LP16 5-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector – Compact Five-Pole Connection with IP68 Sealing
Five pins in a 16mm shell. Metal-plastic housing. The LP16 5-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector gives you five lines in a footprint that fits where larger connectors won't — and the hybrid shell keeps the weight down without giving up the durable coupling thread. Solder terminals hold each line tight. IP68 sealing keeps water out at 2 meters for 24 hours.
LP16 5-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector – Why Five Pins, Why Metal-Plastic
Five-pin setups are where compact gear starts to get crowded. Three-phase plus PE on a small motor. Four signal lines plus a ground. Power plus multiple control lines in one cable. The LP16 5-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector handles that in a 16mm shell that fits into the same cutouts as our 2-pin and 3-pin versions. Pin density goes up; external footprint doesn't.
The metal-plastic housing is a deliberate compromise. All-metal would add cost and weight without real gain at 5A. All-plastic would crack when the coupling gets cranked down. The hybrid keeps the zinc alloy thread where the wear happens and drops the rest. Cable entry takes 0.5mm² (20 AWG) wire — signal and light power class.
Sealed Where Compact Five-Pin Gear Actually Gets Used
IP68 at 2 meters for 24 hours. Tested on every batch. The silicone seal handles the wet side, and the keyway keeps all five pins going in the right orientation. We've seen these on industrial sensor clusters with multiple signal lines, outdoor camera arrays, medical cart wiring, and portable test instruments where five lines have to reach one small housing.
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.

Where This 5-Pin Connector Actually Gets Used
Five-line runs in small gear. Industrial sensor clusters with multiple signal lines. Outdoor camera arrays. Medical cart wiring. Portable test instruments. Small three-phase motors with ground. LED lighting fixtures with dimming and control lines. Anywhere you've got five lines going into small gear that gets wet — and that's where the LP16 5-Pin Metal-Plastic Waterproof Solder Connector ends up.
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 five pins instead of four?
A: Five lines. Three-phase plus PE. Or four signal lines plus a ground. Or power plus multiple control lines. When four pins feels tight, five gets you there without jumping to a bigger shell.
Q: Why metal-plastic instead of all-metal?
A: Weight and cost. At 5A per pin, all-metal is overkill unless the environment is genuinely brutal. The hybrid keeps the durable coupling thread and drops the rest.
Q: What cable size does it take?
A: 0.5mm² (20 AWG) with a 7 to 9mm outer diameter for power, or 4 to 6.5mm for signal cable.
Q: Can it stay submerged?
A: Yes. IP68 covers continuous immersion. We test at 2 meters for 24 hours.
