Electronics Interconnect Power Supply / Management connectors powerBULGIN 9000 Series Buccaneer circular power connectors comprises a range of high amperage flex body, flex in-line and flange mount device that are rated to IP68, suitable for high current applications where easy connection and protection from high levels of dust and moisture are critical. The multi-pin circular devices are available with either a bayonet ¼ turn locking mechanism for quick connector mating and release, or a screw turn locking mechanism that achieves a secure, robust connection but is also easy to disconnect. Both variants are equipped with visual alignment features to ensure correct mating, and positive feedback on the locking mechanism to give assurance that the connector is correctly mated and sealed.
