IP65-rated metal and plastic shell construction provides rugged protection and versatility, while the 28-cavity in-line receptacle layout supports dense signal and power arrays. Coupled with a 1/3 Bayonet mating system, UTG12028PH delivers a fast, secure connection that resists vibration and accidental disengagement in automated lines. With a -40 °C to 105 °C operating temperature, the connector maintains reliable performance across outdoor enclosures, cold rooms, and high-heat machinery. The 500 mating cycles specification translates into lower replacement costs and predictable maintenance planning for critical equipment. Insert material is polyamide with a robust metal and plastic shell, delivering electrical continuity and mechanical resilience while resisting wear from repeated mating. Salt spray exposure is rated for 48 hours, supporting service in chemical or washdown environments without premature degradation. Fitted with optional first mate last break capability or last mate first break capability, UTG12028PH offers flexible cabling strategies for complex harnesses. These options simplify field maintenance, enable quicker unplugging during servicing, and reduce downtime during equipment upgrades. Compatibility within the Souriau UTG ecosystem means consistent terminal spacing, standardized crimps, and easier stocking across multiple site locations. Engineers achieve faster installation and lifecycle cost savings through reusable components and common accessories while maintaining compliance with RoHS and REACH standards. Designed for compatibility within the Souriau UTG ecosystem, it enables straightforward field installation and interchangeability with existing harnesses and accessories in tough line setups.

FAQs

Begin by preparing the crimp contacts and harness per the standard Souriau UTG guidelines. Align the male receptacle with the mate half, insert fully, and twist the bayonet coupling to lock. Verify full seating and continuity with a test meter. The 1/3 Bayonet provides quick mating and secure retention, reducing installation time and rework on busy assembly lines.
Ensure you select UTG parts from the same family with matching shell size and cavity count. UTG12028PH is a 28‑cavity inline receptacle designed to mate with UTG plugs and harnesses that share the 28‑cavity geometry and 20mm shell size. Use crimp contacts specified for this series and verify the mating cycle rating and environmental ratings to maintain performance in demanding environments.
UTG12028PH carries IP65 ingress protection, UL94 V0 flammability rating, and RoHS/REACH compliance, delivering reliable protection against dust, water spray, and chemical exposure. The -40 °C to 105 °C operating range supports temperature variability, while 500 mating cycles ensure long-term reliability in automation, robotics, and conveyors.
Key standards include IP65 ingress protection, UL94 V0 flame rating, and RoHS/REACH compliance. These align with industrial safety, environmental and chemical compliance programs. If your program requires CE or SIL, verify that your installation uses compatible components and follow IEC/EN standards specific to your application to maintain conformity.
The 500 mating cycles and robust environmental specs translate into lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime. A longer service life means fewer field replacements, simpler spare-parts logistics, and predictable maintenance scheduling, delivering lower total cost of ownership for automated lines, robotics, and heavy equipment.
