Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68/69K sealed plastic shell delivers superior protection against water, dust, and immersion, reducing field failure rates and maintenance intervals in washdown zones. This translates to lower operating costs and higher equipment uptime in food processing, water treatment, and outdoor automation. Application: plug-and-play integration in harsh environments with minimal protective housings required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 2-position, male solder contacts with gold plating provide reliable, low-resistance connections for control and sensing circuits, improving signal integrity and lifecycle cost in machine wiring harnesses. Application: automation panels, robotic arms, and remote sensing nodes where compact, durable plugs are needed. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 Bayonet coupling and W orientation enable fast, secure mating even in confined spaces, reducing installation time and error rates in field assemblies. Application: repairable field connectors on conveyors and packaging lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: operating temperature range -40 to 105 °C, plus oil, UV, and chemical resistance, ensures stable performance across outdoor weather, industrial washdowns, or elevated-temperature zones. Application: HVAC systems, remote equipment, and heavy machinery with exposure to harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 7 A current rating and up to 250 V ratings provide compatibility with standard control and automation circuits, supporting scalable, safe power distribution in control cabinets and remote I/O nodes. Application: industrial automation and plant wiring where reliable control power is essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 250 mating cycles and durable neoprene insert offer long service life and resilience to vibrations, reducing replacement costs and downtime in conveyor systems and robotics. Application: maintenance-driven industries where plug integrity is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RoHS-compliant materials and broad environmental resistance ensure regulatory alignment and sustainability on global projects. Application: energy and process industries with strict material restrictions and environmental exposure.

FAQs

Yes. The UTS68E2PW is part of the Souriau UTS series and uses the same 1/3 bayonet coupling and W orientation for straightforward mating. It is designed to work with compatible female receptacles and standard Souriau accessories, ensuring consistent locking, sealing, and alignment across your wiring harnesses.
The plug provides a current rating of 7 A and supports up to 250 V (IEC/CSA/UL). This makes it suitable for control circuits, signal lines, and low-power power distribution in industrial automation while maintaining safe operation within certified standards.
Yes. With IP68 protection (and IP69K considerations in unmated conditions), UV resistance, and oil/chemical resilience, it is well-suited for harsh outdoor, washdown, and chemical-exposure environments found in manufacturing, food processing, and water treatment facilities.
The connector supports 250 mating cycles, offering reliable reuse in maintenance cycles, spare assemblies, and field wiring tasks. The gold-plated solder contacts also help preserve signal integrity and reduce contact wear over time in vibration-heavy applications.
Verify UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications indicate safety, interoperability, and environmental compliance for industrial automation projects and global deployments. If needed, we can provide formal certificates or supplier declarations for your procurement records.
