FAQs
Begin by selecting the UTS series mating hardware compatible with a flexible conduit backshell. Install the backshell, insert the neoprene seal, and route the conductors through the conduit. Align the Y keying and engage the 1/3 bayonet coupling until a positive click is felt. Verify pin alignment and perform a continuity check before applying power.
The 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight plug design provide secure mating with minimal risk of loosening under vibration. Its 250 mating cycles, gold-plated solder cups, and robust IP68 sealing deliver reliable connections in machinery, conveyors, and robotic systems where exposure to movement and shocks is routine.
This connector complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984. It also carries RoHS exemption 6.c and REACH compliance, and offers IP68 protection with UV resistance and environmental durability for long-term field use.
Ideal for automation and industrial equipment, including machine building, sensors networks, and outdoor control panels. Its IP68/69K sealing, flexible conduit compatibility, and 10-position layout support robust power and signal transmission in washdown, dusty, and high-vibration environments.
Yes, it is part of the UTS family and uses a Y-keyed, straight-plug orientation. Ensure the mating counterpart matches the keying, backshell, and contact count. Verify seal integrity and correct conductor sizing within the 10-contact, 10 A UL / 16 A IEC rating to guarantee reliable performance.
