The UTS618X2M3P features a 1/3 bayonet coupling that speeds assembly and disassembly, reducing field service time while maintaining a secure connection in vibration-prone environments. This directly translates to lower maintenance costs and minimized downtime in conveyor or robotic applications. With five male crimp contacts housed in a plastic shell, the connector delivers compact, lightweight integration for space-constrained control panels, improving overall panel density and wiring efficiency. The device is rated for 44 A UL and 32 A IEC (600 V UL/CSA, 300 V IEC), enabling higher current operation for motor starters and accessory circuits without oversizing the harness. Its IP68 rating and UV-resistant, oil- and chemical-resistant structure provide confidence for outdoor and washdown environments, reducing replacement cycles and service calls. The insert material is polyamide with a plastic shell, offering chemical resistance and compatibility with crimp terminals. Optional first-mate/last-break and last-mate/first-break configurations provide flexibility for single-point or daisy-chained wiring. The connector ships without a backshell or plug accessory, allowing customers to tailor protection and cable management per application. With 37 mm depth, 41.3 mm height, and 41.3 mm width, the unit fits compact control enclosures while maintaining rugged sealing; mating cycles reach 250, supporting long-term automation deployments. The product is compliant with essential standards, and the design supports straightforward field installation, reducing commissioning time for equipment such as automated machines and material handling systems.

FAQs
The UTS618X2M3P is a straight plug with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and crimp contact delivery. It supports five male contacts with 37 mm depth and 41.3 mm height/width, designed for compatible crimp terminals within standard automation cables. Note that connector accessories are not delivered with the plug and must be ordered separately to tailor protective backshells or cable glands for field installations.
Current ratings are 44 A (UL) and 32 A (IEC), with a maximum voltage of 600 V (UL/CSA) and 300 V (IEC). Operating temperature spans -40 °C to 105 °C. The insert is polyamide in a plastic shell, with IP68 sealing and UV resistance, plus resistance to oils and basic/acidic baths, making it suitable for harsh industrial settings.
Yes. The connector is IP68 rated (waterproof and dust-tight), UV resistant, and designed to resist oil, acid, and basic baths. This makes it appropriate for outdoor installations, washdown areas, and equipment exposed to challenging chemical and weather conditions.
The UTS618X2M3P complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, aligning with widely recognized safety and performance criteria for connectors in industrial automation. This compliance supports risk management, documentation for audits, and easier procurement within regulated projects.
With a mating lifecycle of 250 cycles and robust sealing, the UTS618X2M3P minimizes replacement frequency in dynamic automation lines. The 1/3 bayonet coupling simplifies field reassembly, reducing downtime during maintenance. Combined with high current capability and resistance to environmental factors, this translates into lower total cost of ownership and improved uptime for conveyors, robots, and other automated systems.
