LP16 2-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector

LP16 2-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector – 10A Compact Connection with IP68 Sealing

Two pins. Ten amps. IP68. The LP16 2-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector is what you reach for when the equipment is small, the environment is wet, and you don't need fifty amps of headroom. Metal where the thread takes the wear, plastic everywhere else to keep the weight down. Soldered terminals that don't work loose on a machine that shakes.

LP16 2-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector – Where M16 Fits and Bigger Connectors Don't

The 16mm shell is the point here. On compact gear — sensors, small actuators, LED fixture controllers, medical instruments — a 24mm or 28mm connector physically won't fit. The LP16 2-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector gives you a sealed connection in a footprint that actually goes where it's needed. Cable entry takes 1 to 1.5mm² (16 AWG) wire with a 7–9mm outer diameter.

The metal-plastic hybrid shell is a deliberate pick. All-metal would add weight and cost for no gain on a 10A connection. All-plastic would crack when someone cranks the coupling down too hard. You get the tough thread and a lighter shell out of that hybrid setup. Solder terminals keep each line in place. The silicone seal does the IP68 part — 2 meters, 24 hours.

Sealed Where Compact Equipment Actually Lives

IP68 isn't a marketing checkbox on this one. 2 meters, 24 hours — that's our test spec. Compact gear ends up in tight wet spots: outdoor camera housings, valve actuators, packaging machines that get washdown, marine instruments. That's where this one lives. The gold-plated contacts don't mind humid or salty air. And the keyway means the two pins go in the same way every time — no guessing.

Technical Specifications at a Glance

Where This 2-Pin Connector Actually Gets Used

Compact power runs in wet environments. Outdoor camera housings. Valve actuators. Small LED drivers. Medical instruments. Packaging machine sensors. Marine electronics. Garden and landscape equipment. Anywhere you've got two lines going into small gear that gets wet — and that's where the LP16 2-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector ends up.

Every batch gets a dielectric test and a waterproof check. Solder joints get pull-tested, not just eyeballed. It costs us time. It saves you callbacks.

Quality Control and Certifications

The LP16 series carries TUV, CE, and RoHS. We run ISO9001:2015, so material sourcing is consistent and production records are traceable. And the quality system actually gets audited — not just claimed.

Quick Questions We Get Asked

Q: Why metal-plastic instead of all-metal?

A: Weight and cost. At 10A you don't need the extra shielding or mechanical strength an all-metal shell provides. The hybrid keeps the durable coupling thread and drops the rest.

Q: What cable size does it take?

A: 1 to 1.5mm² (16 AWG) with a 7 to 9mm outer diameter. Signal and light power class.

Q: Can it stay submerged?

A: Yes. IP68 covers continuous immersion. We test at 2 meters for 24 hours.

Q: Is there a panel-mount version?

A: Yes. Same LP16 series, same 2-pin layout — just a flange or panel cutout instead of an inline shell. Talk to us if you need it.
