The « IP » defines the resistance of the product against solids (first number) and liquids (second number).
When mated, the Powersafe is defined as IP68. The number 6 corresponds to the protection against the dust and the sand. The number 8 corresponds to the pressure watertight : the product can hold 48h under 2m water.
When unmated, we proceed to a finger test on the socket insert/contact. The socket counterpart is IP2X.

The materials and plating listed under the VG96944 standard are:
- Aluminum with Olive Drab Cadmium plate
- Bronze
Marine Bronze is ideal for Naval application because of its excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion and salt spray exposure (1000h).
The VG96944 qualification is a German standard which defines power connectors. Amphenol Socapex Powersafe range is qualified according to VG96944 standard.
Powersafe connectors' layouts include 3 types of contacts :
- The protective contact : it is the longest one. The protective contact mates in first to secure the transmission of current.
- The pilot contact : it is the smallest one. The pilot contact mates in last to activate the transmission of current.
- Phases contacts which carry out the transmission of current.
With Powersafe, the user safety is ensured by using two special contacts :
- Protective contact : this is the first one to mate. This contact secures the transmission of current (first mate/last break).
- Pilot contact : this is the last one to mate. This contact activates the transmission of current (last mate/first break).
Please remember that disconnecting under load can be dangerous.
