The IP68/69K sealing and unmated protection of the UTS6FC12E10SW ensure reliable performance in wet and dusty environments. This sealed interface reduces ingress during routing and field changes, while the 1/3 bayonet coupling makes mating straightforward in confined spaces. The straight backshell and conduit adapter further streamline installation in outdoor equipment and mobile machinery. Ten gold-plated solder cups deliver a robust electrical interface. Rated 16 A IEC, 10 A UL, and 7 A CSA, with a test voltage up to 500 V CSA/UL and 300 V IEC, the connector supports a wide range of sensors, actuators, and drive signals. The 10-position layout and mating cycles of 250 ensure reliable service across typical OEM lifecycles. Backshell and compatibility features streamline installation and protection. The backshell is designed for flexible conduit, with a W orientation and straight plug to align with existing harnesses and minimize misconnection risk. The unit ships delivered with the connector, simplifying assembly in the panel or on the line and supporting faster field integration. Environmental durability and material design add resilience. The shell is plastic, the insert neoprene, and the unit tolerates -40 to 105 °C, UV exposure, oil, gasoline, and mineral oils, with salt spray endurance. The 61 mm length, 29.7 mm width and height, and 26.1 g weight contribute to lightweight, space-efficient assemblies even in crowded panels. Compliance and lifecycle considerations support regulatory alignment and cost efficiency. It meets CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984, UL 1977, and RoHS exemption 6.c, while salt spray endurance and 250 mating cycles help control maintenance and warranty exposure. With conduit-ready backplanes and straightforward integration, procurement, maintenance planning, and field service become more predictable.
