability and regulatory compliance are essential.
The device meets RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 fire and smoke certifications, ensuring hazardous substance restrictions, regulatory conformity, and flame retardancy. This simplifies procurement for regulated industries and supports traceability in quality audits and safety inspections within automation and electrical systems.
The connector’s lightweight aluminium shell, robust environmental ratings, and 18-position layout reduce installation time and field rework. Compliance with RoHS/REACH and UL94 V0 minimizes regulatory risk, while corrosion resistance lowers maintenance costs, delivering faster time-to-value in control cabinets and harsh-environment installations.
