EDAC’s Waterproof D-Sub series is rated to IP67 and can be mated to standard D-SUBs, Standard density and D-SUB High density connectors. With EDAC’s water resistant D-Sub system, the back-potted and 'O' ring mounted panel connectors always ensure full IP67 conformity whether mated or unmated and in especially harsh environments can be further protected by an waterproof end cap when unmated. EDAC’s Waterproof D-Sub series offers Waterproof hoods and Waterproof caps that mate with the D-Sub cable end connector. The hood has a compression ring to stop the ingress of water via the cable entry point at the rear and a sealing skirt at the connector interface to prevent liquids from reaching the connectors.The cable-end connection itself will not meet an IP67 rating when unmated unless a waterproof cap with an internal rubber seal is fitted. However, once the total D-Sub connection interface is mated, and not just the panel mount D-Sub connector, it will conform to IP67. Please note that if the hooded connector is to mate with a front mounted waterproof panel connector, a replacement sealing skirt for the hood ordered separately is required to achieve IP67. Unless the sealing skirts or other forms of IP67 protection are added around the interface of the two connectors, any moisture getting into the mating zone could track across the pins and cause shorting. The connector contacts are rear sealed to the shell, which means that D-Sub socket and plug connectors are available with solder cup, straight or right angled PCB, but not crimp contacts. Designed with a one piece solid body housing to resist mechanical impacts during installation and operation, also to minimize possible leakage paths.These connectors comply to current solder requirements with RoHS compliant solder temperatures. The solid body, one piece housing offers optimal protection in the vicinity of high mechanical stress.
