Product Advantage

Super IP68 Waterproof & Dustproof Performance

The connector achieves IP68 protection grade in the locked state, effectively preventing water and dust intrusion even in deep water or dusty industrial environments, fully meeting the high sealing requirements of outdoor and industrial field equipment.

Excellent Electromagnetic Shielding Performance

It has a professional shielding structure with 75dB shielding performance at 10MHz, which can effectively resist external electromagnetic interference, ensure stable transmission of industrial control signals, and avoid signal distortion caused by interference.

Diverse Pin Core Configurations & Specifications

Providing M8/M12 dual specifications and 3/4/5/8/12/17 pin flexible configurations, matching different wire gauges and rated currents, it can meet the diverse power and signal transmission needs of various industrial automation equipment.

Strong Environmental & Mechanical Adaptability

Working stably in -40℃~125℃ extreme temperature range and ≤95% humidity (60℃), it resists 15g vibration (10Hz~2000Hz) and passes 96hr salt spray corrosion test, adapting to various harsh industrial working conditions.

High-quality Material & Reliable Electrical Performance

Adopting gold-plated tin bronze contacts with maximum contact resistance ≤10mΩ and insulation resistance ≥100MΩ, nickel-plated brass housing enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring low-loss and long-term stable electrical transmission.

Flexible Structural Design & Easy Installation

With straight/elbow joint options, quick-plug/thread/quick-lock tightening methods and customizable wire length/color, the floating female head design compensates for installation errors, making on-site assembly more convenient and efficient.
