It accepts socket contacts via crimp termination and free-hangs in-line — no panel cutout or board mounting required. Keyed housing prevents mis-mating with the wrong receptacle, and the IP67 dust-tight and waterproof rating means this connector holds up in outdoor, washdown, or engine-compartment environments where moisture and debris are a concern. The 20 A per-circuit rating and 400 V voltage rating position it for power distribution in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and heavy-vehicle harnesses.
The 400 V rating gives enough creepage for 480 VAC line-to-line applications inside an enclosure. IP67 sealing is the real differentiator here: mated with the matching receptacle and properly seated cable seals, this housing survives pressure washing and temporary submersion. The glass-filled PBT housing (UL94 V-0 rated by material class) holds up to vibration and thermal cycling in industrial cabinets.
The crimp termination accepts the series-specific socket terminal; the housing is keyed so only the correctly oriented receptacle will engage. The IP67 seal is only effective when the connector is fully mated and the cable glands or rear seals are properly installed.
