IP66/67/68 Waterproof Connectors

In today's rapidly evolving world, the demand for dependable and effective electrical connections spans a myriad of industries. AVIN, at the forefront of connector and wire harness solutions, delivers a wide array of products tailored to suit diverse requirements. Anchored by an unwavering commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, AVIN has emerged as the first choice for businesses in search of premium IP66/67/68 waterproof connectors and wire harnesses.

Avertronics (AVIN) waterproof connectors support continuous DC currents from 5A to 150A, withstand instantaneous peak currents up to 300A for 5 seconds, and accommodate wire dimensions ranging from 26 AWG (thin signal wires) up to 2 AWG (thick power wires).

The technical specifications extracted from the Avertronics Waterproof Connectors Portfolio break down as follows:

Current Capabilities (Continuous vs. Instantaneous)

• Minimum Continuous DC Current: 5A (found on the compact C1 model).
• Maximum Continuous DC Current: 150A (found on heavy-duty D12 and D7 models).
• Maximum Instantaneous Peak Current: 300A for 5 seconds (supported by D12 and D7 power terminals).

Wire Dimensions & Thickness Compatibility

AVIN connectors use integrated Power (Pwr) and Signal (Sig) configurations to span a broad cross-section of wire thicknesses:

• Signal Terminals (Thinnest Wire): Handles wire dimensions from 26 AWG to 22 AWG.
• Power Terminals (Thickest Wire): Handles wire dimensions from 20 AWG up to 2 AWG (supported by high-current series like D2, D7, and D12).

Core Product Features

• Dual IP66 / IP67 / IP68 Protection: Dust-tight sealing that withstands heavy low-pressure sprays up to deep underwater submersion (e.g., the C7 model guarantees 24 hours of immersion at a 50-meter depth).
• Advanced Materials: Housings are built with premium PBT+GF or PA66+GF (UL94 V0 flame retardant plastics) coupled with high-conductivity silver-plated power contacts.
• Extreme Durability: Engineered for severe industrial use with a wide temperature tolerance of -40°C to +125°C and an insertion life cycle of 3,000 to 5,000 matings.
• Strategic Designs: Features anti-spark architectures (D8 series) and specialized gate terminals that allow angle plug-ins for tight spaces.

Because Avertronics (AVIN) connectors carry a UL94 V0 certification, both material types (PBT+GF and PA66+GF) are treated with eco-friendly flame retardants that allow them to self-extinguish within 10 seconds without dropping flaming particles.

The IP66/67/68 rating represents the pinnacle in waterproofing standards. It permits sustained use in water depths of up to one meter. Beyond just water resistance, IP68 ensures robust protection against both solid particles and liquids, guaranteeing steadfast connectivity even in moisture-rich settings

To provide further clarity, here's a brief comparison of IP ratings:

IP66	IP67	IP68
Dust-tight, resists low-pressure water. Outdoor rain and splash protection.	Dust-tight, tolerates 1m water immersion. Ideal for rugged outdoor use.	Dust-tight, submersible beyond 1m. Suited for underwater use.

It's clear that with the IP66/67/68 rating, AVIN is providing unparalleled durability and reliability for businesses operating in challenging conditions.
