Sealed board-to-board interconnect system?
Sealed board-to-board interconnect system?
(OP)
What I would ideally like is a connector system that is sealed (IP65 or better) and has mating panel mount, through hole headers. Probably pushing my luck here (as if I haven't already), but I'd really like it if they are both vertical with respect to the PCB. Plenty of stuff for wire-to-board applications, and that is my distant second choice, but I'm really holding out for board-to-board. Oh, and 20-40 terminals.
Any suggestions welcome... well, except for the online equivalent of throwing rotten tomatoes, that is.

itsmoked - This connector is for low voltage (24V max) i/o connections on a piece of industrial equipment that, ideally, can survive washdown duty (e.g. - IP54 minimum). What I really want here is a waterproof, or at least splashproof, version of the Phoenix Contact "Combicon" system - a sealed, panel mount header with through hole pins that mates to a plug with spring or screw wire-clamp terminals. Ie - a sealed version of this:
Yes, I realize that this doesn't make a lot of sense, which is why I didn't ask for such. Rather, I figured that someone else at some point has needed to make what amounts to a waterproof "dongle", and I could use that sort of sealed B2B interconnect system to adapt to a board-mount Phoenix connector. A bit kludgy, perhaps, but worth investigating.
My final options, should nothing come of this post, is to use a sealed wire-to-board interconnect system that either terminates in a "breakout box" with spring/screw terminals, or else just in wire pigtails that can be spliced, etc., by the end=user.

Also go to Digikey and look at:

Pay particular attention to the water proof D-sub bulkhead connectors. They've been around for decades and may fit your needs.
The most common waterproof application is automotive. JAE makes a lot of those. But most are cable to cable not bulkhead. They are generally oval with a locking lever that you depress with your finger while separating. In the above search they are the 'rectangular' connectors.

Specifically, I'm going with this Tyco AMPSEAL system:

...with short wire pigtails on the plug that the customer can terminate to a barrier strip, butt splices, etc.
