Industrial use in harsh environments requires connector systems that meet special requirements. Whether in traffic control systems, photovoltaic systems, construction machinery, surveillance cameras or off-shore wind farms, modern industrial applications place high demands on the connectors used. IP67 D-SUB connectors are used where dust and moisture occur and could impair the function of systems that are not specially protected.
The abbreviation IP stands for International Protection. In English-speaking countries, the abbreviation is often also translated as Ingress Protection (protection against ingress).The first number that follows “IP” corresponds to the connector’s ability to prevent solid particle ingress, such as sand and dust, from entering the enclosure. The second number corresponds to its ability to protect the enclosure against liquid ingress. In the case of IP67, the six (6) means that the connectors prevent dust from entering the enclosure. The seven (7) indicates that the connector will prevent ingress when the enclosure is immersed in one meter of water for 30 minutes.
CONEC IP67 D-SUB connectors are available in five standardized housing sizes, three different housing designs (CONEC SlimCon, Solid Body, Standard housing) and in the variants IP67 D-SUB Standard, IP67 D-SUB High Density, IP67 D-SUB Filter, IP67 D-SUB Combination and IP67 D-SUB Hoods.
