The new waterproof wire-to-wire connectors from KYOCERA AVX, the 9289-000 Series, are intended to provide affordable, compact, easy-to-use, and highly reliable IP67 connections across a range of commercial, industrial, transportation, and consumer electronics applications.
These new single-piece, three-position waterproof wire-to-wire connectors are the first in the KYOCERA AVX portfolio’s waterproof connector series and the sixth poke-home wire-to-wire connector series overall. They also happen to be the first waterproof connectors in the range to use the company’s well-proven poke-home contact technology.
The new 9289-000 Series waterproof wire-to-wire connectors are engineered to simplify, expedite, and error-proof the termination process for a wide range of power and signal applications that require waterproof connections. They enable tool-free, straightforward strip-and-poke-home wire insertion and twist-and-pull wire extraction for both solid and stranded wires, facilitating quick, easy, accurate, and cost-effective in-field connections with IP67 protection.
The series includes integral wire-stops to prevent over-insertion, single-piece phosphor bronze contacts with tin-over-nickel plating, high-force contact beams that offer maximum wire retention and superior mechanical stability, and transparent polycarbonate insulators that enable installers to visually verify wire positioning and ensure proper insertion.
In addition, it saves money and space as compared to two-piece wire-to-wire connections that need subassembly and contact crimping.
The 9289-000 Series waterproof wire-to-wire connectors provide IP67 connections for 16AWG wire with outer diameters of 2.0–2.2mm or 3.0–3.2mm. They are rated for up to 10A, up to 1,000VACRMS or the DC equivalent, and operation temperatures ranging from -40°C to +80°C.
They are also RoHS compliant, UL certified, and perfect for a variety of uses, such as household appliances, drones, outdoor recreational vehicles, transportation lighting, horticulture lighting, and other outdoor power and lighting applications. 200 pieces of parts per bag are used for bulk packaging; upon request, variations with other contact counts and wire widths may be provided.
“We’re thrilled to introduce our first waterproof poke-home connectors,” said Perrin Hardee, Product Marketing Manager, KYOCERA AVX. “The new 9289-000 Series single-piece, poke-home waterproof wire-to-wire connectors fill a gap in the industrial, transportation, commercial, and consumer electronics markets by facilitating quick, easy, accurate, economical, and space-saving in-field connections with IP67 protection, superior mechanical stability, and maximum wire retention strength for both solid and stranded wires.”
