NF7286-05PA

5 Pin Waterproof Connectors

When systems have to deal with intense environments, ordinary connectors generally tend to just give up. Our special waterproof connectors keep them going all the time, even when the conditions aren’t always the best. There’s a huge need for strong electrical connections these days. That’s why the waterproof connector market has become super important for industries that need dependable performance outdoors.

What is a 5 Pin Waterproof Connector & How does it work?

The 5-Pin Waterproof Connector (NF7286-05PA) is an IP67-rated industrial connector. It keeps up reliable electrical connections in intense environments. This precision-engineered connector features five gold-plated pins arranged in a specialized layout that ensures consistent signal transmission while preventing moisture ingress. The connector’s innovative design incorporates multiple sealing mechanisms, including waterproof GLUE technology and precise tolerancing, to achieve its exceptional environmental protection.

Promax Pogo Pin’s connector’s dimensions (19.00 mm × 5.50 mm × 4.50 mm) make it ideal for space-constrained applications while maintaining robust performance. Each pin measures 0.50 mm in diameter with precise 1.50 mm spacing between poles, ensuring optimal contact while preventing signal interference in sensitive wire connections. The 5-pin configuration offers versatility for various electrical applications requiring multiple connection points.

According to industry projections, the waterproof connectors market is expected to grow from $2.9 billion in 2023 to $5.8 billion by 2033, reflecting a 7.2% CAGR driven by increasing industrial and automotive applications.

Why do Engineers Choose IP67-Rated Connectors for Harsh Environments?

IP67-rated connectors provide complete protection against dust ingress and water immersion, making them essential for applications exposed to environmental hazards. The IP67 rating guarantees total dust protection (6) and waterproof capability (7) when submerged up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, ensuring continuous operation even in wet conditions. For even more demanding applications, our products meet IP68 specifications for continuous submersion and IP65 protection against water jets.

The comprehensive sealing technology in our connector includes specially formulated waterproof GLUE that creates a permanent barrier against moisture infiltration. Unlike common connectors with basic O-ring seals, our solution provides protection from multiple directions, preventing water ingress through cable entry points, housing junctions, and contact areas. This seal design ensures long-term performance in outdoor lighting systems and other exposed applications.

Following the standards established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), this connector continues the evolution of connection technology that began with standardized DIN connectors in the mid-1950s.

Key Protection Features

• Complete dust-tight sealing (IP6X)
• 30-minute water immersion protection to 1 meter (IPX7)
• 48-hour salt spray corrosion and seal out moisture resistance
• 10%RH to 90%RH humidity operation range

The IP (Ingress Protection) rating system is based on the IEC 60529 standard that defines the degrees of protection provided by enclosures, with testing protocols that include resistance measurement, pull strength evaluation, and waterproof verification across multiple environmental conditions.

What Technical Specifications Make Our 5 Pin Connector Superior?

The NF7286-05PA incorporates a specialized North-South pole design with precisely machined contacts that maintain alignment under mechanical stress. This engineering approach ensures reliable connectivity even when subjected to vibration, thermal expansion, and repeated mating cycles. Each terminal is designed for secure lead attachment while maintaining the environmental seal. The connector’s performance remains stable across diverse environments, from outdoor installations to industrial equipment settings.

How does the Design Ensure Long-Term Reliability?

The 5-Pin Connector achieves exceptional reliability through its sophisticated multi-layer protection system. The connector features a proprietary waterproof GLUE application process that creates an impermeable seal around critical junction points. This specialized sealant maintains flexibility across the entire temperature range while preventing moisture penetration.

The connector’s pin design incorporates a specialized working height configuration that maintains optimal contact pressure throughout the connection lifecycle. This ensures the 50 mOhm maximum contact resistance specification is maintained even after thousands of mating cycles, making it an ideal power accessory for critical systems. The screw-lock mechanism prevents accidental disconnect during operation or maintenance procedures.
