With features such as spring-loaded contacts for a positive contact force, an IP68-rated version of Harwin's HotShoe connector enables rapid and simple connection. Available in standard 8-, 12-, and 16-way versions, the connector's spring-loaded contacts maintain a positive contact force against the mating half, ensuring reliable connection even under the most demanding conditions. Already providing a high degree of resistance to dust, water, and chemical ingress, the new IP68 versions are also dust-tight and provide protection against total and continuous submersion in water to a depth of 1.5 meters for two hours. Fabricated using highly durable plastics, HotShoe connectors are very robust, ensuring continued reliability throughout a product's entire lifecycle. HotShoe connectors are suitable for harsh environment applications and use in portable equipment where separate battery modules are used, for data transfer docking stations, and for battery charging and data communications equipment.
