The part number **PXM6010/03S/ST** refers to a high-performance, industrial-grade circular connector from the **Bulgin 6000 Series**. These connectors are designed for harsh environments where moisture, dust, and physical stress are prevalent. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the core electronic and mechanical characteristics of this specific component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | Buccaneer 6000 Series | | **Coupling Type** | 30-degree twist lock (Instant patch) | | **Contact Type** | 3 Pole (3 Pins) | | **Gender** | Socket (Female Contacts) | | **Termination** | Screw Terminal | | **Current Rating** | Up to 16A | | **Voltage Rating** | 277V AC/DC | | **Ingress Protection** | IP66, IP67, IP68, and IP69K (Mated) | | **Body Material** | Metal (Zinc Alloy, Nickel Plated) | --- ### 2. Component Breakdown The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the build of the part: * **PXM6010**: Indicates the **Front Panel Mount** version of the 6000 Series metal body connector. * **03S**: Specifies that the insert has **3 Slots/Sockets** (Female contacts). * **ST**: Confirms that the internal wiring is handled via **Screw Terminals**, meaning no specialized crimping tool is required for installation. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Safety Isolation:** The internal carrier is made of flame-retardant (UL94V-0) thermo-plastic to prevent arcing and ensure user safety. * **EMI Shielding:** Because this is the **PXM** (Metal) variant rather than the PXP (Plastic) variant, the nickel-plated zinc alloy body provides superior electromagnetic interference shielding. * **Secure Connection:** The "Push-Pull" mechanism combined with a 30-degree twist ensures that the connection cannot be broken by accidental tugging or vibration. --- ### 4. Common Applications Due to its rugged construction and high IP rating, this part is typically used in: 1. **Industrial Automation:** Sensor connections and power distribution on factory floors. 2. **Marine Equipment:** Navigation systems and deck power due to corrosion resistance. 3. **External Lighting:** Stage lighting and architectural LEDs exposed to rain. 4. **Renewable Energy:** Control panels for wind turbines or solar arrays.
