FAQs
The UTS61823S uses a straight plug with 1/3 bayonet coupling and crimp contacts. Ensure proper orientation (N) and mate with the corresponding female receptacle. Do not force alignment; verify the 23 contacts engage uniformly. Use the appropriate crimp terminals and, if needed, order the backshell accessory separately to enhance protection.
Key specs include a 10 A UL and 9 A IEC current rating, 63 V IEC and 500 V CSA/UL test voltages, and up to 250 mating cycles. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 105 °C, with IP68 protection and UV resistance. These factors ensure safe power and signal transmission in demanding environments.
Yes. The connector provides IP68/69K sealing, UV resistance, and a polyamide insert housed in a durable plastic shell, making it well-suited for outdoor installations, washdown areas, and industrial machinery exposed to dust, moisture, or chemical challenges.
The unit complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No. 182.3, with IP68 protection and RoHS/REACH considerations. This alignment supports global qualification requirements and helps streamline procurement for regulated applications.
With 250 mating cycles, reliable sealing, and 23-position capability, maintenance cycles can be planned more predictably, reducing unexpected downtime. The lightweight polyamide/plastic construction also lowers installation time and handling risk, contributing to lower lifecycle costs in automation and control applications.
