Heavy Duty Waterproof Electrical Connectors
Electrical connectors are essential components that facilitate power transmission, signal communication, and control functions in industrial equipment. They are also designed to withstand challenging environmental conditions.
Waterproof connectors ensure a tight seal against contaminants that can disrupt signals and damage equipment. In addition, they can withstand high-pressure water flow and washdown applications.
Robust construction
The rugged construction of heavy duty waterproof electrical connectors provides a high degree of protection for equipment connection systems. They heavy duty waterproof electrical connectors are designed to resist abrasion, impact, and corrosion from harsh industrial environments. These industrial plugs and connectors are able to endure the impact of loaded forklift trucks and intense jet streams of water, ensuring a secure and safe connection.
These industrial-grade waterproof electrical connectors are made from die-cast metal and reinforced engineering thermoplastic insulators, making them mechanically rugged and stable. They are also rated IP68 and IP69K when mated, preventing ingress of dust and water. They are ideal for marine electronics, datacom/telecom infrastructure, building automation and control systems, off-road vehicles, mining and instrumentation equipment, power and energy installations, and stage lighting and sound equipment.

Moreover, Duraline’s electrical connectors and receptacles are also renowned for their corrosion-resistant and weatherproof properties, essential in maritime applications. They can withstand the challenging marine environment, including high saltwater levels and extreme temperatures. They are also able to withstand rough seas, ensuring that all naval equipment is safe and reliable for use on sea-worthy vessels.
High-quality materials
The waterproof electrical connectors in our inventory offer rugged protection against environmental influences and harsh conditions. They are engineered with high-quality materials that can withstand repeated use and exposure to wet environments. They also have a hermetic seal that prevents water and other contaminants from entering the interface area where male and female contacts mate.
These robust seals ensure that the electrical connections are secure, minimizing intermittent signals and other problems that can result from loose or defective connectors. The seals are molded in a polymer such as Viton (FKM), which is a fluoropolymer that offers excellent chemical resistance and low permeation. In addition, the inner contact block of the receptacle is also sealed in the factory to ensure hermetic integrity when mated.
The waterproof connectors in our selection are ideal for a wide range of industrial applications, including shipbuilding, manufacturing, OEM, oil and gas, construction, and entertainment. They can also be used in off-road vehicles, agriculture, mining equipment, and other demanding settings. Our waterproof electrical connectors feature a variety of shell sizes, contact insert layouts, and wire gauges to accommodate a range of requirements. In addition, they can be used with a variety of cable types, including multi-conductor cables with up to 6 conductors and a high current rating.
IP67/IP68 waterproof rating
The IP67/IP68 waterproof rating of heavy duty electrical connectors provides an extra level of protection from environmental elements. This is especially important for applications in which the connector may come into contact with water, such as in the form of humidity, rain and snow or pressurized water used for cleaning.
This rating is determined by testing the product to determine how much water or dust it can withstand. However, the definition of the IP code can vary depending on the manufacturer. For example, a device rated IP67 is water-resistant and can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for short periods of time. A higher-rated waterproof device, on the other hand, can be submerged in deeper water for extended periods of time.
In addition to providing environmental sealing, IP 67/IP68 waterproof connectors also protect the interface where male and female contacts are mated together. This seal helps prevent moisture and harmful particles from entering the area of the connection, which can reduce overall system reliability.
PEI-Genesis stocks a wide range of IP67/IP68 waterproof electrical connectors, including the LEMO K Series. These push-pull waterproof connectors offer space-saving, rugged, and durable wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connections for harsh-environment applications that are exposed to high humidity. They include a UL94 V-0 LCP housing, tin-plated copper alloy contacts and 1 pin electrical connector robust press-to-release spring latches that prevent accidental unmating. They can also be customized to fit your application’s unique requirements with thousands of different styles, configurations and functionalities available.
Exceptional performance
Waterproof connectors are built to withstand various environmental factors that can cause damage to components. These include dust, moisture, and corrosion. Waterproof connections help prevent these elements from interfering with electrical signals, extending the lifespan of equipment and minimizing maintenance costs. Moreover, waterproof connections are usually made from PVC plastic, which is less expensive than the metal coatings used in other types of electrical connectors.
Another benefit of waterproof connections is their ability to protect against shock hazards. This is particularly important in aerospace, automotive, and marine applications where the safety of crew members and passengers is at stake. These connectors are meticulously designed to maintain a tight seal, preventing moisture from infiltrating the electrical components. This eliminates the risk of electrical shocks and other potentially hazardous conditions.
Heavy duty waterproof electrical connectors are also engineered for easy installation and maintenance. Their circular design and intuitive locking mechanisms allow for quick mating and unmating, minimizing downtime and increasing productivity. Additionally, these connectors are resistant to corrosion, ensuring a long service life.
Whether you are working in the harsh marine environment, the freezing cold of an arctic exploration site, or the hot temperatures of an industrial factory, VELLEDQ’s waterproof connectors can provide the reliability and performance you need to complete your job. With the ability to withstand high levels of pressure, these connectors can prevent saltwater corrosion and ensure optimal functionality even in challenging conditions.
