This GX series industrial plug gives a secure, water-resistant connection for your panel wiring. It comes in GX12, GX16, and GX20 sizes. This round aviation connector is made for machinery where dust and water protection are important. Each set includes a male and female connector. Features and Benefits
- IP67 water resistance - A rubber o-ring seal makes sure the connection is fully protected from dust. It can also be under water up to 1 meter.
- Many sizes and pin counts - Pick the right size for your panel hole: GX12 (12mm), GX16 (16mm), or GX20 (20mm). You can get 2 to 15 pins.
- Threaded metal coupling - The metal housing screws together tightly. This stops the GX12 GX16 GX20 male female connector from coming apart due to shaking.
- Solder cup terminals - The pins have solder cups. These make it simple to create a strong, lasting wire connection for good signal and power. Applications
- Industrial Machinery: Use as a panel wiring connector for sensors, actuators, and control signals on automated equipment.
- Outdoor Electronics: A good choice for things like outdoor LED lights, security cameras, and marine instruments that need a sealed connection.
- Robotics and CNC: Connect stepper motors, encoders, and limit switches where movement and a secure connection matter.
What It Is
This is an M16 Waterproof Aviation Connector, available in male/female configurations and with various pin counts from 2 to 15. It is designed for industrial applications where a robust and waterproof electrical connection is required. While specific voltage and current ratings are not provided for this model, industrial connectors typically handle between 250V-400V and 16A-32A, making them suitable for demanding environments.
Key Uses & Applications
These aviation connectors are primarily used for industrial machinery panel wiring. Their waterproof rating makes them ideal for environments where moisture or dust ingress is a concern. Examples include connecting sensors, control panels, and power supplies in factories, workshops, and outdoor industrial settings. The range of pin configurations allows for versatile application, from simple power connections to more complex data and control signal transmission.
How to Choose
When selecting an M16 Waterproof Aviation Connector, consider the specific pin configuration required for your application, with options ranging from 2 to 15 pins. Identify whether you need a male or female connector, or both for a complete connection. While the exact voltage and current ratings are not specified for this model, ensure the chosen connector is suitable for the typical industrial power requirements of 250V-400V and 16A-32A. The waterproof rating is a key feature for demanding industrial environments.

Product Name: GX12 GX16 GX20 Waterproof Aviation Connector 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 15Pin M/F, 5/10/20 Sets for Industrial Machinery Panel Wiring. Rated Current (GX12): 5A. Rated Current (GX16): 7A. Rated Current (GX20): 10A. Q: What does the number in 'GX12' or 'GX16' refer to? A: That number indicates the diameter of the connector's threaded coupling in millimeters. So, a GX16 has a 16mm diameter, which helps you match the right size for your panel cutout.. Q: How waterproof are these aviation connectors? A: When the male and female ends are fully screwed together, they provide IP65-rated protection. This means they are sealed against dust and can resist low-pressure water sprays from any direction.. Q: Is this suitable to use as an industrial plug socket on a machine's main panel? A: Yes, that's exactly what they are designed for. They provide a very secure, vibration-resistant connection for wiring sensors, actuators, or data lines to a piece of industrial machinery.. Q: What's your policy if a connector in the set has a defect? A: We stand by the product, so if you find any manufacturing issues like a bent pin or poorly threaded shell, just contact us. We'll gladly send you a replacement set.. Q: When I buy one 'set', what exactly is included? A: Each set gives you one complete connection. You'll get one male plug with a screw-on cover and one female chassis-mount socket..
