The PA housing is resistant to impact and wear, so it holds its own in harsh environments.

• Broad operating temperature range between -25ºC and +70ºC for use in demanding environments
• Copper-zinc alloy contacts are highly conductive and corrosion-resistant for a reliable connection

• Manufacturing facilities
• Industrial automation
• Transportation systems

A right-angle connector like this one is ideal for hooking up equipment in tight, awkward spaces. It also minimises strain on the cable.
