IP68/IP69K protection and rugged construction provide reliable performance in washdown and outdoor environments. This translates to reduced downtime and longer service intervals by preventing moisture ingress and corrosion in critical control and power connections. It is especially suitable for factory automation, outdoor equipment, and mobile machinery where aggressive cleaning and exposure are common. Ten gold-plated solder cup contacts ensure robust electro-mechanical connections under vibration, delivering improved signal integrity and power delivery for sensors, controls, and I/O wiring in automated lines and robotic cells. The 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight backshell enable fast mating and secure retention, significantly reducing maintenance time during field upgrades or rework. Compatibility with Souriau UTS receptacles provides a plug-and-play solution for wiring harnesses. Backshell for Flexible Conduit and the included conduit adapter simplify installation and provide strain relief, improving cable management and extending component life. With a temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C and 250 mating cycles, this connector is engineered for reliability in harsh industrial climates, hot factories, and vibrating machinery. Regulatory compliance and durable materials—neoprene insert, UV resistance, and gold plating—support long-term performance with minimal maintenance.

FAQs
To install the UTS6FC12E10S with a straight backshell, begin with de-energized equipment and the mating plug in position. Align the 1/3 bayonet coupling, insert the 10-contact assembly (gold-plated solder cup contacts), and rotate to lock. Attach the conduit adapter for strain relief, then verify IP68 sealing and proper mating with the corresponding receptacle.
The connector carries a current rating of 10 A UL and 16 A IEC, with a test current of 10 A UL, 16 A IEC, and 7 A CSA. It supports up to 500 V test voltage (CSA/UL) and 300 V (IEC). This ensures safe operation for typical control circuits and field power feeds when installed per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Yes. The device carries IP68 sealing, UV resistance, and environmental durability, including resistance to basic bath and exposure to oils and gasoline. A salt spray tolerance of 500 hours further demonstrates its suitability for washdown facilities and outdoor installations, provided you select the correct mating pair and seal assembly.
The connector complies with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, UL 1977, IEC 61984, and ROHS exemption 6.c. This combination supports regulatory acceptance in North American and international projects, with additional REACH considerations as applicable to your geography and industry requirements.
Plan for quick maintenance with its 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight backshell, enabling fast mating and demating. The 250 mating cycles and gold-plated contacts reduce wear and resistance buildup, lowering maintenance costs. The conduit adapter and neoprene insert enhance resilience against vibration, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure, delivering reliable performance and predictable uptime in automation and control panels.
