Switchcraft Conxall has introduced the Insta-Click line of ConX connectors which latch automatically when coupled with the receptacles. To disconnect them twist the spring-loaded wingnut 90 degrees counterclockwise and pull. This eliminates over tightening the coupling ring which can damage the locking mechanism.

Harsh Environment      The Con-X® Insta-Click™ series is sealed to IP68 for harsh environments when used with a molded cable assembly.

UV Resistant     A special Hi PBT material provides excellent UV resistance for outdoor use and lighting applications. We can mold the connectors onto UV rated cable for a better tailored solution for your application.

Made in the USA     Conxall connectors are made in the USA to the high standards that have made Conxall the leading name in harsh environment connectors. Lead time is short, you can speak with engineering during the day time there are few delivery surprises.

Contact Configurations      This series of connectors is available in a wide variety of contact sizes and configurations up to 10 pins, including the mixed contact size layouts with power and signal pins in the same connector.

Voltage Rating     InstaClick connectors are rated at 300V AC and DC.

Current Rating   

13A max for # 16 contacts

7.5A max for #20 contacts            

3.0A max for #22 contacts          

Refer to website for detailed information

Contact Resistance     Gold plating on all the contacts allows a 20 milliohm initial contact resistance rating.

Applications

Data logging

Security Systems

Safety equipment

Ambulatory medical equipment

Outdoor signs

Indoor Agricultural Lighting

Industrial sensors and controls

Cable Assemblies

These connectors can be overmolded right onto the cable for you, increasing the pull-out strength, improving the environmental seal and making the cables tamper-proof. This also improved the manufacturing process by eliminating quality issues associated with in-house cable assembly.  Cables are 100% tested and documented.
