IP65-rated protection and a rugged in-line receptacle shell deliver dependable sealing in dusty, wet, or vibratory environments. This reduces field failures and supports uptime in automated assembly lines and robotics applications. A dense 48‑cavity layout with 48 contacts and a 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides high signal density with fast, secure mating, translating to simplified harness design and faster field assembly for machine builders. Operating from -40 to 105 °C and with a UL94 V0 flammability rating, the UTG12448S withstands extreme industrial temperatures while maintaining safety standards; RoHS and REACH compliance further minimize regulatory risk in global deployments. The option for First Mate Last Break (FMLB) provides flexibility for laddering or daisy-chaining connectors while preserving serviceability, reducing maintenance downtime during upgrades or reconfigurations. Constructed with polyamide inserts and a metal-plastic shell, the connector combines fatigue resistance with heat dissipation and robust mechanical performance, while crimp contacts support reliable terminations in high-volume production lines. Salt spray resistance and a 500 mating cycle lifespan ensure longevity in harsh environments, supporting easy installation and long-term reliability in industrial automation.

FAQs
UTG12448S uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling and is an in-line receptacle designed for free-hanging installations in harsh environments. It supports high-density 48-contact configurations and crimp terminations, with compatibility for optional first mate last break features. When planning installs, verify alignment with mating halves and ensure proper accessory ordering since some components are not delivered by default.
This receptacle excels in heavy-use automated machinery, robotics, conveyors, and packaging lines where sealing, durability, and high contact density matter. The 48-channel layout, IP65 protection, and wide operating temperature range support reliable performance in dusty or damp facilities, while the rugged shell and long life cycles reduce downtime and maintenance costs in production environments.
Yes, UTG12448S is IP65 rated, offering robust protection against dust and water jets. It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, passes UL94 V0 flammability testing, and complies with RoHS and REACH. Additional durability features include salt spray resistance, which helps maintain connector integrity in outdoor or wash-down environments.
The UTG12448S provides 48 contacts in 48 cavities, arranged in a 24-shell size, and supports up to 500 mating cycles. This combination enables high-density connections with reliable mating performance over substantial lifecycles, suitable for continuous operation in manufacturing cells, machines, and automation networks.
Plan for crimp termination of 48 circuits and in-line receptacle mounting in constrained spaces. If using First Mate Last Break, ensure the optional configuration is ordered. Note that some connector accessories are not delivered by default, so inventory planning should include mating halves, seals, and any mounting hardware to ensure a smooth, fast installation with minimal downtime.
