The system is designed for industrial and other harsh environments, offering a silicon seal that meets IP68 specifications for dust and waterproof sealing. The rectangular design saves space compared to traditional IP68 interconnects making the system particularly well suited to smaller and lower profile applications. In addition, a 'unique' push-to-seal positive latching system with audible click slows for easier mating and requires less space for mating connectors and cables.
AccliMate rectangular Ethernet panel-mount sockets (RPBE Series) meet CAT5e, CAT, and CAT3 specifications and are available in either single or dual port designs. The Cable Plug (RCE Series) is available double-ended (both ends sealed) or with a blunt cut (one end sealed). The rugged 28AWG cable, with copper conductors and PVC jacket, comes in a choice of 2, 3, or 5 metre assembled lengths. Dust caps for protection while the system is unmated are available for both cable plugs and sockets.
In addition to the Ethernet system, Samtec also offers and IP68-rated sealed rectangular Acclimate cable plug and receptacle featuring its rugged Tiger Eye contacts on 0.05-inch pitch. A power system on 0.1-inch pitch is currently in development. IP68-rated Sealed circular AccliMate systems include cable plugs and receptacles with a choice of Tiger Eye highly-reliable contacts, Ethernet, USB, Mini USB, power, or high-density inserts. Custom sealed interconnect designs are also available, says the company.
