Connectivity portfolio extended

Fully waterproof and dustproof, the 572 (5.8mm pitch) and 560 (2.5mm pitch) series connectors are available in wire-to wire and wire-to-board options. They extend EDAC’s popular range of E-Seal IP67-rated connectors to include D-Sub, USB, HDMI, wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connectors, and support low-level signal and power requirements up to 300V at 10A with an operating temperature range of between –40º and +105ºC.

The connectors offer absolute protection against dirt and dust and the company’s fast integral seal technology provides waterproof operation with immersion in water up to a depth of 1m for up to 30 minutes, with the double latch solution providing a tactile double click when fully mated. They are highly resilient to vibration and available in a choice of four colour-coded sizes to accommodate wire diameters from 1.7 to 3.1mm.

Electrical integrity is ensured by internal polarisation, which eliminates the possibility of mis-mating the connectors; plus wire termination is made with a true crimp and poke home contact solution. The wire seals are pre-assembled onto each wire within the housing when crimping the contacts to the cable with no external sealing required.

The 560 series connectors are provided with a waterproof cap to cover holes of a wire seal to seal any unused contact positions. The devices are available in 2, 3 or 5 contact positions and feature a 2.5mm pin pitch and are current rated to a maximum of 3A, 250V AC. The 572 series offers 1, 2 or 3 contact positions with a 5.8mm pitch and a maximum current rating of 10A at 300V AC.
