SP13 Waterproof Connector for HD Security Camera Systems

SD13/SP13 Durable Flange Connector Dimensions and Materials

SP13 Waterproof Connector for HD Security Camera Systems

The SP13 connector is a circular, IP67-rated interconnect designed for HD security camera systems, PTZ cameras, and outdoor surveillance equipment. It provides a durable, dustproof, and waterproof connection for reliable signal transmission in demanding environments.

Key Selection Criteria for the SP13 Connector

When evaluating the SP13 for your surveillance project, consider these decision points:

• Pin Configuration: Available in 2 to 9 pin options, with male and female gender variants to match your cable and panel requirements.
• Environmental Protection: The IP67 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and temporary water immersion, making it suitable for outdoor camera housings and junction boxes.
• Material Compatibility: The PC/PA66 housing and PPS insulator provide mechanical strength and thermal stability, while gold-plated brass contacts support consistent signal integrity.
• Temperature Range: Rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, the connector is suited for climates with wide seasonal temperature swings.

Application Fit for Surveillance Installations

The SP13 is intended for fixed and PTZ security cameras that require a sealed, field-serviceable connection point. Its circular locking design helps maintain a stable connection in installations subject to vibration, such as poles, walls, and traffic monitoring gantries.

For indoor, non-weatherproof applications, a standard circular connector without an IP rating may be more cost-effective. For underwater or continuous submersion scenarios, verify whether a higher IP rating is required for your specific installation.

Structural and Material Notes

The connector uses a PC/PA66 housing for impact resistance and a PPS insulator for electrical insulation. The gold-plated brass contacts are intended to resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over repeated mating cycles. The locking system is designed for secure engagement, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection.

Confirm the exact locking mechanism and mating torque with the technical drawing before finalizing your panel layout.

Suitable and Unsuitable Use Cases

Suitable: Outdoor CCTV cameras, PTZ camera systems, and security monitoring equipment where water and dust ingress are a concern.

Unsuitable: Applications requiring continuous submersion beyond IP67 conditions, high-vibration industrial robotics without additional strain relief, or installations needing a metal-shell connector for enhanced EMI shielding.

Installation and Mating Considerations

Before ordering, verify the following to ensure correct mating and installation:

• Cable outer diameter and conductor gauge for the chosen pin count.
• Whether a panel-mount socket or cable-mount plug is required for your housing design.
• Required pinout and wiring diagram for your camera's signal and power lines.
• Available space for the connector's mating depth and cable bend radius.
