Souriau WME connector, the new industrial connector. Souriau presents the new WME connector, the first EN16330 approved connector for superstructures on vehicles and machines. The aim of this European standard is to ensure mating compatibility and safe interchangeability on bodies inside or outside vehicles and work machines. This includes cleaning vehicles, mining machines, snow plows and agricultural machines. WME connectors are UV-resistant, rugged, waterproof and resistant to acids, oil and gases. The WME connector series includes plugs, mounting flanges, protective caps and accessories. A self-closing cap with additional locking mechanism protects during vibration. WME connectors are easy to grip and can therefore be closed even when wearing gloves. A distinction is made between WME1 and WME2 connectors. WME1 connectors are waterproof according to IP68/69K, suitable for temperature ranges from -30 to 85ºC and are preferably used in vehicle exteriors. WME2 connectors have been classified as flame retardant and fire safety class V-O according to the UL94 standard and are mainly used inside vehicles.
