X-Dry blocks moisture transmission in connectors
A waterproof connector with X-Dry technology, the Techno TH392, has been introduced by Hylec-APL. All cables are hydroscopic to some degree and will therefore absorb moisture that can collect inside the cable sheath, moving along its length and even crossing terminations in the cable. The X-Dry technology blocks moisture transmission across terminals, protecting electrical and electronic equipment.
The connector has screw or piercing terminals and can accept cables with 8-12mm diameters, the maximum cable cross section is 4mm2 for screw terminals and 0.5-1.5mm2 for the piercing clip terminals. Water and dust protection is to IP68 at 3bar from 30 minutes to two hours. The rated current is 17.5A, 450V and has an operating temperature from -40 to +125°C.
The contact screw terminals are brass nickel plated. The standard screws are steel zinc plated and the piercing screws are plated with steel zinc brass. There are three- and four-way versions, the four-way version takes up 400x160x205mm.
The mini connector is suitable for operation in tight spaces and the piercing clip wiring system can be installed quickly and safely. Accessories include grommets, reducers, lock nuts and a special tool that ensures the correct installation of the product to provide maximum protection.
