FAQs
The UTG18LPGN uses a 90° backshell with a sealing gland and strain relief nut designed for UTG series assemblies. During installation, align the cable diameter within 8 to 20.5 mm, secure the strain relief nut to provide robust mechanical support, and ensure the backshell seating is fully threaded to seal against contaminants. This approach minimizes slip, reduces wear on the harness, and speeds field upgrades in robotic and automation setups.
Key performance specs include shell size 18, backshell angle 90°, sealing gland type, and the cable diameter range of 8–20.5 mm. Compliance with RoHS, REACH, and UL94 V0 flammability further assures regulatory conformity and safety in industrial environments. Together, these specs support sustained electrical integrity, vibration resistance, and predictable maintenance intervals in automation workflows.
Yes. The UTG18LPGN is designed for heavy-use applications common in robotic arms and heavy machinery. Its sealing gland backshell, 90° orientation, and compatibility with cables from 8 to 20.5 mm enable reliable routing in compact enclosures while maintaining robust strain relief. The option to use metal and plastic construction further enhances durability in high-cycle, vibration-prone environments typical of automated manufacturing lines.
The UTG18LPGN carries RoHS and REACH compliance for restricted substances and environmental protection, along with UL94 V0 flammability rating for safer material performance. These certifications help meet industry and regulatory requirements across automotive, manufacturing, and electrical markets, reducing risk during audits and supplier qualification processes.
Adopting UTG18LPGN can reduce downtime and maintenance frequency through reliable sealing and strain relief, which minimizes ingress-related failures and wear on cables. Standardized UTG series parts simplify sourcing, shorten installation times, and enable quicker field swaps, translating to lower total cost of ownership and improved uptime in continuous production environments.
