Bulgin has introduced 6000 Series rugged, hybrid circular connectors that combine power and signal contacts in a single compact interface for space-constrained applications, such as test and measurement equipment, sensors and control systems, and more.

“Modern design demands a smaller footprint without compromising performance,” said Mark Berry, VP of Product & Portfolio Management at Infinite Electronics. “The 6000 Series Hybrid Buccaneer is a testament to our team’s engineering precision. We successfully integrated high-current power and signal channels into one sealed interface, giving designers a streamlined solution that withstands tough environments.”

The 6000 Series Hybrid Buccaneer features two central power contacts rated at 16A, alongside 3A signal contacts. Three configurations with two, four or six signal contacts give designers flexibility to meet specific application requirements. By combining power and signal in a single housing, the connectors reduce space requirements and eliminate the need for separate power and signal cable routing.

The new range retains the proven design and rugged performance of Bulgin’s existing 6000 Series Buccaneer circular connectors, including the same 30-degree push/pull locking mechanism and panel-mount options. The connectors are IP68-rated and have been tested at a depth of 10 meters for two weeks, providing reliable protection in demanding environments.
