New to Gradconn’s Nautilus waterproof coaxial range, PCB mount connector versions have been added with IP67 and IP68 protection from moisture and particle ingress - when mated and unmated. The SMA connectors are available in normal polarity and reverse polarity.
Nautilus waterproof coaxial connectors in an enclosure feature an internal seal and O-ring which prevents ingress of water and particles through both the inner contact and through the panel. The accompanying diagram shows an example of a through-panel ingress problem and SMA PCB connector IP67/IP68 solution versus the Nautilus solution.
Nautilus coaxial connectors are tested to the following exacting specifications:
• IP 6x dust tight – no particle ingress.
• IP x7 waterproof for 30 minutes up to 1 metre underwater.
• IP x8 waterproof for 48 hours at 1 metre underwater.
• IP x8 waterproof for 12 hours at 5 metres underwater.
• Pressure test – 1 bar or 14,5 psi for 10 seconds.
IP6x and IPx7 test documentation is available, as well as IPx8 and pressure test documentation and test videos.
