Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about 12 pole facial seal and connector interface seal applications
A 12 pole facial seal is a connector interface seal that seals the mating face between two connector halves. This silicone facial seal provides IP67 IP68 waterproof protection for automotive connector applications requiring temperatures from -55°C to +200°C.
A facial seal (connector interface seal) seals the mating face between connector halves, while a connector seal seals around individual wires. Both provide IP67 IP68 protection but facial seals are used at the connector interface for additional environmental protection.
Silicone facial seals achieve IP67 IP68 waterproof protection ratings when properly installed. IP67 provides dust-tight and temporary water immersion protection. IP68 provides continuous immersion protection for connector interface seal applications.
High temperature silicone facial seals are used in ECU connector interface seal, sensor connector face seal, EV connector facial seal, and applications where operating temperatures exceed 120°C or UV/ozone resistance is required at the connector mating interface.
