We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "IP67",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Speedy access to latest Molex lines from
RS Components UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "All the latest connectors from Molex are now available from RS Components".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Plastic subminiatures are easy to mate from
Binder-USA: "Binder-USA has expanded its plastic push-pull locking product family with the new subminiature Series 430 connectors".
In January 2008, we covered the news from PEI-Genesis
concerning its Amphenol 62IP bayonet-lock connectors
- take a look at Bayonet-lock connectors offer IP67 protection
which says: "The 62IP series of miniature bayonet-lock connectors uses positive shell-to-shell keying to prevent any mis-mating or cross plugging of adjacently mounted connectors".
Take a look also at the news release from RJS Electronics, More options in vandal-resistant switches,
as well as Latching function eases switch use from Schurter Input Systems,
and Vandal-resistant keyboards suits office aesthetic from EAO.
