Bulgin PXP7012/06S/ST 7000 Series Buccaneer 6 Pole Panel Mount Socket

The Bulgin PXP7012/06S/ST is a sealed circular panel mount connector from the 7000 Series Buccaneer range, designed to provide secure power and signal connections in demanding industrial, outdoor and marine environments. The connector combines a rapid quarter-turn locking mechanism with proven environmental sealing, ensuring reliable performance where protection against dust and water ingress is essential.

This connector features 6 socket contacts with screw terminal termination and is designed for front panel mounting applications. The quick-lock coupling mechanism provides secure mating with positive feedback, helping ensure correct connection and environmental sealing. It mates with compatible PXP7010 flex cable and PXP7011 inline cable connectors.

Its robust thermoplastic construction, high ingress protection ratings and 6-contact configuration make it suitable for industrial control, power distribution and signal interconnection applications in harsh operating environments.
