Product Description

FQ Series IP67 Waterproof Circular Connector Socket – 3 Pin Bayonet Connector

Product Description

The FQ Series Waterproof Circular Connector Socket is designed for dependable power and signal transmission in industrial applications where protection against moisture, dust, vibration, and harsh environmental conditions is essential. Manufactured in accordance with DZ4Q/RE008-84, the FQ series is an upgraded version of the traditional Q series, offering enhanced sealing performance, improved mechanical reliability, and a more compact structure.

One of its key advantages is the innovative squirrel-cage elastic contact design, which replaces conventional wire spring contacts. This advanced structure provides lower contact resistance, greater contact stability, and improved resistance to vibration and mechanical shock. Combined with a quick-lock bayonet coupling mechanism, the connector enables fast installation while maintaining a secure and reliable electrical connection. Its lightweight aluminum alloy housing and IP67 protection rating make it an excellent choice for demanding industrial environments.

Product Features

-- IP67 protection effectively prevents the ingress of dust and water during operation.

-- Bayonet locking mechanism allows quick installation and secure connection.

-- Squirrel-cage elastic female contacts improve conductivity and maintain stable contact pressure.

-- Gold-plated copper contacts reduce contact resistance and enhance corrosion resistance.

-- Compact and lightweight aluminum alloy shell with anodized surface treatment.

-- Excellent resistance to vibration, impact, humidity, and temperature variations.

-- Designed for repeated connection with a service life of up to 500 mating cycles.

Technology & Working Principle

The FQ connector utilizes a precision bayonet locking mechanism to ensure rapid installation and reliable mechanical retention. Its squirrel-cage elastic contact structure maintains consistent contact pressure over repeated mating cycles, improving electrical stability while reducing wear. Combined with high-performance sealing components and an anodized aluminum housing, the connector delivers dependable operation in challenging industrial environments.
