Feature IP68/69k waterproof rating provides robust protection against immersion and high-pressure washdowns in harsh environments. This reliability translates into significantly fewer moisture-related failures, reduced downtime, and longer connector service life. It is particularly well suited for food and beverage lines, outdoor control panels, and marine automation where cleanliness and sealing matter most. Feature UL94 V0 flammability rating enhances safety in electrical enclosures and machinery, meeting strict industrial standards. This simplifies compliance documentation and reduces risk of fire-related incidents, especially in metal enclosures and compact machinery where heat management is critical. Feature RoHS and REACH compliance ensures global applicability and environmentally responsible manufacturing. It supports international deployments without redesign, streamlining procurement and supply chain for multinational projects and offshore installations. Feature shell size 18 and red coding ring aid quick identification and correct mating, reducing commissioning time and misalignment in fast-paced assembly environments. Feature compact footprint with a 28.5 mm external dimension and light 1 g weight contributes to reduced cabling bulk and easier routing, boosting installation flexibility and enabling more efficient layouts in modular control panels. Feature compatibility with UTS plugs ensures straightforward mating within existing UTS ecosystems, limiting spare parts and enabling smoother maintenance. Feature overall design supports long service life in repetitive disconnect/reconnect cycles common in automation lines, minimizing downtime and replacement costs in busy manufacturing floors.

FAQs

The UTS618CCRR uses the standard UTS plug interface with shell size 18 and a red coding ring for quick orientation. Compatibility is ensured if your mating connector is from the Eaton Souriau UTS series designed for IP68/69k sealing. Confirm the panel cutout and mating dimension match the 28.5 mm footprint to prevent misalignment during installation.
Key specs include IP68/69k ingress protection, UL94 V0 flammability rating, and RoHS/REACH compliance. These characteristics support reliable operation in washdown and outdoor settings, help meet safety standards for electrical enclosures, and ensure compliance for global deployments. Always verify operating temperature ranges and chemical exposure limits for your specific application.
Yes. The IP68/69k sealing provides strong resistance to immersion and high-pressure washdowns common in outdoor and marine environments. The plastic housing offers corrosion resistance, while RoHS/REACH compliance supports environmentally responsible installations. For marine use, verify cable entry protection and enclosure IP ratings downstream in the system to maintain overall seal integrity.
Ensure proper mating with the UTS plug using the red coding ring for correct alignment, and verify the shell size matches the panel or enclosure opening. Use compatible gaskets and seal interfaces, and perform regular inspection after washdowns to detect seal degradation early. Proper mating torque and gentle handling during disconnections also extend service life and reduce maintenance visits.
The UTS618CCRR reduces downtime by mitigating moisture ingress and sealing failures, lowering maintenance frequency. Its RoHS/REACH compliance simplifies international procurement, while the compact form factor saves panel space and wiring complexity. Over time, this translates to lower spare-part diversity, faster commissioning, and improved uptime, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in automation lines.
