Eaton UTG14AC Connector - RoHS UL94 V0 Strain Relief
Part Number: UTG14AC
Quick Summary
Eaton UTG14AC is a heavy-use connector that provides durable cable management for rugged automation systems. Engineers often wrestle with cable movement, strain, and premature failures in control panels, especially in harsh environments. This UTG14AC assembly meets RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 requirements, supporting safer, longer-lasting installations. As part of the Souriau UTG series, it uses a plastic cable clamp with strain relief for secure routing, while preserving serviceability in panels and enclosures. The solution aligns with maintenance strategies and compliance programs, delivering better uptime, reduced replacement costs, and smoother installation for automated processes and machinery wiring. Its straight backshell and 14-shell size optimize space in crowded cabinets and support quick field maintenance. For design engineers integrating UTG14AC, the compatibility with UTG series ensures scalable, standardized solutions.

The UTG14AC employs a rugged metal and plastic housing designed for long life under industrial demands, including extreme temperature, vibration, and cargo handling. Its construction resists vibration, frequent mating cycles, and dirty environments typical in manufacturing floors, translating to reduced downtime and lower replacement costs across automated lines. The built-in strain relief backshell minimizes cable movement during vibration and thermal cycling, protecting both cable and connector. By reducing micromotion, it extends connector life and lowers field maintenance needs in harsh conditions. This is especially valuable in robotics, packaging, and material handling where reliability drives uptime. Shell size fourteen and a cable range of 4 to 13.8 mm offer versatile harnessing. The 14 mm footprint aligns with UTG14 components, enabling standardized interconnects across devices. Straight backshell orientation simplifies routing in tight panels and supports straightforward field service. Compatibility with the broader UTG series supports scalable designs and reduces supplier fragmentation. Tight integration across the family minimizes rework and accelerates time-to-value for new installations. Designers can standardize cabling schemes across machines, improving training and maintenance consistency. RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 certifications help meet regulatory expectations in multiple markets. The UL94 V0 rating supports safe, flame-retardant applications in control panels and cabinets. Together, these standards simplify audits, supplier qualification, and ongoing compliance programs. Plastic cable clamp with strain relief offers straightforward termination and reliable cable retention. Installation benefits include faster assembly, fewer errors, and less need for rework on the shop floor. In practice, the UTG14AC reduces maintenance intervals while sustaining high throughput in automated lines.

FAQs
To install UTG14AC with UTG family components, align the straight backshell with the mating connector, ensure shell size 14, and route cables through the integrated strain relief. Verify that cable diameter falls within 4 to 13.8 mm and that RoHS/REACH/UL94 V0 compliance requirements are met. Use compatible UTG series spares to avoid misfits and minimize rework.
Performance depends on the 4–13.8 mm cable diameter range and the strain-relief backshell. The 14-shell size ensures a secure fit with UTG14 mating parts. Straight backshell angle simplifies routing, while the strain-relief design reduces micromotion and wear under vibration, improving uptime and reducing maintenance needs in heavy-use environments.
Yes. The UTG14AC is built for rugged automation, including robotics and packaging lines, where cable movement and environmental exposure are frequent. Its durable housing, straight backshell, and strain-relief clamp mitigate movement-induced failures. The 4–13.8 mm cable range accommodates common power and control cables used in those applications.
The UTG14AC carries RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 certifications, supporting regulatory compliance for multiple markets. Verification should reference material declarations, supplier qualification docs, and test reports. These certifications facilitate audits and ensure safer, compliant use in control panels, machinery, and automation equipment.
Expect reduced maintenance intervals due to the strain-relief design, fewer field reworks, and longer connector life in vibration-rich environments. The standardized UTG14 family simplifies procurement and spares stocking, delivering lower total cost of ownership and faster project realization for automated lines and retrofit projects.
