The latest additions to the GatorMate line of products are the 2 and 3-pin GT Series of rugged connectors. The connectors are fully molded, eliminating the need to purchase expensive crimping tools and reducing the labor required to assemble former field-wire versions. With the addition of the 5JGT DIN to the Deutsch adapter, any solenoid valve DIN connection can easily convert to the Deutsch-style connection.
The rugged GT Series is an all-in-one molded connector assembly proven to work in the harshest environments with an IP67 rating resistant to dust, vibration, shock, and moisture. The connectors are over-molded to enhance connection performance and ensure that high stress or vibration will not cause unintentional disconnection.
Many Deutsch connectors require multiple steps and tools for installation, but the series allows smaller OEMs to use Deutsch-style connectors without having to purchase special crimping tools and supplies that are usually required. The smaller size, improved environmental sealing, and push-to-lock connection are an improvement over the DIN-style solenoid valve plugs.
Each 2 and 3-pin GT Connector can be highly customized to include various media compatibility or high-flex, special use, or high-temperature cable. An optional LED indicator light and MOV or diode surge protection are also available.
The interconnection properties of this design lend themselves to mobile applications such as:
- Mobile equipment
- Heavy machinery and commercial vehicles
- Industrial environments such as manufacturing and automation
- Agricultural equipment
- Hydraulic valves
The GT Series is designed and manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 standards in Youngstown, Ohio. Each device passes through a rigorous and extensive testing process to ensure reliable performance.
