When the job calls for cable connections in harsh environments, choose this mains inline connector from ABB. The assembly includes a plug and socket that mate tightly together inside a protective shell. This lets you link industrial leads while shielding them from common environmental hazards such as knocks and moisture. The unit's IP68 rating means that once mated, it resists all dust and withstands being submerged in up to 1.5m of water for up to 30 minutes. This connector works with cables between 5 and 9mm in diameter, so it's a versatile choice.

• Nitrile rubber seal protects the internal workings by locking moisture out
• Halogen-free construction means it won't release toxic gases in a fire
• Stable design of the cable entry points tackles retention issues and prevents twisting
• Positive keyways make it impossible to assemble the connector incorrectly
• Outer collar serves as a quick-release mechanism for speedy dismantling

• Heavy engineering works
• Robotics systems
• Food and beverage industries

As this product is made of rugged polycarbonate and glass-filled nylon, you can expect impressive resistance to impacts and abrasion for a long service life.
