1. What is the protection level of the circular connector housing?
The protection level is usually represented by an IP code, such as IP67. This level indicates the protective ability of the shell against solids (such as dust) and liquids (such as water). High IP rating is suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.

2. What are the advantages of circular connector housings in outdoor applications?
The shell provides protection level, weather resistance, and corrosion resistance, ensuring that the connector operates stably for a long time in humid, extreme temperature, and outdoor environments.
-
3. How to choose the cable entry for the circular connector housing?
The size of the cable entry for the casing should be selected based on the diameter of the cable used, ensuring that the cable can be tightly clamped after passing through the entry to prevent tension from affecting the internal connection points of the connector.
