Bulgin's smallest waterproof connector, the 400 Series Buccaneer, is now available in a PCB mounting panel version. This new version, the PX0413, is rear panel mounted enabling the connector to be soldered directly to a PCB then offered up to the panel and secured using a single panel-fixing nut.

Available in 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 way, the PCB connectors have gold plated contacts rated to 5A 125Vac/dc (4-8 way) and 1A 50Vac/dc (10 and 12 way) and are fully compatible with the 400 Series flex connectors. PC spill length is 3.5mm, designed for use in 1.6mm PCBs, and both pin and socket contact versions are available allowing safe power entry and exit from equipment.

As with other 400 Series Buccaneers the body material is UL94V-0 rated and the connector family ratings of fully dust and waterproof to IP68 are maintained. A new sealing cap is available which is secured behind the panel fixing nut to maintain the IP68 rating when the connectors are unmated.
