FAQs
Yes. The UTS618X2M3S is part of the Souriau UTS family and uses a 1/3 Bayonet coupling for fast, tool-free mating. It supports Last Mate First Break and First Mate Last Break variants as optional features, allowing maintenance flexibility. It is oriented as a plug with a female socket configuration and is designed to integrate with matching Souriau UTS interfaces for streamlined spares and service.
The connector provides five contacts (3 x #16 and 2 x #8 power), with a current rating of up to 44 A UL and 32 A IEC, and a voltage rating up to 600 V UL/CSA (300 V IEC). It withstands 250 mating cycles, making it suitable for repeated connect/disconnect cycles in automation and mobile equipment.
Ideal for automation panels, outdoor machinery, robotics, and mobile equipment, the UTS618X2M3S supports harsh environments due to IP68 sealing, UV resistance, and rugged insert materials. Its mixed 5-contact configuration is advantageous for integrated power and control wiring in compact harneses, reducing harness complexity in industrial plants and field installations.
Key standards include IEC 61984 for connectors, UL 1977 for interconnection in electrical equipment, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 for reliability. Fire and smoke performance is addressed by UL94 V0 and NFF 16101/16102 I2F3. RoHS compliance is supported, ensuring regulatory alignment for European and North American manufacturing environments.
The 1/3 Bayonet coupling enables rapid field mating, reducing downtime during maintenance. The 250 mating cycles and IP68/69K sealing cut failure rates and field-rework, improving uptime in outdoor and harsh environments. Overall, the combination of robust sealing, long lifecycle, and easy serviceability translates to lower maintenance costs and faster project ROI in automation deployments.
