Sealed 3-Position Power Receptacle Housing for Panel-Mount Harness Interconnects
The IP67 rating means the mated assembly is dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion, suiting it for outdoor equipment, agricultural machinery, and underhood automotive harness junctions where moisture ingress would otherwise corrode the circuit. Rated at 20 A per circuit with a 400 V voltage ceiling, this housing supports power-level distribution — think battery feeds, motor drives, or lighting circuits — not signal-level duty. The keyed housing prevents cross-mating with other connectors in the same harness bundle, a practical safeguard when multiple Nector M receptacles share a panel. The panel-mount feature lets you bolt the receptacle to an enclosure wall, creating a fixed mating point for the cable-side plug.
20 A per Circuit — Sizing for Power Distribution, Not Signal
The 20 A per-circuit rating at 400 V places this housing in the power interconnect class. Each contact in the mated pair must carry that current without exceeding the temperature rise limits of the PBT housing — the glass fill helps pull heat away from the contact beam. The 400 V rating gives enough creepage margin for the 3.00 mm-ish contact spacing typical of this power class, though the exact pitch is not listed here. For a 3-circuit harness carrying 20 A per leg, the total bundle current is 60 A; the housing's single-row layout keeps the wire bundle compact at the panel exit.
IP67 Sealing and Panel-Mount Installation
The IP67 rating is achieved when the receptacle housing is mated with the corresponding Nector M plug and the panel gasket is compressed against the mounting surface. The seal protects the contacts from dust, mud, and temporary submersion to 1 metre for 30 minutes. The panel-mount feature typically uses a locking nut or clip that clamps the housing to a cut-out in the enclosure wall — the keying feature ensures the plug can only be inserted in one orientation, which matters when the connector is behind a panel where you cannot see the cavity alignment.
Crimp Termination and Contact Compatibility
The 3-position layout is a single-row configuration; the keying feature prevents inserting the plug into the wrong row position or a different Nector M variant on the same panel. The black PBT housing provides a visual identifier against other colours in the series.
