“Outdoor wireless and industrial equipment is getting smaller while needing to deliver more functionality, and connectors on that equipment must be smaller and more versatile,” said Stefan Borgas, TE manager of product management. “The connector sealing system delivers the small size, ease of installation, and ruggedness necessary for today’s wireless and industrial equipment designs.”
The connectors are said to be 23% smaller than TE’s current FullAXS products and can be placed almost anywhere on the box due to their flexible sealing system. The connector sealing delivers a watertight seal up to IP67 and IP65 levels and uses UV material to meet F1 rating UL 94-V0. The sealing withstands all applicable lightning strike requirements, making them suitable for many harsh outdoor environments for applications including wireless and microwave equipment, industrial, robotic, aerospace and defence.
