IP68/69K sealing provides robust protection against water and dust, reducing field failures and maintenance costs while enabling outdoor and washdown-ready installations. The 12-contact, 14-shell-size configuration with gold-plated solder cups ensures high-integrity signal and power transfer for demanding automation tasks, improving uptime and data quality. The 1/3 bayonet coupling offers quick, tool-free mating, cutting assembly time and cutting downtime in production lines. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C expands usable life in extreme environments, lowering replacement frequency and supporting global deployment. The backshell is designed for flexible conduit, simplifying routing and weatherproofing, while the neoprene insert delivers vibration resistance and environmental sealing at connection points. With 250 mating cycles and a compact 61 mm length, the unit balances durability with space-constrained installations in robotics and conveyors. Compatibility with Souriau UTS components ensures a scalable family approach for future upgrades and retrofit projects.
