LP16 2-Pin Metal Shell Waterproof Solder Connector

LP16 2-Pin Metal Shell Waterproof Solder Connector – All-Metal 10A Connection with IP68 Sealing

All-metal shell. Two pins. Ten amps. The LP16 2-Pin Metal Shell Waterproof Solder Connector is the all-metal version of our compact 16mm line — the one you pick when the environment is genuinely rough, not just damp. The zinc alloy housing takes impacts that crack plastic. The gold-plated contacts stay stable when it's humid or salty. Solder terminals hold each line tight, and IP68 sealing keeps water out at 2 meters for 24 hours.

LP16 2-Pin Metal Shell Waterproof Solder Connector – Why All-Metal Matters at 16mm

Most compact connectors go plastic because it's cheaper and lighter. The trade-off is impact resistance. Drop a plastic-shell 16mm connector on concrete and you might crack the coupling. The LP16 2-Pin Metal Shell Waterproof Solder Connector uses a zinc alloy shell for exactly that reason. It takes the impact and keeps sealing. The trade-off is weight, and at 16mm that's a small tax — the metal version weighs maybe a few grams more than the plastic one.

The 2-pin layout keeps things simple. One positive, one negative, 1 to 1.5mm² (16 AWG) cable, 7–9mm outer diameter. Solder terminals mean the connection doesn't depend on a crimp tool being calibrated that morning.

Sealed Where Small Metal Connectors Get Used

IP68 at 2 meters for 24 hours. We test every batch, not every tenth one. That matters because this connector ends up on gear that's genuinely exposed — outdoor camera housings, marine instruments, industrial sensor junction boxes, heavy equipment wiring. Places where a plastic connector would crack after a season and a metal one keeps going.

The silicone seal handles the wet side. The metal shell handles the mechanical side. And the keyway keeps the two pins going in the same way every time — no guessing on orientation during installation.

Technical Specifications at a Glance

Where This All-Metal Connector Actually Gets Used

Compact power runs where the environment is rough, not just damp. Outdoor camera housings on construction sites. Marine instruments on deck. Industrial sensor junction boxes. Heavy equipment wiring harnesses. Portable test gear that gets dropped. Agricultural equipment controls. Anywhere you've got two lines going into small gear that gets banged around and wet — and that's where the LP16 2-Pin Metal Shell 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 all-metal instead of metal-plastic?

A: Impact resistance. The metal shell takes hits that crack plastic. If your gear gets banged around — construction sites, marine decks, mobile equipment — go metal. If it lives in a cabinet, the metal-plastic version is lighter and cheaper.

Q: What cable size does it take?

A: 1 to 1.5mm² (16 AWG) with a 7 to 9mm outer diameter. 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.
