Be sure to tighten the lock nut after mating (hear "click" sound or turn back half a circle after tightening to avoid thread slipping), ensure the sealing ring is fully compressed to achieve IP67 protection.
Add dust caps to plugs/sockets in non-use state to physically isolate dust and water vapor, prevent foreign matter from entering the port and affecting contact performance.
Route cables with connector ports facing down/horizontal to avoid rainwater/dust accumulation; add extra waterproof sheath for outdoor use to enhance protection level.
Technical Note: The lock nut tightening operation is the core of ensuring IP67 protection; the dust cap and wiring layout optimization are auxiliary measures to extend the service life of the connector, especially important for outdoor/harsh environment applications.
