Eaton UTG16AC Connector - RoHS UL94 V0 for Heavy Use
Part Number: UTG16AC
Quick Summary
UTG16AC is a heavy-use connector designed to join rugged cables in harsh industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with cable strain, movement, and regulatory compliance in demanding installations. It meets RoHS and REACH requirements and carries UL94 V0 flammability performance, supporting safe, compliant installations. Designed for heavy-use environments, it integrates with the UTG family backshell strain relief and supports a cable diameter range from 5 to 17 mm. This compatibility enables modular field upgrades and faster maintenance, reducing total ownership costs. Its straight backshell angle and strain-relief design simplify installation in tight panels while enhancing cable longevity. Ideal for robotics, packaging, and heavy machinery in automotive, food processing, and material handling sectors.
