The IP67 waterproof rating (achieved via O-ring on the mating face and cable entry seals) makes this configuration suitable for outdoor machinery, agricultural equipment, and industrial applications where the connector is exposed to rain and moisture. The 12mm screw-lock thread provides vibration-resistant mating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e GX12 (12mm thread diameter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Configurations:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 pin (select above)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Docking \/ butt joint (both halves on cable ends)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP67\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5A per contact (2–5 pin); 3A per contact (6–7 pin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250V AC\/DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper alloy, gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc alloy, nickel-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDocking (Butt Joint) vs Panel Mount — Configuration Selection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel mount (nut type):\u003c\/strong\u003e One half is fixed to a panel via a rear nut; the other half is on a cable.

(2) The cable entry seal must be correctly sized for the cable OD and fully compressed by the cable entry nut. (3) The coupling nut must be fully tightened with a wrench — finger-tight is insufficient for IP67. A partially tightened coupling nut will not compress the O-ring sufficiently to achieve IP67 sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the maximum cable OD for GX12 connectors?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGX12 cable entry seals typically accommodate cable OD of 4–7mm. Verify the cable OD against the specific connector’s seal range before ordering. Using cable that is too thin allows water ingress around the seal; cable that is too thick will not fit through the seal nut. For cables outside the standard range, use a cable gland adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use GX12 docking connectors for 24V DC industrial applications?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 250V AC\/DC rating covers 24V DC industrial control voltages. The 5A per contact rating (2–5 pin) supports most 24V sensor and actuator current requirements. For higher current or IP67 requirements with more robust mechanical connection, consider Deutsch DT series connectors (13A per contact, IP67, -55°C to +125°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I identify pin 1 on a GX12 connector?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePin numbers are marked on the insulator face of the connector. On most GX12 connectors, pin 1 is identified by a small “1” molded into the insulator adjacent to the contact. Use a flashlight and magnification if needed — the markings are small. Always verify pin numbering against the connector’s insulator markings before wiring — do not rely on assumed conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgricultural equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sensor and actuator connections on tractors and implements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor industrial machinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-harness connections on equipment exposed to rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deck equipment connections, navigation instrument wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sensor connections on excavators and mobile equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor lighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Control connections for outdoor LED lighting systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 set — GX12 waterproof docking connector: male plug + female socket (pin count as selected).
