Connector with protective cap assures IP67 even when unmated
binder is adding protective caps for the cable connectors to its NCC (Not Connected Closed) 670- and 770-series portfolio. Their task is to prevent the ingress of particles and humidity when the interface is disconnected. The protective caps are equipped with holding straps that can be easily attached to the cable connectors.
If an application requires the cable connector to be detached from the device, without a protective cap, it is exposed to the 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 670 and 770 series, binder offers compact and highly versatile 5-pin and 8-pin connectors featuring bayonet locking. They are designed for demanding environmental conditions that require 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.
The NCC series are characterised by a special design feature: spring-loaded plastic covers protect the female panel mount parts and ensure the contacts are safely enclosed in the housing. Thus, 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). Now, due to the protective caps, also the male cable connectors achieve IP67 when unmated.
