The JMX plug plus receptacle are rated IP68 in the mated condition. In addition, when the receptacle with solder contacts are used, the IP68 performance is further expanded to include the unmated condition. This high level of waterproof performance is achieved by the unique rubber sealing gland on the plug and a specific compound used on the solder receptacle. The table displayed here summarizes the IP rating according to the configuration selected. It should be noted that the IP68 is defined at one bar during one week per IEC 60529. This waterproof characteristic will protect the equipment from fluid ingress, which is inherent to medical environments or where measurement instrumentation are often subjected to constant cleaning or exposure to various fluids.
