This industrial plug socket makes a safe, watertight electrical connection for equipment in tough conditions. The SP series threaded circular connector has an IP68 seal. This protects against dust and water. It comes in different sizes and pin counts to fit your wiring needs. Features and Benefits
- IP68 water resistance - Keeps the connection dry and working, even when fully underwater.
- Threaded locking system - Forms a tight, shake-proof seal. This stops accidental disconnects in active places.
- Panel mount design - Lets you put a fixed, steady connection point right onto a box, chassis, or control panel.
- Various sizes (SP13 to SP21) - The model number shows the panel cutout diameter in millimeters. This helps you pick the right fit. Applications
- Outdoor lighting setups, connecting lights and power supplies that get rain and weather.
- Marine electronics, giving a steady, rust-resistant connection for navigation and communication gear.
- Industrial machines, guarding sensor and control wiring from dust, water jets, and coolant spray.

A: The IP68 rating means the connectors are completely sealed against dust. They are also waterproof enough to be submerged in water deeper than 1 meter for extended periods without failing.. Q: I need a specific industrial plug socket for an outdoor project. Are these suitable for that? A: Yes, their dustproof and waterproof construction makes them a solid choice for outdoor or marine applications. They're frequently used for things like external lighting, communications gear, and industrial sensors.. Q: What are the different sizes and pin configurations available? A: We offer these in several shell sizes: SP13, SP16, SP17, SP20, and SP21. Within those sizes, you can get versions with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 pins to match your specific wiring needs.. Q: What happens if I receive a connector that's defective? A: We check our stock, but mistakes can happen. If you get a faulty connector, just send us a quick photo of the issue, and we'll arrange for a replacement or a refund for you.. Q: Is there a price advantage to buying the larger 100-set packs? A: Definitely. The price per set is significantly lower when you buy in bulk packs of 10 or 100. It's a much more economical option for large-scale projects or for stocking your workshop..
