Let’s look at the factors that influence the cost of Paguro IP68 connectors.

On the market, there are connectors supposed to be IP68, whose cost vary significantly based on several factors:

  • Insulation technology used:

    • Connectors declared IP68 whose operation is based on cable gland grommets of various kinds.
    • Connectors declared IP68 based on sealing resins.
  • Cable sizes and therefore the connector size

  • Certifications

Let’s start by saying that IP68 connectors based on sealing resins generally provide greater insulation security against water and moisture.
Steab, from the beginning, in the design and production of its Paguro series IP68 connectors, has chosen the path of reliability and quality by studying a resin particularly suitable for junction insulation.
The resin developed has high dielectric resistivity, but above all, chemical/physical characteristics that make it unique for elasticity, softness, and viscosity. These characteristics ensure, over time, perfect waterproofing of the connections.
The use of special plastics for the outer casings of the connectors also increases their reliability, durability, and resistance even to UV rays.

Paguro connectors are made with self-extinguishing plastics and are certified by an independent Swedish Certification Body: Intertek SEMKO.

Let’s see what other factors influence the cost of IP68 waterproof connectors in the Paguro Series:

  • Type of connector, related to its size: micro, mini, basic, or maxi.

  • Number of poles.

  • Type of connectors: screw, quick (lever).

  • Maximum operating current.

Indicatively, for standard applications, list prices start from a minimum of 6 euros for 2-pole connectors up to over 50 euros for larger multipolar models.

Obviously, consumer prices depend on quantities. You can purchase directly on these sites: STEAB PAGURO and LAMPADEALLED.IT

For an optimal choice, it is essential to assess the real needs of the application, for example, in terms of cable sizes, number of poles, and current capacity. A quality product, even if more expensive, will pay off over time thanks to its reliability and robustness, avoiding subsequent maintenance interventions, fault finding, short circuits, and current leakage.
