Unlock New Capabilities

• Past Projects (Prerequisites) If you've already experimented with standard indoor connectors like JST or barrel jacks on your breadboards and basic enclosures, you already understand how to route power and signals — which means you're perfectly ready to upgrade to environmentally sealed industrial connections.
• Feature Upgrade (What This Unlocks) This SD13 waterproof connector unlocks true outdoor and industrial reliability. It allows you to build weatherproof solar panel wiring runs, exterior CCTV power supplies, sealed automotive lighting systems, and ruggedized sensor enclosures that can survive rain, dust, and heavy vibration.
• Effort Level: Intermediate (Requires soldering)

Minimum hardware to get started:

• Hookup wire or multicore cable (up to 6.5mm OD): to carry your power or signal; ensure the wire gauge is appropriately rated if you plan to push the full 10A limit.
• Soldering iron & solder: the SD13 uses solder cup terminations, meaning wires must be physically soldered to the brass pins to create a secure, high-current electrical connection.
• Drill with a 13mm bit: to cut the exact panel-mounting hole required to secure the female socket to your project enclosure.
• Heat shrink tubing: to insulate the individual soldered joints inside the connector shell and prevent internal shorts.

Package Includes:

• 1 x SD13 2PIN 10A Waterproof Panel Mount Aviation Male Plug+Female Socket IP68

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the SD13 2-pin connector compatible with AC voltage?
  Yes, the connector is rated for up to 380V (AC, DC, or RMS).
• Can I use this connector for low-voltage sensor signals?
  Absolutely, it works perfectly for 5V, 12V, or 24V low-voltage DC signals and power lines.
• Will this connector fit an SD20 panel cutout?
  No, the SD13 requires a 13mm panel hole, whereas the SD20 requires a 20mm hole.
• Can I use this for outdoor solar panel wiring?
  Yes, its IP68 waterproof rating and UV-resistant nylon shell make it excellent for outdoor solar and weather station setups.
• What is the maximum current rating for the SD13 2-pin connector?
  It can safely handle up to 10A of continuous current across the 2 pins.
• What is the maximum voltage this connector supports?
  It is rated for a maximum operating voltage of 380V.
• Does the contact resistance cause significant voltage drop?
  No, the gold-plated brass contacts maintain a very low resistance of 2MΩ, ensuring minimal voltage drop.
• Do I need to solder the wires to this connector?
  Yes, the SD13 uses solder cup terminations that require physical soldering for a secure electrical connection.
• What size wire can fit inside the SD13 connector?
  The rear cable insert gland accepts outer cable diameters up to 6.5mm to maintain the waterproof seal.
• Which pin is positive and which is negative?
  There is no predefined polarity on these connectors; you must assign and match the VCC and GND pins across both the plug and socket yourself.
• Do I need any software or libraries to use this connector?
  No, this is a passive electromechanical component that requires no code or programming to function.
• Can I pass digital communication signals through this connector?
  Yes, the solid pins and shielded connection support basic digital signaling, though it is primarily designed for power.
• Is there a standard wiring code for 2-pin connectors?
  Usually, Pin 1 is used for Live/VCC and Pin 2 for Neutral/GND, but it is entirely up to the builder's preference.
• Why is my connector leaking water?
  Ensure the rear cable gland is fully tightened and your cable's outer jacket closely matches the 6.5mm insert diameter.
• Why did the plastic melt while soldering?
  Applying the soldering iron to the brass pins for too long will warp the PPS plastic insert; try to tin the wire and pin separately, then join them quickly.
• Why is my device losing power intermittently?
  Check for cold solder joints inside the connector, or ensure the outer threaded coupling is tightened all the way down.
• How do I fix a short circuit inside the connector shell?
  Always slide heat shrink tubing over individual soldered pins before assembling the outer shell to prevent exposed wires from touching.
• Does this kit include both the male plug and female socket?
  Yes, this listing includes one complete mated pair (the panel-mount female socket and the cable-mount male plug).
• Does Probots sell the SD13 connector in bulk for industrial orders?
  Yes, we support bulk, institutional, and B2B orders with specialized pricing and dedicated support.
• Are these connectors inspected before shipping?
  Yes, every connector undergoes our Probots QC-Pass visual inspection to verify thread smoothness and pin alignment before dispatch.
