UltiMate 80 connectors are compliant with MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-202 and have a 500 hour salt mist rating and will last up to 5,000 mating cycles (up to 10,000 for the plug). Other ratings are 7.7Grms for ramdom vibration, 100G for shock, 5,000 cycles for +/-45° bending and -55 to +135°C.
Delivery is as a pre-cabled plug, pre-cabled receptacle or panel receptacle.
“The UltiMate connectors’ resin-sealed contact block offers sealing up to IP68 – IP69 even unmated, gastight, CBRN decontamination, high shock and vibration resistance, as well as superior cable resistance in terms of traction,” claimed the company.
