Digi-Key Corporation Welcomes New Series from CONEC®

The IP67-rated solid-body D-sub connector has a silicone O-ring panel seal for a watertight connection. CONEC ensures high performance with gold-plated machined contacts. The connector is available in standard, high-density, and combination D-sub configurations, and with solder-cup, right-angle, and straight terminations.

The solid-body, nickel-plated, zinc die cast housing conforms to current solder requirements for RoHS-compliant solder temperatures. The entire product range is UL Listed, rated to IP67 and can be mated to standard shell sizes one through five in D-sub standard, D-sub high density, and mixed-layout configurations.

CONEC's robust design performs better against mechanical impacts during installation and operation and has less possible leak paths, making it ideal for applications such as industrial machinery, medical equipment, test and measurement equipment, and communications.

The new line of advanced, water-resistant D-sub connectors are now available for purchase on Digi-Key's global websites and will be featured in future print and online catalogs. Digi-Key's websites also feature a product training module in which customers can receive more information about this series and learn how to best utilize the CONEC connectors.

Using leading-edge processes and state-of-the-art technologies, Digi-Key serves a global customer base from its 600,000 square foot facility in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA.
