NK4HSFWHY

Panduit Corp introduces the NK4HSFWHY as a game-changing Keystone - Faceplates, Frames solution for marine electronics. Engineered to withstand saltwater corrosion and constant vibration, this product delivers reliable performance in harsh maritime environments from commercial shipping to offshore oil platforms.The Single Gang architecture incorporates pressurized nitrogen chambers for humidity control. This innovative design provides 50% better corrosion protection than standard conformal coatings.As a Faceplate, this unit features palladium-nickel contacts that resist sulfide tarnishing. When subjected to salt fog testing per ASTM B117, it maintains contact integrity beyond 5,000 hours.Featuring 4 ports, the configuration supports integrated bridge systems. The galvanically isolated channels prevent ground loops in sensitive navigation equipment.The Angled/Sloped orientation was validated through wave impact simulations. This rugged design prevents water ingress even during green water deck events.The White housing employs chalking-resistant polymers that maintain visibility in direct sunlight. This specialized formulation meets IMO visibility requirements for shipboard equipment.Including Label Cover/Holder with Labels, the solution addresses unique marine challenges. The integrated cathodic protection terminals prevent galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal installations.Certified for interoperability with NetKey® Series, it meets DNV GL standards for marine applications. The solution is qualified for both above-deck and hazardous area installations.The 2.748" (69.80mm) dimension reflects optimization for standard marine cabinet mounting. This space-efficient design maximizes equipment density in confined engine rooms.4.500" (114.30mm) width specification ensures proper airflow in tropical conditions. The design incorporates condensation channels that direct moisture away from critical components.With 0.965" (24.50mm) depth, the profile accommodates explosion-proof conduits without modification. This ATEX-compliant design simplifies installation in classified zones.Manufactured from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), the housing demonstrates exceptional resistance to biofouling. Material testing confirms 20-year service life in continuous saltwater exposure.
