FAQs
The UTS6FC12E3PY uses a straight backshell and is designed for flexible conduit with a backshell type specification. It ships with the connector and supports straightforward field assembly via 1/3 bayonet coupling and gold-plated solder cups. Ensure correct conduit sizing and secure mounting to maintain IP68 protection during service and environmental exposure.
This connector provides a current rating of 16 A IEC and 13 A UL, with a voltage rating up to 600 V. It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and supports 250 mating cycles. With three contacts and gold-plated solder cups, it delivers reliable performance in demanding control and automation panels.
Yes. It carries IP68 protection (IP68/69K unmated), is UV resistant, and withstands oil, gasoline, and acid exposures. The design also tolerates vibrations per IEC 60512-4, making it a strong choice for outdoor machinery, food processing lines, and material handling where washdowns and harsh conditions are common.
The connector complies with ROHS exemption 6.c, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984, and UL 1977. These certifications support safety, interoperability, and regulatory compliance for global deployments, reducing supplier risk and accelerating project approvals in industrial automation and energy systems.
With 250 mating cycles, durable plastic housing, and gold-plated contacts, maintenance intervals are extended and contact resistance is minimized. The plug’s reliability lowers downtime, simplifies sourcing with standard compliance, and improves uptime in automated lines, conveyors, and robotics—driving a favorable total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
