Standard plastic connectors just don't hold up if your gear sits outside or gets hosed down all the time. The LP16 7-Pin Male Female waterproof connector (Metal Solder) from Cablein Technology is built to handle these exact conditions. It features a full metal shell and 7-pin solder joints. Rated IP68, it manages 5A at 250V and seals cables from 7 to 9 mm. This keeps moisture out while securing your power and signal lines.

Full Metal Shell
Plastic housings wear down and crack over time. This LP16 uses a robust metal shell that absorbs impact and handles high heat. The metal also blocks electromagnetic interference, which is a major plus if you are routing cables inside crowded control cabinets.
7-Pin Solder Termination
We chose a solder design because it provides lower contact resistance than screw terminals. Yes, it takes a little longer to wire, but the joint is highly secure. Once soldered, the connection won't shake loose, even under heavy machine vibration. Seven pins give you plenty of room for mixed power and signal wires.
IP68 Rating with 7-9mm Sealing
Thick cables often break the seal on cheaper connectors. Our silicone ring is specifically sized for 7-9 mm outer diameters. When you tighten the threaded coupling, it compresses properly. This maintains the IP68 protection even if the cable is pulled or exposed to heavy rain.
Threaded Locking Mechanism
Push-pull connectors can easily disconnect on moving machinery. This model uses a threaded coupling to keep the male and female halves locked together. They stay securely mated until you intentionally unscrew them.

Real-World Applications You Can Count On
Industrial Control Panels
When running cables between heavy machines, this LP16 7-Pin Male Female Waterproof Connector (Metal Solder) is what you want in place. Thanks to the IP68 seal, damp air on the factory floor won't get inside and fry your electronics.
Outdoor Lighting and Signage
Outdoor lights always have to deal with rain and crazy temperature changes. But because this connector runs fine anywhere from -40°C to +85°C, it won't give you power issues whether it's freezing in January or baking in July.
Food Processing Lines
Washdowns are unavoidable in food plants. Standard plastic plugs get brittle and crack. The metal housing on this LP16 handles cleaning chemicals much better, giving you a longer service life.
Marine and Dockside
Salt spray eats away at cheap connectors fast. The sealed design and threaded lock give you solid protection against corrosion on dockside equipment.
Automotive Test Rigs
When testing vehicles, you have vibration and moisture everywhere. Solder joints and threaded locks make this connector a reliable choice for these temporary setups.
Before anything leaves our factory, it goes through strict ISO9001:2015 checks. We don't just test the electrical specs; we actually dunk the connectors in water to confirm the IP68 seal holds up at the 7-9mm cable range. We also pull on the solder joints and check the threads. It means the LP16 7-Pin Male Female Waterproof Connector (Metal Solder) you get is ready to be installed without extra fuss.

Q: Can I get this connector with a different number of pins?
A: Yes, we make them in 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 pin versions. Let us know what your application needs.
Q: Will my cable fit?
A: As long as your cable's outer diameter is between 7 mm and 9 mm, the standard sealing ring will work perfectly.
Q: Can I test one before placing a big order?
A: Absolutely. We highly recommend getting a sample first. You can check the fit and the seal on your actual cable before committing to a full run.
Q: Do I need to ground the metal housing?
A: If your equipment requires shielding or earth continuity, yes, you should ground the metal components.
