Environmental Protection Levels and
SEALINGCOMPATIBILITY
End user expectations are reasonable: that connector sealing technology actually meet the requirements of the application SuperSeal ™ is a Glenair series of field RJ45, USB, and HDMI-compatible connectors with IP67 open-face sealing for complete system protection against water, sand and dust. Unlike commercial-grade equivalents, SuperSeal does not rely on commodity unsealed connector inserts, and augments open-face sealing with rear sealing grommets and potting to reliably prevent moisture and fluid ingress into critical electronic equipment. 1 Wire termination zone sealing is equally important as interfacial sealing. The Glenair Series 806 Mil-Aero utilizes a “triple ripple” wire grommet seal as well as a cork-and-bottle interfacial seal, and an internal O-ring peripheral seal to ensure robust environmental sealing, even during 75,000 ft. altitude immersion testing. 2

Managing leak paths in high-pressure applications requires design disciplines with built- in redundancy. SeaKing is a dry-mate connector series fully tested to 15,000 PSI (open face and mated), and equipped with integrated dual O-ring seals, galling-resistant marine bronze coupling nuts, corrosion-resistant stainless steel shells, and high-pressure glass-to-metal seal contact inserts.
