Cable connector with protective IP67 cap IP67 even when unmated

binder has added protective caps for the cable connectors to its NCC (Not Connected Closed) 670 and 770-series portfolio. Their task is to stop the ingress of particles and humidity when the interface is disconnected. The protective caps have holding straps that can be easily attached to the cable connectors.

The series connectors can be used in handheld devices, for example. If an application needs the cable connector to be detached from the device without a protective cap, it is exposed to environmental influences at the place of use. The cap ensures environmental protection according to IP67 – against dust and temporary immersion – even when the connector is unmated.

With the series, the company offers compact and highly versatile five-pin and eight-pin connectors featuring bayonet locking. They are created for demanding environmental conditions requiring the interface to be protected according to IP67. Typical applications can be found in test equipment, metrology and lighting, as well as in signage and other devices that need to be washable.

A special design feature characterises the series: Spring-loaded plastic covers protect the female panel mount parts and ensure the contacts are safely enclosed in the housing. Therefore, even when unmated, the panel mount parts are protected against contact, dust, and splash water from all sides (670 series: IP54) or, in addition, against temporary immersion in water (770 series: IP67). Due to the protective caps, the male cable connectors achieve IP67 when unmated.

Fields of application include electronic device technology, sensor technology, and metrology and instrumentation.
