MATelec FCN-16245 Brass IP68 3 Pole 32A 240Vac Cable Connector

Sealed cable terminations in submerged or washdown environments require a connector that provides IP68 integrity while providing electrical continuity, and the FCN-16245 addresses this with a 3-pole configuration rated at 32 Amps and 240 Vac. The connector body uses nickel plated brass for the contact elements, with a PA66 UL 94 V2 tube and gland housing, a silicone gasket for environmental sealing, and a TPE-V grommet that compresses around the cable to prevent water ingress at the cable entry point.

Cable sizing for the 3-pole FCN-16245 accepts conductors with an outer diameter between 3.7 mm and 8.1 mm, and the grommet compresses to form a watertight seal across this range. The connector dimensions measure 25 mm in diameter (A dimension), 67.5 mm in length (B dimension), and 30 mm in width (C dimension). Zinc passivated steel screws secure the assembly and provide corrosion resistance in wet environments where IP68 rated connectors are specified.

Temperature rating for the FCN-16245 is 85°C, and the IP68 protection rating confirms the connector is suitable for continuous immersion at the depths encountered in typical water and wastewater installations. The nickel plated brass contact elements provide low resistance connection paths for the 32 Amp current rating at 240 Vac, and the silicone gasket retains its sealing properties across the operating temperature range.
