In harsh environments, Bulgin's high-standard products remain the preferred choice in engineering, with their IP68/IP69K protection performance and a wide range of series providing international quality assurance. However, domestically produced connectors are increasingly narrowing the gap with international standards, thanks to their cost advantage, local service response, and continuous technological improvement, particularly showcasing significant advantages in terms of cost-performance, supply speed, and project flexibility.
Bulgin connector is strictly positioned in international standardsBulgin's Buccaneer series connectors are renowned in the industry for their excellent protective performance and a wide range of protection levels:
●Standard Buccaneer series, as a common waterproof circular power connector in the industry, can reach IP68 and IP69K levels, and is the gold standard for dust and water protection, widely used in industrial, automotive, marine and other scenarios.
●4000 Series Buccaneer is the most compact circular connector to date, using Valox material and a quick bayonet locking structure, supporting IP66, IP67, IP68, and IP69K levels, suitable for systems with limited space but requiring high sealing.
The 7000 Series Buccaneer features a plastic or metal structural design, with a quick lock mechanism combined with a robust structure to meet reliable sealing requirements at IP66, IP68, and IP69K levels, suitable for multi-point, high current demands (up to 25A, 600V).
In addition, Bulgin's data connectors, such as the standard USB Buccaneer products, have also passed IP68 and IP69K protection level certifications, supporting USB 2.0/3.0 and other standards, with strong anti-interference ability and high-speed performance.
Part Two: Development and Comparison of the Domestic Connector Standard SystemIn recent years, domestic connector manufacturers have actively aligned with the above international standards, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Protection level is continuously improving
Most domestic products have achieved IP67 or higher ratings, gradually approaching Bulgin's IP68/IP69K standards in dust and water resistance.
2. Structural and locking methods are becoming more diverse.
Quick lock clips, threaded locking, and sealing washers and various structural forms are developing in coordination, meeting the sealing requirements of different installation scenarios and gradually adapting to rigorous industrial standards.
3. Performance parameters align with international systems
Domestic high-end connector products now support transmission capabilities of up to 25A or more, and have passed stability, corrosion resistance and other tests, moving towards international certification.
4. Certification and local service synchronization and improvement
Domestic manufacturers are gradually filling in the certification systems such as ISO, UL, and CE, while also providing more flexible prototypes and selection support, enhancing the overall response efficiency of projects.
Looking forward, with the improvement of the certification system and the advancement of design technology, domestic connectors will replace imported products in more mid-to-high-end application scenarios and open up a broader market space.
