IP68/IP69K sealing and neoprene insert provide robust protection against water, dust, and oil exposure, enabling reliable operation in washdown environments and rugged installation sites, which lowers downtime and service costs. This translates to improved uptime for conveyors, outdoor equipment, and harsh-environment machinery where quick, secure mating is crucial. The 2-contact, solder cup (gold-plated) design ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, delivering stable signal and power transmission for sensors and actuators in demanding automation networks. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C supports extreme climates and high-temperature zones, reducing the need for alternative cooling or enclosure changes and increasing system resilience. A compact shell (shell size 8) at 6.9 g reduces overall equipment weight and frees enclosure space for other components, improving installation density. With 250 mating cycles, the plug remains reliable through routine maintenance, minimizing replacement costs. The 1/3 bayonet coupling offers quick, field-friendly mating while maintaining secure connections in vibration-prone environments, and the plastic shell enhances resistance to UV exposure and chemical baths. Overall, these features align with industry demands for rugged, compliant field wiring, enabling safer, more efficient automation deployments and outdoor equipment integration.

FAQs
The UTS68E2S uses a straight plug with a 1/3 bayonet coupling for fast, secure mating. Ensure the neoprene insert seats properly and that the plug aligns with the mating socket in the N orientation. The connector is designed for two gold-plated solder-contact cavities, enabling straightforward soldering of wires during field wiring while maintaining IP68 sealing once mated. This setup reduces installation time and improves reliability in harsh environments.
Plan for a 7 A current rating (IEC/UL), 250 V test voltage (UL/CSA) and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C. The connector features IP68 sealing, resistance to mineral oil and UV, plus robust resistance to vibration per IEC 60512-4. With gold-plated solder cups and two contacts, you’ll achieve reliable power and signal transfer in challenging industrial settings, including outdoor automation and sensor wiring.
Yes. Its IP68/69K rating, UV and oil resistance, and Bayonet coupling make it ideal for outdoor automation, heavy machinery, and washdown environments. The compact 2-contact layout supports field wiring for sensors and actuators, while the 250 mating cycles ensure durability through regular maintenance without frequent part replacement. This connector is well-suited for space-constrained enclosures in automation projects.
The UTS68E2S carries UL 1977 and IEC 61984 approvals and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3. It also offers ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support safety, interoperability, and environmental compliance for industrial electronics, enabling easier integration into regulated automation systems and field deployments.
Use the optional backshell accessory (ordered separately) to maintain IP68 sealing and proper strain relief. The 250 mating cycles contribute to predictable maintenance intervals, reducing unexpected outages. The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion in oily or damp conditions, while the neoprene insert and plastic shell offer durable resistance to UV and chemical exposure, lowering replacement costs and extending equipment uptime in harsh environments.
