IP68 Seal Maintenance

• Ensure rubber wire seals are correctly seated around the 18 AWG wire insulation before inserting terminals
• Apply dielectric grease to the mating connector faces for additional moisture protection
• Using undersized wire (20 AWG or smaller) will prevent the seal from compressing correctly, compromising the IP68 rating

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What current rating is this connector suitable for?
A: Up to 7.5A per pin – suitable for sensor signals, low-current actuators, and lighting circuits up to 90W at 12V. For higher current loads, use the 2.8mm Metri-Pack 280 (13A/pin) or 6.3mm Faston series (20A/pin).

Q: What crimping tool is needed?
A: Use a ratchet crimper rated for 18 AWG (0.5 mm²) – Engineer PA-09 or equivalent precision ratchet crimper.
