The role of connectors in water technology

In recent years, a rising population and high agricultural usage have led to water becoming an increasingly precious commodity, which in turn has seen a shift to innovative technology to increase efficiency and reduce wastage. 

Increased investment in the water industry has led to the development of intelligent monitoring equipment, allowing authorities to better highlight where improvements can be made, minimising losses, and regulating usage in particular areas. However, to be effective, these systems need to be robustly waterproofed and secured against even the harshest environmental conditions.

Even more challengingly, specialist electronic equipment is often required for underwater and pipeline exploration, which rely on robust robotic technology to provide analysis and aid the exploration of underwater locations. In these circumstances, the risk of ingress is extremely high, as well as the damage that can be done by extreme pressure - all of which can lead to major disruption.

This is why it is incredibly important that suitable connector systems are incorporated into the design of these technologies. Connectors that are suitable for water technology usage need to be rugged and waterproof, offering IP67, IP68, and IP69k ingress protection in both mated and unmated state. Only by doing so can they offer the level of performance that the industry requires.
