I
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 identied by the sux “QU”.

IP enclosure ratings
The IP enclosure ratings dene the degree of protection
(ingress protection) aorded 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 fullled. 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 dierent 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.
