New HEC3 harsh environment connector series for extreme conditions

Power Dynamics is distributing its new HEC Series 3 line of harsh environment connectors through New Yorker Electronics. These connectors are IP67 while mated and are available with three, four, five or eight contacts. This dustproof and waterproof HEC3 series is designed for rugged indoor and outdoor applications, and feature easy-to-use and easy-to-assemble components. The series operates at up to 3A and 125V. They are crafted with durable polyamide and gold or silver-plated contacts, 24AWG (max). The series operates at up to 3A and 125V. They are crafted with durable polyamide and gold- or silver-plated contacts, 24AWG (max). The series has been designed to thrive in even the harshest conditions. These connectors are used on orbiting space satellites as well as in harsh commercial applications. Since connections cannot be refastened in space, the reliability threshold has to be the absolute maximum when connecting satellite modems. Closer to home, this same level of reliability is put to use in roadway lighting equipment, weather stations and construction equipment. Despite its rugged exterior, it possesses the sophistication for delicate use in blood analysers and for oil and gasoline testing, where high reliability is also critical.
