Circular Threaded Connector Inline Socket, 2-Pole, 5-8mm, IP68

The Circular Threaded Connector Inline Socket, 2-Pole, 5–8mm, IP68 is a compact, waterproof electrical connector designed to join a two-core cable to a compatible male plug.

• Two-pole connection: Provides two electrical contacts, typically used for live/neutral or positive/negative wiring.
• Inline cable mounting: Fits directly onto the end of a cable rather than being mounted to a panel.
• Cable compatibility: Accepts cables with an outside diameter of 5–8 mm.
• Threaded coupling: Screws securely onto its matching plug, helping prevent accidental disconnection.
• IP68 protection: Fully protected against dust and suitable for prolonged water immersion when correctly assembled and mated.
• Electrical rating: Rated for up to 250V AC and 13A.
• Construction: Nylon body with gold-plated brass solder contacts.
• Temperature range: −25°C to +85°C.
• Size: Approximately 48 mm long × 18 mm diameter.
• Service life: Designed for more than 500 mating cycles. 

In simple terms, it is a tough, screw-locking waterproof socket suited to outdoor lighting, marine wiring, garden equipment, LED installations and other low-voltage or mains-rated connections exposed to dust or moisture. It requires the wires to be soldered to the internal socket contacts and must be paired with the matching two-pole plug to create the sealed connection.
