SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the challenge of sourcing IP-68 rated bulkhead connectors with a flange diameter under 15mm. The user, Seth, is specifically looking for 6-contact locking push-pull circular connectors that utilize crimp-termination on the cable end. While Hirose and Fischer offer suitable options, their pricing exceeds Seth's budget of $5. The conversation highlights the difficulty of finding affordable connectors that meet stringent specifications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of IP-68 ratings for environmental protection
  • Familiarity with circular connectors and their applications
  • Knowledge of crimp-termination techniques
  • Basic concepts of panel mount connector installation
NEXT STEPS

Hi,

I'm trying to put together an enclosure concept and running into trouble with connectors. I need to use a panel mount bulkhead with mating connector, and the best option within my limitations is to work with 6-contact locking push-pull circular connectors.

I need to keep the bulkhead flange under 15mm in diameter. They also need to be IP-68 rated and use crimp-termination on the cable end. Hirose and Fischer make some in the $5+ region which is getting out of my price range.

Just tossing the question out there in case someone has dealt with similar connectors. Thanks,

Seth

That price range seems reasonable. It's not easy to have an IP-68 rating on a product.
