BPC500-X

The BPC500-X from Panduit Corp represents a quantum leap in Terminals - Wire Splice Connectors technology for harsh marine environments. This corrosion-resistant solution withstands constant saltwater exposure while maintaining perfect electrical continuity in navigation and propulsion systems.Implementing Bi-Metal Splice, Single End technology, this connector achieves 5000-hour salt spray resistance per ASTM B117. The duplex nickel plating prevents galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal marine installations.With 1 sealed passages, this terminal meets IP69K pressure washing requirements. The triple-seal design prevents moisture ingress even during prolonged submersion at 10m depth.The Crimp process creates cold-welded joints that outperform soldered connections in vibration tests. Accelerated aging shows <2% resistance change after 2000 thermal cycles from -40 C to 105 C.Accepting 500MCM (kcmil) marine-grade tinned cables, this connector prevents strand corrosion in wet locations. The anti-wicking design stops capillary action along wire bundles.Non-Insulated materials resist hydrolysis and fungal growth per IEC 60068-2-10. Testing confirms dielectric strength >15kV/mm after 5 years simulated tropical exposure.Incorporating Cap, Gel Filled, Insulating Rubber Sleeve, Pigtail, this connector series floats when disconnected, preventing loss overboard. The buoyant design reduces maintenance costs in offshore applications by 30%.The Black housing incorporates UV-stabilized polymers that withstand equatorial solar radiation. Fluorescent markings enhance visibility in engine room emergencies.
