    Multipurpose Build-Your-Own Latching Connectors

    Image of System. Front orientation. Exploded view. Contains Annotated. Latching Connectors. Multipurpose Build-Your-Own Latching Connectors.
    Combine power, USB, computer, and compressed air inserts to build a connector that sends signal, power, and data. A complete connector requires a hood, a base, two frames, and a male and female insert for each slot in the frame. The frames fit into the hood and base, and the inserts snap into the frame. Select components based on the number of slots needed. Once assembled, connectors are rated NEMA 4X, 12, and IP65 for protection against dirt, washdowns, and oil/coolant dripping.
