FAQs
Installation begins with selecting the jam-nut receptacle mating with the appropriate panel cutout. Align the connector orientation to X, tighten the jam nut securely to ensure sealing and preload, then solder the 18 contacts into the mating harness. The absence of a backshell simplifies space-constrained panels, while the 1/3 bayonet coupling provides secure retention during vibration. Verify IP68/69K integrity after assembly and perform a functional test at operating temperature ranges to confirm reliability.
This receptacle offers IP68/69K sealing in unmated conditions, RoHS and REACH compliance, and UL94 V0 flammability, all essential for harsh environments. With 18 solder cup contacts and a robust jam-nut design, it maintains reliable connections under vibration. The operating range of -40 °C to 105 °C supports outdoor, mining, and factory floor applications, while a compact 24.5 mm length keeps installation area minimal and error-free.
Yes. The UTGX714E18SX uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick, secure mating, while its 18 solder cup contacts provide solid, soldered connections for each circuit. This combination reduces wiring time and enhances mechanical retention in high-vibration equipment. It’s well-suited for panel-mounted assemblies in robotics, packaging lines, and industrial automation where rapid servicing matters.
Best-fit applications include robotics cells, automated packaging lines, and outdoor/equipment enclosures exposed to dust, moisture, or temperature extremes. The jam-nut receptacle with solder contacts supports compact, high-density I/O in control panels, while the IP68/69K rating and 500 mating cycles ensure longevity and predictable maintenance scheduling in continuous operation environments.
Plan for regular inspection of sealing integrity and solder junctions during routine maintenance. The connector supports up to 500 mating cycles, so schedule connector mate/unmate cycles accordingly to minimize wear. Ensure RoHS/REACH compliance remains intact during servicing, and confirm operating temperatures stay within the -40 °C to 105 °C range. Keep a spare family of UTGX series connectors for quick swaps.
