IP68/69K waterproofing delivers proven protection against dust and immersion in brutal environments. This reduces field failures and costly downtime for outdoor equipment, conveyors, and mobile machinery. The UTS6FC1210S is designed for reliable operation in wet process lines thanks to the integrated conduit adapter and straight plug, simplifying field assembly. Ten-position configuration with a polyamide insert enables clean wiring density for sensor and actuator networks, while maintaining a robust current rating of 6 A IEC / 5 A UL per contact. This reduces harness complexity and improves reliability in machine tools, conveyors, and automated lines. Backshell designed for Flexible Conduit and a 1/3 bayonet coupling enable quick, seal-tight installations. This reduces installation time and ensures consistent IP68 sealing in field installations. The broad operating temperature range from -40 C to 105 C, combined with UV resistance and RoHS/REACH compliance, ensures long-term reliability in outdoor and industrial environments. With up to 250 mating cycles and a durable plastic housing, the UTS6FC1210S provides predictable lifecycle and maintenance planning for rugged automation wiring.

FAQs
The UTS6FC1210S uses a Backshell Type designed for Flexible Conduit and a Straight Plug, with a 1/3 Bayonet coupling for quick, seal-tight installation. Ensure the conduit adapter is properly seated and the backshell is securely tightened to maintain IP68 sealing. Delivered with connector accessories simplifies field mounting and reduces install time while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Electrical performance includes a current rating of 6 A IEC and 5 A UL per contact, with a test current of 4 A CSA / 6 A IEC / 5 A UL. Rated voltage up to 250 V (CSA/UL) and 50 V (IEC). These figures support reliable power and signal transmission for mixed loads in automation panels and sensor networks.
Yes. The connector carries an IP68 rating (and IP69K capability implied by the series intent) and is built with UV-resistant, RoHS/REACH-compliant materials. It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, resisting oil, gasoline, and mineral oil exposure, making it well-suited for outdoor, marine, and harsh industrial installations.
The UTS6FC1210S provides up to 250 mating cycles, offering predictable maintenance planning and lower replacement costs. The crimp contact design combined with a polyamide insert ensures reliable retention and consistent electrical performance over time, even in vibration-heavy environments typical of automated machinery.
This connector is delivered with the basic connector assembly and a conduit adapter. It is designed to be compatible with Souriau UTS series backshells and flexible conduit systems. If additional accessories are required for specific installations, discuss conduit types, mating adapters, or mounting hardware with the supplier to ensure full IP sealing and regulatory compliance.
