Overmolded RJ45 connector with metal housing in IP69K
The Y-ConCover-40-O (O stands for Overmold) is an RJ45 hybrid connector consisting of a metal protective housing with additional overmolding that achieves outstanding sealing characteristics. It is based on the Yamaichi Electronics "Hermetic Sealed' technology, which was developed a few years ago for reliable photovoltaic connection systems. The product lifetime of these products is designed to be 25 years.
The Y-ConCover-40-O can thus be used in any RJ45 area with strict requirements for IP sealing (IP 67 / IP 68 / IP 69K), for example in automation, medical technology, the construction industry or in other areas with harsh environmental conditions.
With its kink protection, IP protection is maintained even when the cable is bent at a 180 degree angle. This is possible due to a special connection method used between the cable, metal parts and the overmolding. The metal housing allows the Y-ConCover-40-O to withstand the extreme mechanical stresses that frequently occur in industrial applications. It is suitable for Industrial Ethernet and other field bus standards.
The robust metal connector is available in an EMC-protected variant or without EMC protection. The variant with EMC protection can withstand voltage spikes up to 10kV with no influence on the data signal protocol used. The material used has outstanding temperature ageing resistance in the overmolded area, and can therefore be used over a wide range of temperatures. Its very good resistance against environmental influences such as coolants and lubricants, solvents, UV and ozone guarantees a long service life without restrictions in the mechanical or electrical performance of the product.
Like the standard product Y-ConCover-40 without overmolding, the Y-ConCover-40-O is available with a different number of signal contacts, and optionally with additional power contacts as well. The power contacts integrated into the RJ45 permit the simultaneous current transmission of 2.1A at 70degC over the same cable, which means additional cost savings.
