FAQs

When integrating the UTS6FC12E10PY, ensure the backshell is matched to a flexible conduit with the straight plug orientation and Bayonet coupling for quick mate/demate. Verify conduit compatibility and ensure proper sealing to sustain IP68/69K performance. Use the included connector with the backshell option to minimize adapters and simplify field wiring.
The IP68/69K rating guarantees ingress protection against water, dust, and oil exposure even under unmated conditions. In oily environments, this reduces the risk of contamination and corrosion at contact interfaces, extending service intervals and maintaining signal integrity and current transfer in automation networks.
Yes. The UTS6FC12E10PY is designed to meet UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 compliance where applicable, with RoHS exemption 6.c. This alignment supports wired automation systems in regulated facilities and helps streamline supplier qualifications and project approvals.
The connector supports up to 250 mating cycles, making it well-suited for robotics, CNC, and conveyor applications where frequent mating and unmating occur. The gold-plated solder cups maintain low contact resistance over life, while IP68/69K sealing protects against harsh washdowns and vibration.
Applications in industrial automation and outdoor equipment that require compact, rugged, and high-reliability connections benefit most. The 10-pin solder cup arrangement supports multi-signal or multi-power needs, while the 61 mm footprint and 1/3 bayonet coupling enable efficient harnessing, reduced installation time, and scalable integration in control panels and field equipment.
