IP65 sealing provides dust-tight protection and water ingress resistance, reducing field failures and maintenance on outdoor conveyors and robotic cells. The sealed housing supports dependable operation in environments with dust, splashes, or hose-down cleaning, delivering measurable uptime improvements. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast mating and unmated connections with minimal tools, shortening installation and changeover times on production lines. In service tasks, this design reduces downtime and accelerates maintenance windows. The Backshell type Sealing Gland complements the IP65 seal by sealing around the cable entry and preserving cable integrity, simplifying harness installation while maintaining protection. This arrangement ensures reliable performance in harsh environments without compromising accessibility for diagnostics. Shell size 18 and a lightweight plastic housing provide versatility across applications, contributing to easier routing in compact enclosures and vehicle systems. Flammability rating UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH compliance support regulatory requirements, improving audit readiness and sustainability. Compatibility with Souriau UTP accessories enables scalable integration across multi-vendor systems, reducing design time and inventory complexity. The dustcap enhances ingress protection during maintenance, extending service intervals and protecting contacts from contaminants.
