We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "IP68",
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 Enclosures take receivers into the great outdoors from
RF Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "Injected moulded ABS enclosures are specifically designed to house a receiver module and an antenna".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Plug and receptacle ease installation and service from
Fischer Connectors: "Fischer Connectors has developed a new low-profile receptacle and panel plug that it reckons provide an ideal design for the interconnection of modular systems".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Deutsch
concerning its Quick Connect waterproof connectors
- take a look at Waterproof connectors help shed LED light
which says: "When designing its new system of underwater lighting for the leisure marine industry, OceanLED chose Deutsch Quick Connect waterproof connectors".
Take a look also at the news release from PEI-Genesis, Connectors are sealed to IP68,
as well as Panel mount receptacles turn to PCBs from Switchcraft,
and Connectors offer IP68 seal from Bulgin Components.
