Feature → Business Impact → Application: The UTG12448P uses a 48-position inline receptacle with 48 cavities (size 24) to maximize harness density, enabling more signals per connector and reducing panel footprint in control cabinets and robotic cells. This translates to lower wiring complexity, easier diagnostics, and improved space utilization during machine upgrades or retrofits. Application: automated assembly lines and packaging equipment where space is at a premium and high-channel counts are required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 Bayonet coupling enables fast, tool-free mating and unmating, significantly cutting downtime during maintenance and field service. This supports rapid line changeovers and reduces scheduled downtime in manufacturing floors. Application: mobile machinery and outdoor equipment where quick, secure connections are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP65 ingress protection with polyamide insert and metal/plastic shell provides robust environmental sealing, resisting dust and water exposure in dusty plants or washdown environments. This minimizes corrosion risk and extends service life. Application: washdown-rated automation cells and outdoor installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 500 mating cycles and crimp contact reliability improve lifecycle cost by lowering replacement frequency and signal integrity concerns. Application: high-reliability automation interfaces and robotics endpoints. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C ensures performance across extreme factory conditions and unheated facilities. Application: equipment exposed to wide thermal swings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL94 V0 flammability, RoHS and REACH compliance, with standard Souriau UTG family compatibility, simplifies certification processes and supplier approvals. Application: aerospace-adjacent or regulated facilities requiring strict material and flame performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 48 contacts and crimp delivery method provide fast, field-friendly termination with consistent contact performance. Application: control panels and field wiring harnesses in harsh industrial settings.

FAQs
UTG12448P utilizes a 1/3 bayonet coupling design that allows tool-free engagement and disengagement. To install, align the receptacle with the mating plug, insert until the bayonet tabs engage, and rotate to lock. For field technicians, this reduces setup time and minimizes cross-thread risk, while maintaining IP65 sealing once the coupling is secured.
UTG12448P features 48 crimp contacts within a 24-shell-size in-line receptacle. It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and provides IP65 ingress protection. The insert is polyamide, the shell is metal & plastic, and it is RoHS and REACH compliant with UL94 V0 flammability, making it suitable for rugged, washdown, and regulation-heavy environments.
Yes. The UTG12448P is part of the Souriau UTG family and uses standard 48-contact crimp terminals compatible with UTG-series insert designs. Compatibility ensures straightforward upgrades or expansions, preserving mating interfaces and simplifying spare-part stocking for maintenance teams.
Industries with harsh environments and high-reliability needs benefit most, including automated manufacturing, robotics, material handling, and outdoor equipment. The IP65 rating, UL94 V0, RoHS/REACH compliance, and 500 mating cycles support mission-critical automation, ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, and reduced downtime.
The 500 mating cycles and crimp reliability reduce connector replacement and electrical faults, lowering maintenance frequency and lifecycle costs. Quick-mating bayonet design speeds servicing, while IP65 sealing and durable materials minimize ingress-related failures, delivering measurable uptime improvements and better total cost of ownership for automation projects.
