The gasket that comes with this Hirschmann GDM 2014 J DIN 43650 solenoid valve connector is made from NBR material, which is not meant to be conductive. It is specifically designed to serve as a protective barrier against dust and liquids.
If the connector has been in use for an extended period and the gasket is measuring 5 kΩ, it's likely that the NBR has accumulated conductive debris such as oils, carbon dust, or metallic particles. This kind of contamination can create a resistance path. It is recommended that you clean the gasket with a suitable solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol, to see if that resolves the issue. If you have other connectors of this type and this is the only one showing this issue, replacing the entire connector would be the safest option.
If this connector was recently purchased, it may require further investigation, as this is not something that has been encountered on new connectors before.
