Bulgin 6000 Hybrid Buccaneer Circular Connectors

Introduction

Bulgin 6000 Hybrid Buccaneer circular connectors are rugged interconnect solutions designed to carry both power and low-voltage signals through one environmentally sealed connection. The PXP6070, PXP6071, PXP6072, and PXP6074 connector range helps simplify equipment wiring where reliability, compact installation, and outdoor protection are important.

Part Description

The Bulgin 6000 Hybrid Buccaneer series combines dedicated power and signal contacts within a durable circular connector housing. Each connector includes two power contacts rated for up to 16 A and 600 V, along with configurations containing two, four, or six signal contacts rated for up to 3 A and 60 V.

A push/pull coupling mechanism supports fast, secure mating and unmating without requiring threaded installation. When mated, these connectors provide IP66/IP68 environmental protection, helping safeguard electrical connections against dust ingress and water exposure. This hybrid arrangement can reduce cable complexity by allowing power, control, sensor, or communication signals to share a single connector interface.

Key characteristics include:

• Hybrid circular connector design for combined power and signal wiring
• Two power contacts rated up to 16 A and 600 V
• Two, four, or six signal contacts rated up to 3 A and 60 V
• Push/pull coupling for convenient connection
• IP66/IP68 protection when mated
• Rugged housing suited to demanding environments
• Product codes: PXP6070, PXP6071, PXP6072, and PXP6074
