IP68/IP69K plastic circular connectors
The Trim Trio range of connectors from Souriau includes the UTS IP68/69K-rated plastic circular connector. Low-cost and extreme-environmental sealing with a rapid locking system, these connectors are easy to connect in difficult places because of their ergonomic thermoplastic design. The latest hi-seal connector gives an extreme sealing performance in unmated conditions, and the RJ45 edition – intended for high-speed Ethernet connection – does likewise in severe environments.
The series also include the UTP, UTG, UTO and UTV connectors – all offer high performance and versatility in any industrial application. The contacts can be used in any combination with any connector from the Trim Trio range and are available in machined, stamped and formed, coax and fibre-optic styles.
