FAQs
To install the UTG16ST, verify the cable diameter falls between seven and twelve millimeters and select the matching UTG Series gland components. Route the cable through the gland, align the shell with the mating connector, and tighten to the recommended torque to ensure a sealed, vibration-resistant joint. Use compatible accessories for a trusted, long service life.
UTG16ST carries UL94 V0 flammability rating and RoHS/REACH compliance, supporting safety and regulatory requirements in control panels and machinery. These certifications help reduce approval time for industrial projects and assist with customer audits. Always verify supplier documentation for current compliance status.
The provided data does not specify an IP rating for UTG16ST. For outdoor or heavily exposed installations, confirm enclosure protection, gasketing, and environmental ratings with the supplier or manufacturer. In general, use within appropriately rated enclosures to maintain performance and compliance in harsh environments.
UTG16ST supports cables with a diameter range from 7 mm to 12 mm. This enables secure gland sealing and reliable electrical contact for mid-size harnesses in UTG Series applications. Always confirm exact cable dimensions and sealing requirements during panel design and installation.
The mixed metal/plastic construction offers strong mechanical support, improved durability, and resistance to environmental factors while keeping weight manageable. This combination reduces maintenance needs, supports vibration resistance, and simplifies field handling, making UTG16ST a practical choice for rugged automation lines and system upgrades.
