Bulgin Circular Connector, 6 Contacts, Cable Mount, Miniature Connector, Socket, Female, IP68, Buccaneer 400 Series

From Bulgin, the Buccaneer 400 series of robust circular connectors ideal for harsh environments. With an IP68 ingress rating, they are fully sealed and protected from the elements. A knurled locking ring ensures secure mating and a tamperproof connection. A dust cap for extra protection is also available separately. Compact in form, the circular connectors are ideal for industrial applications requiring a small design footprint.

Cable mount connectors are available in both male (plug) and female (socket) formats. Both types accept either crimp or solder contacts depending on application. (Contacts must be ordered separately)

Bulgin Buccaneer 400 series connectors mate with Flex in-line or panel mount connectors of the opposite gender.

Mate with in-line or panel mount versions
For the 4-way shell (426-0919), 6-way shell (476-2178) and the 8-way shell (426-0931) suitable contacts are 426-1322 and 426-1344;for stock no. 426-0896 a suitable contact is stock no. 426-1388

Due to their excellent environmental resistance properties, the Buccaneer 400 range of industrial power connectors are best suited to harsher working environments that demand a higher level of protection. Some of the most common engineering applications are;

• Industrial pumps
• Cylinders and valves
• Sensors and switches
• Motors and fans
• Welding equipment
• Boating and marine equipment
• Navigation equipment
• Industrial automation
• Tooling and machinery
• Process control
• Emergency and portable lighting

Bulgin Buccaneer circular connectors have an IP68 ingress protection rating. This means, when mated they are fully sealed from dust and are waterproof. Suitable for use in some of the most challenging environments.

Q - Is there any recommended tooling?
A – Hand crimp tool 841-8715 is recommended for the best results. A Positioning tool is also advised depending on the size of the contact
841-8724 is a positioner for 1A contacts (10 and 12 way connectors)
841-8727 is a positioner for 5A contacts (4.6 and 8-way connectors)
841-8721 is a positioner for 8A contacts (2 and 3-way connectors)
Q – Are there any other accessories available?
A - A threaded dust cap is available for extra protection when the connectors are not in use. See part number 4261-237

Ensure that the correct amperage contact is selected to match the amperage of the corresponding Plug/Socket.

This circular connector is designed for performance in challenging environments. Its miniature design is important for applications that require robust connections while saving space. Resistant to moisture and dust, this product is suitable for industries that demand durability and safety in their connections.

• Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity
• Operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +80°C
• Secure threaded mating type offers stability

• Connecting power in marine environments
• Used in automation and electrical panel connections
• Suitable for outdoor equipment and machinery
• Common in harsh industrial settings

The IP68 rating provides protection against dust and water, making it suitable for submersible applications and thus increasing reliability in outdoor or humid environments.

It accepts cables with an outer diameter range of 3.0mm to 7.0mm, allowing for flexibility in cable thickness for various projects.

Sealing caps are available to maintain the IP68 rating of unmated connectors, ensuring they remain protected when disconnected.

Micro Buccaneer 400

The 400 series provides a compact secure connection where a high level of environmental sealing is required. For applications that require mains or signal transmissions where space is a premium, such as navigation and radar equipment, test equipment, data communications equipment, loggers, telemetry equipment, robotics and metering equipment.
