Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GX16 and GX20?

GX16 has a 16 mm outer shell diameter and is available in 2--10 core versions. GX20 has a 20 mm shell diameter, supporting up to 16 cores with larger contact spacing, suitable for slightly higher current or pin-count requirements. Choose GX16 for compact installations and GX20 where more pins or higher current are needed.

Are these connectors suitable for outdoor or marine (non-submerged) use?

Yes. The IP65 rating means they are protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making them suitable for outdoor, marine deck, and equipment enclosure applications. For fully submerged use, please see our SubConn-compatible and deep-rated underwater connectors.

Can I order a custom pin count not listed above?

Standard GX16/GX20 cores are 2--16. For non-standard configurations or higher current contacts, contact us and we will advise on the best connector family for your requirements.
