The UTS68E33SW uses three gold-plated solder cup contacts with a 7 A current rating, delivering low contact resistance and dependable signal integrity in demanding environments. This translates to reduced downtime and fewer rework incidents during maintenance, making it ideal for automation panels and sensor networks. Its 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick mating and reliable locking, speeding up field assemblies and service procedures without sacrificing safety. With a straight plug orientation and W keying, alignment during installation is straightforward, minimizing connector wear and extending service life in conveyors and mobile equipment. The neoprene insert and plastic shell deliver chemical and UV resistance, supporting long-term performance in oil, acid bath, and outdoor exposure. Mating cycles of up to 250 enable scalable production line deployments while preserving electrical integrity across shifts. The gold-plated contacts further guarantee corrosion resistance in harsh environments, supporting predictable performance where reliability is non-negotiable. Compatibility with standard Souriau UTS components is enhanced by clearly defined specifications and a compact footprint (shell size 8), reducing design changes and inventory complexity. Overall, the combination of IP68 sealing, rigorous mechanical design, and RoHS-compliant materials translates into measurable efficiency gains and lower total cost of ownership across industrial applications.

FAQs
The UTS68E33SW provides a three-contact, gold-plated solder cup arrangement in a W-keyed, straight-plug format with a 1/3 bayonet coupling. This design aligns with common Souriau UTS mating receptacles while delivering reliable UL/IEC compatibility for 3-pin configurations. The result is straightforward field integration with minimized rework and consistent electrical performance.
The 1/3 bayonet coupling on the UTS68E33SW is engineered for quick, guided mating with positive locking. Align the keying W orientation, bring the plug to the receptacle, and rotate to engage. This reduces mating torque and wear while maintaining sealing integrity. Ensure mating cycles and environmental exposure match the connector’s 250-cycle rating for best long-term results.
The UTS68E33SW complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 (along with RoHS considerations). These certifications support compliance across North American and international machinery standards, simplifying approval for equipment used in diverse industries. When designing you can reference these marks to satisfy safety, performance, and environmental requirements in your bill of materials.
This connector is rated IP68 in unmated conditions and operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, with UV resistance and chemical resilience. It tolerates mineral oils, basic baths, acids, and gasoline exposure, making it suitable for outdoor control panels, mobile equipment, and rugged conveyors. Its Neoprene insert and plastic shell further support durability under vibration and harsh industrial conditions.
With a 7 A current rating, 3 contacts, and 250 mating cycles, the UTS68E33SW offers predictable longevity and reduced maintenance frequency. Gold-plated contacts ensure stable conductivity and corrosion resistance, lowering failure risk in challenging environments. Its quick-mating bayonet design reduces downtime during changeovers, contributing to higher line throughput and lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
