IP67 when connected

Protect your connectors from environmental hazards with this Brad from Molex dust cap. It's made of Delrin polyoxymethylene material (POM). This gives it metal-like stiffness and high resistance to wear, so you can count on it to withstand repeated use. A dust cap like this one is frequently used in industrial areas to maintain sealing integrity when a connector isn't mated with the receptacle.

• IP65 (ingress protection) rating indicates it's protected against dust and low-pressure water jets
• Dust cap surface is easy to clean
• Knurled grip surface ensures it's easy to screw on and off either bare-handed or with gloves

• Process and packaging equipment
• Robotics and automation
• Construction and installation sites

No, it can't. However, Brad from Molex offers a dust cap with a lanyard (67-0300) which is built to the same specification and has an IP67 (ingress protection) rating. This means it's dust-tight and able to withstand 30 minutes immersion in 1m of water.
