Feature → Fire & Smoke certification provides UL94 V0 rating and RoHS/REACH compliance, reducing regulatory risk and warranty concerns. The result is faster approvals during commissioning and safer panel wiring in harsh environments. Ideal for control cabinets in automotive, packaging, and process industries where strict flame retardance is non-negotiable.\n\nFeature → Lightweight aluminium shell with Black Anodized finish and a layout of 20 offers corrosion resistance and a compact footprint. Business impact is easier handling, better thermal management, and space savings in densely populated enclosures. Application includes modular wiring harnesses and small footprint panels where weight matters.\n\nFeature → Straight backshell and designation For Flexible Conduit streamline routing and sealing. This reduces installation time and improves seal integrity, translating to lower labor costs and fewer leak paths in wet or dusty environments. Use in facilities with frequent conduit repositioning or rework is common.\n\nFeature → Pin (Male) contact and 20‑position layout ensure reliable mating and polarization. The result is fewer mis-mates, improved signal integrity, and dependable performance in high-vibration machinery bays. Applies to equipment racks, drive panels, and distributed I/O systems.\n\nFeature → Operating temperature range -40 to 100 °C and 500 hour salt spray provide robustness in extreme environments. This drives longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs for outdoor or wash-down areas. Suitable for harsh production floors, chemical plants, and outdoor installations.\n\nFeature → Compact dimensions with 87.1 mm depth, 33 x 33 mm cross-section, and 55 g weight enable space-efficient, plug-and-play installations. Benefits include easier harness management, reduced weight on moving parts, and improved overall reliability in compact control enclosures.
