This sensor connector socket from Belden Lumberg Automation has been designed for cable mounting in large electrical systems. With safety in mind, this female unit features three contacts and a threaded mating type that offers extra security. It's resistant to shock and vibration, making it ideal for use in automation circuitry where safety and additional electrical safeguarding is needed. A straight body orientation, cable mounting and a screw termination method make for easy assembly and quick installation.

• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for use in challenging environments
• Gold-over-nickel contact plating to reduce corrosion and increase wear resistance
• High voltage rating of 63V

• Industrial automation systems
• Electrical process control
• Industrial robotics systems

Equipment with an IP67 (ingress protection) rating has been designed to be protected from solid material damage, such as from dust and sand. Connectors and sockets with this certification can also be submerged in water for short periods of time without performance being adversely affected. This rating is vital for machinery operating in harsh industrial and outdoor environments.
