To provide protection against dirt and moisture, these D-sub plug connectors meet protection category IP67. No tools are needed to lock the plug housing to the mounting frame—it is a "plug and play" operation. This simplifies set up and maintenance, because connectors are easy to unplug, plug in, and move. Integrated EMC shielding protects against interference and allows for error-free data transfer up to 12 Mbps.
