FAQs
UTS618DCG is part of the Souriau UTS series and uses the established UTS mating interface with sealing cap size 18 for compatible UTS plugs. This ensures reliable sealing when mated and simplifies field servicing by using standard UTS components. The design supports quick mating and release with consistent alignment to minimize misassembly.
IP68/69k sealing protects internal conductors from immersion and high-pressure washdown, reducing corrosion and downtime. In outdoor machinery, marine sensors, and harsh automation settings, this performance translates to longer service intervals, lower maintenance costs, and safer operation in flood-prone or sanitation-focused environments.
Yes. The UTS618DCG is RoHS and REACH compliant and carries a UL94 V0 flammability rating, helping meet European and global regulatory requirements for electrical equipment. This alignment simplifies customer approvals, accelerates machinery certification, and reduces risk in regulated industries such as packaging, energy automation, and food processing.
Ensure adequate clearance for mating and the sealing cap when disconnected. Plan for space in compact control panels, verify cable bend radii and strain relief, and account for enclosure accessibility. The 167 mm length and shell size 18 support robust mechanical fit while preserving IP integrity during maintenance and upgrades.
Using a sealed, lightweight UTS618DCG reduces field failures and maintenance labor. Its compact form minimizes enclosure space and simplifies cable harnessing, leading to lower downtime, fewer reseals, and faster installations. Over a project lifecycle, this translates to favorable total cost of ownership and improved return on investment for automation deployments.
