GX16 Waterproof Connector Sourcing from China
1 resources tagged with "Gx16 Connector"
The GX16 is a 16mm-thread circular connector common on CNC pendants, e-bike harnesses, and industrial sensors, offered in 2 to 10 pins and rated IP67 when mated. Its larger contacts carry roughly 5-7A per pin, more than the smaller GX12, and Yueqing-area factories quote MOQs around 100-500 sets with 15-25 day lead times. The frequent China-sourcing trap is mismatched pin maps between batches, so always lock the pinout drawing before reordering.
When sourcing GX16, the shell looks the same regardless of pin count and gender, so the drawing — pin count, male/female, panel-mount vs cable — is what you are actually ordering. We verify contact plating, that the gasket and coupling nut are included, and that current rating suits your load before approving a sample.

FAQ
What current can a GX16 connector handle?
Around 5-7A per pin depending on pin count and contact gauge. For motor or battery leads above that, move to GX20 or a dedicated power connector.
GX12 vs GX16 — which should I pick?
GX16 has larger contacts and higher current capacity but a bigger 16mm panel cutout. Choose GX12 for tight panels and low current, GX16 when you need more pins or amps.
