The best-selling Buccaneer range of connectors from Elektron Technology brand Bulgin components now feature in almost 70% of traffic detection and control products developed by AGD Systems Ltd (AGD). Bulgin Components, an Elektron Technology brand, has been a trusted supplier to AGD since the early 1990s. AGD uses Bulgin’s Buccaneer connectors in nearly 70% of its product line, including its entire vehicle and pedestrian detection ranges.

Bulgin Components, a brand of Elektron Technology, has uprated its popular Standard Buccaneer range of IP68-rated environmentally sealed circular connectors with higher voltage ratings. The two, three, four, six and seven pole versions have been uprated from the original 250V to 277V. This upgrade extends the ranges suitability into commercial and industrial applications, such as overhead lighting and high power equipment.

Independently tested for compliance to ATEX standards for use in Zone 2 and Zone 22 environments, the new EXP series is manufactured from a tough high grade UL94V-0 rated Polycarbonate material. Similar in construction to Bulgin’s popular 900 Series Buccaneer, the connectors are environmentally sealed to IP68 to provide protection for the most severe of dust and water borne environments. Ambient temperature range is from -20°C to +55°C.

Bulgin’s new self-pairing Bluetooth cable replacement products eliminate data cables and allow equipment with RS485 or RS232 data ports to communicate using wireless Bluetooth technology. The IP68 rated environmentally sealed enclosure protects against dust and moisture, so the units can be used in numerous harsh or hostile applications. The PX0885 can be mounted internally or externally for maximum flexibility, convenience and also for optimu...

Bulgin¹s range of Standard Buccaneer waterproof connectors now have higher current ratings for 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 pole versions. VDE has approved increased current ratings for 2 and 3 poles from 10A, 250V to 12A, 250V, 4 pole from 6A, 250V to 10A, 250V and 6 and 7 poles from 3A, 250V to 5A, 250V.

The number of uses for Bulgin’s 400 Series Buccaneer waterproof connectors has grown with the introduction of fully assembled cables using over-moulded cable connectors. Using over-mould technology a secure, reliable and tamperproof cable termination is created which is dust and waterproof to IP68. The two new cable connectors, PX0400 - flex, and PX0401 - flex in-line, allow secure connections to be made with in-line cable assemblies or cable ...

The latest addition to Bulgin’s waterproof Ethernet Buccaneer connector system is a new EMI shielded backshell. While Ethernet Buccaneer is a fully shielded system, the plastic panel connector, PX0833, does not have a natural bond or earth path to a metal chassis.

Bulgin’s new range of IP67 rated plastic enclosures combine a host of practical features to provide a unique package ideal for applications such as control stations and electrical & electronic control equipment where protection from dust and water is necessary.

The PX0799 backshell replaces the existing panel nut, fixing the connector in place, and provides dust and water protection up to IP68 between the panel and the cable at the rear. This allows a through panel seal with waterproof connections both sides of the panel whilst still retaining a re-wireable capability.

The latest addition to Bulgin’s large range of battery holders is an open frame style for CR123A size cells. First designed for equipment requiring extended life in high drain applications such as LED torches, film cameras and digital cameras, the characteristics of this high power, light weight cell make it an ideal choice for applications such as Zigbee where space could be at a premium and extended life with a distinct requirement for sleepy...

Bulgin's IP68 Waterproof Ethernet Buccaneer family has been extended with four new panel mount versions. Using the industry standard shielded RJ45 interface, these connectors are now available with PCB and IDC termination.

At 32mm diameter the MP0050 is the largest in Bulgin’s extensive range of vandal resistant switches. Manufactured from Stainless Steel it is designed to complement the other switches in the range and is available with flush and protruding buttons.

This latest addition to the 900 Series Buccaneer connector range further extends the applications of this increasingly popular variant of Bulgin’s IP68 rated circular connectors. All existing body styles; flex, flex in-line, panel mount and flange mount types can now offer 10 contacts rated to 10A, 250V.

Bulgin’s IP68 Waterproof Ethernet Buccaneer family has been extended with two new panel mount versions. Using standard RJ45 connectors these connectors are now available for PCB mounting and IDC termination. The PX0839/PC is designed for direct PCB mounting. The connector is rear-of panel mounting, which in addition to providing an anchor point for the PCB, also allows assembly and, if necessary, testing before fitting to the panel. The conne...

The first of Bulgin's new range is a compact switch extending less than 21mm behind the panel. These single pole, momentary, push to make switches are rated at 2A, 48Vdc and are capable of 100,000 operations at full load and 1,000,000 mechanical operations. There are three button styles; flush, domed and prominent, and all switch variants have screw terminals. The MP0042 is manufactured in stainless steel with a polished finish. The MP0044 is man...

Bluetooth wireless connectivity is the latest addition to Bulgin's USB Buccaneer connector family. Bluetooth Buccaneer is a robust USB to Bluetooth adapter designed to overcome common limitations with hard-wired USB connections, such as the 5 metre distance restriction and signal isolation problems.
