Shielded metal housing reduces EMI/RFI, improving signal integrity in noisy factory floors, which translates to fewer faulty readings and more reliable PLC and drive communications on robotic arms, CNC machines, and conveyors. The IP68/69K sealing provides dependable protection against water, dust, and washdown environments, lowering the risk of corrosion and environmental damage in outdoor or wet production lines and enabling longer service intervals. The backshell is a sealing gland, delivering a secure, moisture- resistant interface that streamlines installation and reduces rework in field retrofits. With a cable diameter range of 13.5 to 18 mm, technicians can retrofit common power and sensor cables without adapters, saving time and inventory costs. UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH compliance support regulatory alignment and safer procurement for global facilities. The straight backshell simplifies routing in tight panel spaces, while the shielded design ensures robust EMI protection for precision equipment and high-speed data paths. These features collectively reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and improve overall system reliability in industrial automation and machine-building environments.

FAQs
Begin by selecting a cable within the 13.5–18 mm diameter range. Thread the shielded conductors through the sealing gland, route the cable, and position the backshell so the straight orientation fits your panel or enclosure. Secure the strain-relief nut to maintain mechanical stability, then mate with the corresponding connector and perform a functional and seal integrity check to confirm IP68/69K performance.
The UT0S18JCL supports a cable diameter from 13.5 mm minimum up to 18 mm maximum. This range accommodates typical power and shielded signal cables used in automation systems, enabling straightforward retrofits without special adapters or rework.
Yes. UT0S18JCL is designed as a shielded metal IP68/69K connector, providing high ingress protection against dust and water, including high-pressure washdown and immersion scenarios. Ensure proper mating seals and correct gland installation to maintain the IP rating during operation in harsh environments.
UT0S18JCL carries UL94 V0 flammability rating and RoHS/REACH compliance, in addition to IP68/69K protection. These certifications help meet safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements across global facilities, simplify procurement, and reduce risk for aerospace, automotive, and industrial customers seeking compliant, durable connectors.
The rugged metal housing, robust sealing gland, and shielding reduce downtime from moisture ingress and EMI-related faults, extending service life and lowering maintenance costs. Its straightforward installation and reliable strain relief simplify retrofits and expansions, delivering faster time-to-production and improved total cost of ownership in robotic cells and production lines.
