Amphenol Tuchel Electronics now offers housings for heavy duty connectors, which fulfill IP requirements according to IP67. They have the same built-in dimensions as those on the standard housing market.

The new housings are available at distributor Rutronik now.

Standard housing for heavy duty connectors currently offer a degree of protection in accordance with IP65. Sometimes these connectors are also
used outdoors and in some cases IP65 is not enough. Examples of this can be found in areas such as wind turbines, cranes, switchgears and in rail mass transit. Currently in these cases, due to the lack of an alternative,
special costly solutions are in use where the technical qualities exceed
the customer requirements for these parts. Amphenol Tuchel now offers
housing which fulfils the density requirements in accordance with IP67.

Due to the design of the housing, the increased density requirement will be
managed. This is guaranteed by using a lip that ensures a proper fit of the
sealing on the housing. For a secure locking, the well known two lever
system is in use, where no special tools are required.

All product information stated in the current press release is based on the
franchise situation in Germany. Country specific variations may therefore
be possible.
