Quick-latch connectors suit harsh environments

They use a quick-latch mechanism that provides an audible mating click and allows smooth, disengagement by simply depressing the coupling mechanism on the receptacle. This feature also ensures that the connectors cannot be unmated by pulling or accidentally stressing the cable.

Available in two, seven, and 12-way configurations with the two-way version capable of handling 13A per contact, the QC range is designed to provide users with the flexibility of choosing between a simple wire seal, compression gland or over-moulding to provide environmental sealing up to IP68.

The connectors can be washed, sterilised and autoclaved without any detriment to performance and chemical resistant versions are available. With a temperature rating of 150ºC the QC range is ideal for use in the harsh environments found in marine, industrial, medical, transportation, oil and chemical industries.
