Series of miniature circular power connectors extended

Modern applications demand increased flexibility as well as high power density and reduced weight – all in a small footprint. The 4000 series delivers all of that and is capable of carrying a variety of voltages and currents throughout modern systems.

The cost-effective connectors are also highly rugged and suitable for applications where long-term durability is a necessity. Able to withstand vibrations, shocks and corrosion to EN/IEC 60068 requirements and salt spray for marine applications, the Buccaneer 4000 series connectors are also capable of being submerged in water to the IP68 rating and able to withstand powerful jet sprays / high pressure washing to IP69k standards when mated.

Additionally, the connectors have a UV-resistant, UL94V-0 flammability-rated plastic body equipped with a simple and efficient bayonet locking mechanism, allowing users to make a secure connection without the need for specialist tools.

“These additions to our popular 4000 series connectors give designers more options when selecting rugged connectors for their designs. Not only does having the exact number of poles available avoid over-engineering, has it also reduced the possibility for assembly errors.” said Christian Taylor, Sustaining Engineering Team Leader at Bulgin. “The 4000 series is now more flexible than before, but it still provides a cost-effective and rugged solution for space and weight-constrained modern applications.”

The extended miniature circular power connector range joins Bulgin’s already extensive offering of push button, piezo, slide, toggle and rocker switches designed for a wide variety of industrial applications.
