Manufacturer Profile - Sure-Seal®
A low-profile, resilient and rugged construction, with multiple moisture seals makes the Sure-Seal connector a natural choice for outdoor applications where contaminants are a concern. Only two parts are required to complete a Sure-Seal® connector: the connector body and the contacts. Sure-Seal® was developed to address Department of Transportation safety regulations for automotive connectors. Sure-Seal® is ideal for a range of environmental applications where a small, low-cost connector is needed. These sealed connectors meet or exceed DOT requirements for shock, vibration, temperature cycling, salt water spray and immersion, petroleum derivatives, and industrial gas while insuring low milli-volt drop and low contact resistance. Sure-Seal connectors are excellent for motorcycles, automobiles, boats, and demanding off-road vehicles.
- Low Installed Cost: One piece molded bodies and crimp contacts provide a low cost solution. In addition, these connectors can be easily terminated by the user.
- Water Submersible: Not just splash-proof, but truly submersible for short periods of time. Sure-Seal® will seal to the requirements of IP67 and DIN 400 50.
- Resistant to Automotive/Industrial Environments: Sure-Seal® will operate in temperatures from -40°F to +221°F under conditions of high humidity, severe vibration, ice and mud. Sealing integrity is maintained with exposure to brake fluid, gasoline, diesel fuel, antifreeze, ultraviolet, ozone, and steam.
- Wide Range of Wire Gauges and Current Carrying Capability: Up to 85 amps with wire gauges from size 20 up to size 4 AWG wire.
- One-Piece Connector: Sure-Seal® has a simple one-piece molded body. No other parts (other than contacts) are required. Bodies mate using multiple resilient seals and will remain mated even under severe vibration and shock.
- Field Serviceable: The use of removable crimp contacts allows Sure-Seal® connections to be changed or modified in the field if necessary.
- Polarized Against Mis-mates: Connector halves use both pin and socket contacts. The plug and receptacle must be properly oriented for the connectors to mate. Raised indexing ribs in conjunction with a stepped plane allow blind mating of the connector halves even in dark or cramped spaces.
- Three Sure-Seal® Versions: Sure-Seal® is available in three versions. The basic Sure-Seal® line is the broadest and ideal for most applications. Mini-Sure-Seal® provides a slightly smaller connector in a limited range of configurations. Power Sure-Seal® is for single circuit, high power applications.
