WILMINGTON, Mass., July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Heilind Electronics, the largest interconnect distributor in North America, is now stocking NorComp's IP67 SEAL-D® D-Sub Connectors. These connectors are designed for applications that require protection from heavy spray or are exposed to short-term fluid submersion.

SEAL-D® connectors offer the same physical size and footprint as standard D-Subs, reducing space on new designs and eliminating the need to redesign enclosures and PC boards when implementing IP67 design upgrades.

"We're pleased to offer our customers SEAL-D® D-Sub connectors," said Alan Clapp, Heilind Vice President. "This product provides a great option for anyone needing D-Sub connectors for environmentally demanding applications."

All SEAL-D® connectors utilize high quality screw machine contacts, are RoHS compliant and come in a wide variety of styles and hardware options.

"SEAL-D® connectors utilize a proprietary sealing technology that maintains the same physical size and footprint as standard D-Sub products," said John McGowan, NorComp General Manager. "They meet all IP67 requirements for outdoor use making them ideal for equipment that is subjected to wash down or short term immersion."

Applications for SEAL-D® products include:

• Hand held computers, scanners and printers
