Waterproof Magnetic Connector Meets IP67 Standard, Delivers 99.9% Conductivity, Ensures Reliable Operation in Extreme Industrial Environments
Introduction: Importance of Waterproof Magnetic Connector in Industrial Applications
As a key connecting component of modern industrial equipment, the waterproof magnetic connector is responsible for the core duties of electrical signal and power transmission. With the rapid popularization of Industry 4.0, intelligent manufacturing, and outdoor equipment, the protective performance of connectors has been unprecedentedly improved and valued. Connectors not only need to meet high-precision electrical performance, but also need to ensure stable operation of the system in harsh environments such as dust, moisture, salt spray, and high and low temperatures.
The dust and waterproof standards defined by the IP67 rating provide a strict reference for connector design, which can withstand short-term immersion and completely prevent dust from entering. APC0504-31853 and APC0504-31854 are 4-pin waterproof magnetic connectors designed for this standard. Intended to provide secure and reliable connectivity solutions for high-end industrial automation, medical equipment, outdoor intelligent terminals, and other fields.
According to the IEC 60529 standard, the IP67 rating test includes soaking in water at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes without water entering the interior. Ensure that the performance of the connector does not degrade in extremely humid environments.
