Clipper
Industrial Plastic Connectors
Presentation
CLIPPER is a plastic low cost range of
industrial connectors, UL & CSA approved.
Complementing SOURIAU product range
CLIPPER offers :
• a high sealing level :
- IP67 for the sealed plug (with o’ring
and mating seal)
- IP68 for the enhanced sealed plug
(with o’ring and a special mating seal).
This version allows a permanent waterproof
level when immersed at depths down
to 30 meters.
• a retention plate system allowing
insertion/extraction of the contacts without
the need for tooling,
• facilities to use trade backshells with the
electrical thread adaptor (PG).
