The smaller design allows device dimensions that are 75% more compact. It is therefore especially suitable for space-critical applications such as sensor technology applications
for special vehicles. With the proven device connection technology, tailored interfaces for signals, data, and power can be realised.

The housings made of UV-stabilised
polycarbonate plastic (UL 94-V0) are designed with an IP69 degree of protection and are suitable for a wide temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. Along
with the new version, housings are also available with installation depths of 109mm and 169mm. A pressure-equalisation membrane available as an option ensures a
greater level of air exchange, increasing the service life of the housing-internal electronics. The housing parts can be sealed securely to protect the electronics against unauthorised access.
