7-pole versions added to sealed connectors
Bulgin has extended its 900 series Buccaneer range of heavy duty IP68 sealed connectors to include a 7 pole version for all body styles.
LED indicators resist the vandals
Bulgin's vandal resistant LED Indicators are front-panel sealed to IP67, and are available with red, blue, green or yellow high-brightness LEDs for daylight visibility.
Originally designed for high speed data transfer in consumer multimedia equipment, FireWire has now transferred from the home into industrial environments where hazards of water and dust are present.
The new FireWire Buccaneer family of connectors meets this challenge, and is available in two forms: the standard six-pole and the miniature four-pole, which is often used on cameras and small peripheral devices.
Both the four- and six-pole interfaces are available for cable and panel mounting.
The screw coupling thread ensures a vibration and shock resistant connection and sealing caps maintain the IP68 rating of the connectors whilst not in use.
The cable connectors are overmoulded directly on the cable, and are available in 2 or 4m lengths as standard and terminated with Buccaneer FireWire at one end and a standard FireWire connector at the other.
Other configurations are available for volume users.
The panel mounted connectors are terminated with adapter leads for connection onto PCBs.
Fully RoHS compliant, FireWire Buccaneer complements Bulgin's other waterproof data connectors for Ethernet, USB and SMB. Request a free brochure from Bulgin Components ...
