IP68/IP69k waterproof sealing protects against immersion, spray and washdowns, reducing maintenance and downtime in harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The robust plastic shell and seal mechanism keep ingress at bay, enabling reliable operation on outdoor automation equipment and in food-processing environments where frequent cleaning is required. This supports longer service intervals and lower lifecycle costs, suitable for long-term plant automation projects. Eight-position, male crimp contacts with a 1/3 bayonet coupling provide secure mating and quick field assembly, accelerating panel wiring and reducing installation labor costs for control cabinets and machine interfaces. Compatibility with a backshell for flexible conduit simplifies cable routing in compact enclosures, improving install times and reliability in heavy-duty machinery. The 61 mm length and 29.7 mm width enable compact fits in dense control panels, while maintaining robust grip and strain relief. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C ensures performance across temperature swings common in industrial facilities, with a 250 mating cycle rating that supports high-reliability automation cycles. The polyamide insert adds chemical resistance and UV stability, lowering replacement frequency in outdoor or harsh indoor deployments. Certifications to UL 1977, IEC 61984 and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 reinforce compliance and safety, easing procurement and QA processes for regulated industries.

FAQs
The UTS6FC128P uses a backshell designed 'For Flexible Conduit' and a straight plug orientation. To install, slide the backshell onto the conduit, mate the plug with the receptacle, and secure using the 1/3 bayonet coupling for a tight seal. Ensure the conduit gland is properly tightened to maintain IP68 protection in washdown environments.
The connector is rated for 10 A IEC/UL, with a test current of 7 A CSA. It supports voltages of 500 V UL/CSA and 80 V IEC. It uses 8 crimp contacts in a male pin arrangement and provides 250 mating cycles, suitable for repeated assembly in automation panels and field installations.
Yes. It features IP68 protection and IP69K immersion compatibility, UV resistance, and salt spray resistance for 500 hours. The operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C enables reliable operation across environmental swings common in outdoor and industrial settings, including exposure to moisture, dust, and vibration.
The connector complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, ensuring recognized safety and performance standards. IP68 sealing provides robust ingress protection, supporting regulatory acceptance in many industries and aiding QA and supplier qualification processes.
With 250 mating cycles and durable polyamide insert, the UTS6FC128P offers reliable service in automation and industrial applications. Maintenance requirements are minimized by the sealed IP68/69k design, the crimp contact system, and the backshell for flexible conduit, which collectively reduce wear, leakage risks, and replacement frequency in harsh environments.
