WPJ 2-Position Receptacle — Sealed, Latching, and Contacts Sold Separately
The JST 02R-WPJV-2-RMM(NN) is a 2-position receptacle from the WPJ series, designed for free-hanging (in-line) wire-to-wire or wire-to-board interconnects where a sealed, vibration-resistant connection is needed. The housing is moulded from glass-filled PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) in red, rated for -25°C to 85°C operation. A critical procurement note: contacts are not included with this housing — the female socket crimp terminals must be ordered separately to complete the assembly.
JIS C 0920 Grade Level 7 — What That Means for the Enclosure
The WPJ series carries a JIS C 0920 Grade Level 7 rating, which corresponds to IP67-level protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. When mated with the matching plug and the correct O-ring or gasket (if specified in the assembly), this receptacle is suited for outdoor equipment, automotive under-hood harnesses, or washdown environments in food processing or agricultural machinery. The latch lock ensures the seal is not broken by vibration — a common failure point in unlatched free-hanging connectors.
