It is designed for outdoor use and is waterproof and dustproof to IP68, IP69k.  Known as the HEC (harsh environment connector), the Series 696 withstands high-pressure washing and offers high levels of resistance to UV, temperature fluctuations, acid rain, salt spray, ozone and other pollutants.

It can handle all applications operating in harsh environments including agricultural and construction equipment, traffic and signalling systems, process engineering plants and water purification and recycling equipment. 

A three-point bayonet locking system makes for a safe, quick and secure fastening, while a robust coding mechanism prevents incorrect orientation.  The connector is suitable for over 1000 mating cycles and uses a variety of crimp contacts to achieve a secure vibration proof termination. 

The initial contact arrangement is an eight-pole hybrid with four signal contacts and three +PE that can accommodate a variety of wire gauges.  Signal contacts are rated up to 3A and 60V and power contacts to 25A and 400V.  Contacts are gold-plated and it caters for cable sizes from 6-17mm in diameter.
