The UTS6FC12E10SZ employs a 1/3 bayonet coupling and Z keying for secure, repeatable mating, improving install time and field reliability; this translates to lower maintenance costs and less downtime on busy lines. With 10 gold-plated solder contacts, it delivers low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, boosting uptime in harsh environments. A straight backshell and conduit adapter compatibility simplify panel routing and reduce harness complexity, while the 12 shell size supports compact layouts without sacrificing power delivery. The device sustains -40 to 105 °C operation, enabling outdoor and high-temperature applications; its 10 A UL and 16 A IEC ratings support mixed power and signal, delivering efficient, safe operation. Its 250 mating cycles offer a practical life expectancy in OEM equipment, minimizing replacement frequency and total cost of ownership. Finally, the IP68 rating in unmated conditions protects critical connections from dust, water, and immersion, even in tough industrial settings, reinforcing reliability across automation, packaging, and tooling applications.

FAQs
Yes. The UTS6FC12E10SZ is designed to fit the Souriau UTS family with the straight backshell and Z orientation, and it ships with a conduit adapter option. It uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling and a 10-position layout with gold-plated solder contacts, ensuring reliable mating with compatible UTS sockets and common backshells in field installations.
Key ratings include 10 A UL and 16 A IEC current capability, 500 V CSA/UL or 300 V IEC test voltage, and a -40 to 105 °C operating range. The connector is IP68 rated in unmated condition, supports 250 mating cycles, uses a plastic shell with neoprene insert, and features gold-plated copper contacts for low resistive losses and corrosion resistance.
Suitable for outdoor and washdown environments in industrial automation, packaging lines, machines, and remote sensors, where oil, UV exposure, and vibrations are present. The IP68/69K protection, conduit compatibility, and compact 12-shell size enable installation in tight panels. The 10-position contact layout accommodates mixed power and signal, reducing part count and simplifying harness design.
Compliances include CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984, UL 1977, and RoHS exemption 6.c, which support safety, interoperability, and environmental compliance. These approvals facilitate use in equipment meeting UL, CSA, and IEC standards. The protective IP68 rating helps meet ingress protection requirements in harsh environments, while the gold-plated contacts support reliability under demanding operating conditions.
Investing in this connector reduces downtime through a robust IP68/69K seal, high mating cycle capability (250), and durable materials that resist oil, UV, and vibration. Field-serviceable with a conduit adapter and 10-socket arrangement minimizes wiring complexity, while gold-plated contacts lower contact resistance over time. Overall, technicians benefit from quicker installs, longer service life, and lower total cost of ownership.
