IP 65+, panel mount connector options

[Racecardriver16]

Looking for something inexpensive for a (future) high volume product.. Would prefer rectangle snap in, but can deal with circular.

200V, less than an amp, 3 pins (one wont be used for now...) so a 2 pin version would be ok near term. Will likely be plastic for cost.

Been using some switch craft stuff, but the mating cable connector is pretty pricey.


Thanks for any thoughts...

Not sure if it fits the "inexpensive" catagory, but I find Deutsch connectors, mainly DT and some HD family of connectors being used extensively by CAT and many others. Lots of size options and panel mount styles available in many of the types. There are now some Deutsch compatible connectors on the market now as well. My own experience with them has been excellent.

Bulgin's 'Buccanneer' range achieves IP68 and they are cheap for the rating offered. Seems to be a greater variety of types than last time I used them too:
