Insulation displacement connection
An insulation displacement contact establishes a connection
by cutting through the conductor insulation. It makes a exible,
shockproof, vibration proof, gas tight contact with the litz wire.
In type code STE-1204-GQU6 the insulation displacement
connection is identied by the sux “QU”.

IP enclosure ratings
The IP enclosure ratings dene the degree of protection
(ingress protection) aorded by the housing against contact,
foreign bodies, and water. The rst number indicates protec-
tion against contact and foreign bodies; the second number is
for protection against water.
IP65
Protected against access by wire; dustproof; protection against
water jets from any angle.
IP66K
Protected against access by wire; dustproof; protection against
strong high-velocity water with increased pressure.
IP67
Protected against access by wire; dustproof; protection against
temporary immersion in water (depth of 1 m, 30 minutes).
IP68
Protected against access by wire; dustproof; protection against
lengthy immersion in water (the requirements must be higher
than IP67).
IP69K
Protected against access by wire; dustproof; protection against
water during high pressure cleaning and steam cleaning
(100 bar at 80 °C) from a variety of angles.
Important note
Up to enclosure rating IPX6, the lower enclosure ratings are
also fullled. With the higher enclosure ratings this does not
automatically apply to the water protection grades 7, 8, and
9K. If a lower enclosure rating needs to be included this is
stated using a double code.
M
Material compatibility
If dierent materials are used in a product, e.g., PVC cables
overmolded with PUR, it is important to consider material com-
patibility. We recommend testing cables before laying them to
check material compatibility.
