Bulgin PXP7012/10S/CR 7000 Series Buccaneer 10 Pole Panel Mount Socket

The Bulgin PXP7012/10S/CR 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 10 socket contacts and is designed for front panel mounting applications. Contacts are supplied separately, allowing compatible crimp or solder contacts to be selected to suit specific application requirements. 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 compact multi-contact design make it ideal for instrumentation, control and signal interconnection applications in harsh operating environments.
