Embedded electronics are increasingly moving beyond protected racks and enclosures into exposed environments: tactical drones, field robotics, or naval sensors. In these conditions, moisture and dust are not potential risks, they are certainties.
The Challenge: Protect Without Adding Bulk
Traditionally, switching to a “sealed” connector means accepting a difficult compromise: larger housings, increased weight, or complex protective caps. For engineers, this often results in redesigning mechanical interfaces or changing interconnect standards to accommodate new constraints.
The Solution: DMM Density, Now with Sealing
To meet this requirement without impacting your design, we have developed a reinforced, sealed version of our DMM connector.
A Physical Barrier
This specific version is factory-modified to ensure IP67 compliance (protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion). The sealing strategy relies on multiple lines of defense:
- Front Side (Panel Interface): Integration of an O-ring seal ensuring tight sealing between the connector and your equipment enclosure.
- Rear Side (Cable/Board Interface): Full potting encapsulation. This resin sealing prevents any infiltration through wires or contacts, even in cases of condensation or oil splashes.
Why Choose This Configuration?
- Enhanced Reliability: Eliminates risks of contact corrosion and short circuits.
- Zero Mechanical Impact: Maintains the same dimensions and mounting points as standard DMM connectors.
- Flexibility: Available on request to adapt your systems to the most demanding operational environments.
If your equipment must withstand rain, mud, or sea spray, your interconnect solution should never be the weak point. This IP67 version strengthens your interfaces without forcing a complete redesign.
The sealed DMM requires particular attention regarding gasket selection and tightening torque.
