Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 14-position solder cup contacts with gold plating deliver low contact resistance and excellent corrosion resistance, reducing fault rates and maintenance costs in control cabinets and field junctions. This translates to higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and fewer field service calls when cables run through harsh environments. Application: 14‑cavity harnesses in industrial automation panels and mobile machinery where reliable signal and power delivery are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68/69K sealing provides superior ingress protection against water, dust, and chemical exposure, enabling equipment to operate in washdown areas and outdoor installations without enclosure degradation. Application: Outdoor machinery, automated lines in wet environments, and marine-adjacent plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight plug design simplify installation and field servicing, reducing commissioning time and technician effort. Application: Rapid panel wiring and conduit‑ready assemblies. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Backshell for Flexible Conduit and neoprene insert enhance cable routing, strain relief, and environmental sealing, supporting durable, ready-to-install assemblies. Application: Complex conduit layouts and tight installation spaces. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range −40 °C to 105 °C and salt spray resistance guarantee performance in extreme climates, minimizing thermal related failures. Application: Cold outdoor weather, high-heat machinery, and exposure to solvents or fuels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 14 contacts with 250 V and 4.5 A UL / 5 A IEC ratings provide a compact yet capable interface for mixed power and signal tasks, reducing part count and improving reliability. Application: Control panels handling both low and moderate power loads. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 250 mating cycles and UV resistance extend connector life and reduce replacement cycles in equipment subjected to vibration and outdoor exposure. Application: Mobile equipment and automated systems with frequent disconnect/reconnect cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Delivered with connector and compatibility with Souriau UTS backshells enables straightforward integration into existing Souriau ecosystems. Application: Retrofit projects and multi-vendor automation environments.

FAQs
Yes. The connector uses a backshell type designed for Flexible Conduit and is delivered ready for installation with a straight plug. It supports field wiring via 14 solder cup contacts and 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick, secure assembly in confined spaces.
The UTS6FC12E14S operates from −40 °C to 105 °C and is rated at 4.5 A UL and 5 A IEC, with a voltage rating of 250 V UL/CSA and 32 V IEC. It supports 14 contacts with gold-plated solder cups for reliable, long-life connections.
Ideal for harsh environments such as outdoor automation panels, mobile machinery, and washdown or humid facilities. The IP68/69K sealing protects against water and dust ingress, while the 14-position layout accommodates multi-signal and power wiring in a compact form factor.
It complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support safety, interoperability, and regulatory adherence across global installations.
With 250 mating cycles, UV resistance, salt spray endurance, and robust corrosion protection (gold-plated contacts), it reduces maintenance frequency and part replacements. The conduit-ready backshell and plug design also minimizes installation time and field rework for automated systems.
