The Standard Vitalis Buccaneer includes the parameters of the Standard Buccaneer, with up to 86% bio-based content
Bulgin, a manufacturer of environmentally sealed connectors and components, has launched a new range of sustainable connectors. The Standard Vitalis Buccaneer range of waterproof connectors is a bio-based alternative to the Standard Buccaneer
The Standard Vitalis Buccaneer includes the parameters of the Standard Buccaneer, with up to 86% bio-based content. These connectors can deliver power ratings up to 12A and 277V AC/DC in configurations from two to 25 contacts, with the choice of body styles including flex cable, incline cable, front panel mount, rear panel mount, PCB mount, bulkhead and flange mount. IP68 and IP69K environmental sealing make them suitable for applications across industrial, automotive and marine sectors.
Two new plastics were selected to replace existing materials, combining mechanical performance with more sustainable materials to improve the Standard Buccaneer’s eco-credentials while ensuring no compromise in performance. The packaging for Standard Vitalis Buccaneer connectors is comprised of polyethylene and a bio-additive, making it fully biodegradable.
German Casillas, managing director at Bulgin, said, “We’re incredibly proud of the new Standard Vitalis Buccaneer range, which really exemplifies the company’s direction in creating more sustainable technologies. We set out to launch a product that puts the environment front and centre, without compromising on the strength, reliability and durability our customers expect from us. After years of development, we’re excited to share that we’ve accomplished this feat, and we look forward to continuing our journey to a more sustainable future.”
