Features and Benefits

As the trend toward miniaturization continues to accelerate, compact connector solutions are essential for managing limited space. The Squba 1.80 and 3.60mm-pitch sealed connector system rises to the challenge, offering a space-efficient design tailored for applications where real estate is at a premium.

Higher currents lead to the use of thicker wires, increasing product size and production cost for manufacturers of consumer devices. Squba Connectors alleviate these pain points by accommodating up to 14.0A with 26 to 16 AWG wire. With built-in sealed cavity plugs, these connectors enable designers to instantly reconfigure the number of active circuits needed without waiting for new housing development or purchasing new parts. This minimizes delays and expenses, making Squba Connectors an ideal choice for performance and cost savings.

Exposure to moisture poses a risk to the integrity of unsealed connectors. The Squba sealed connector system offers a robust solution with its UL-approved, IP68-rated seals and protective seal caps, ensuring consistent and reliable performance even in damp environments. In addition, the connectors’ caps aid in terminal insertion, shielding the seal from potential damage during the assembly process. Intentionally designed for durability, Squba sealed caps contribute to the longevity of application products.

Color-Coded, Mechanically Keyed​ Options

To avoid electrical damage and device malfunctions, Squba Connectors are color coded and mechanically keyed to improve overall efficiency and reliability. These connectors accelerate production by helping prevent connector mis-mating.
