Waterproof hybrid connector features one touch lever lock design for demanding environments

Hirose has extended its rugged, space-saving hybrid connector products to include an IP67-rated version when mated. Designed for precision motors, industrial automation and compact equipment, the waterproof MT50WA Series connector combines power, signal and brake connections into one compact solution, saving space and simplifying assembly.

An ultra-reliable one-touch lever lock mechanism provides easy operation while improving connection stability. The secure push-to-lock system is designed to resist vibration and prevent waterproofing failures in harsh environments.

The connector is typically used in servo and stepping motor systems in industrial and building automation and office equipment like printers, 3D printers, and copiers. The hybrid connector is certified to meet UL, CSA, and TÜV safety standards for industrial use.

"The MT50WA Series not only streamlines assembly with its one-touch lever lock but also delivers exceptional stability and durability in demanding applications," said Pete Lais, assistant vice president of Product Management for Hirose Electric Americas. "By combining power and signal capabilities in a single connector design, the MT50WA Series offers OEMs a space-saving solution that doesn't compromise on performance or reliability."
