FAQs
Start by selecting the straight backshell version designed for flexible conduit. The 15-contact plug uses gold-plated solder cups for secure field terminations and a 1/3 bayonet mating system for quick installation. Ensure correct keying (W) to prevent misalignment, mate with the corresponding Souriau UTS socket, and use the 61 mm length and 34.4 mm height to fit your enclosure.
The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides a positive lock, resisting unmating under vibration, while 15 gold-plated solder cups deliver reliable electrical connections for long-term service. With mating cycles rated at 250 and a robust neoprene insert, the connector maintains integrity in dynamic settings. The IP68 protection and full enclosure sealing minimize ingress from dust, water, and oil, reducing failure modes.
UTS6FC14E15SW is part of Eaton Souriau UTS series and matches standard UTS sockets with W-keying and 1/3 bayonet coupling for rapid assemblies. It is well-suited for equipment that requires IP68/69k protection, such as outdoor automation, conveyor systems, and mobile machinery. The 15-pin layout supports mixed signal and power wiring, while the neoprene insert and backshell for flexible conduit streamline field installation.
UTS6FC14E15SW carries IP68 protection and complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 requirements, with RoHS exemptions where applicable. This certification set facilitates supplier qualification, OEM integration, and global product stewardship, ensuring safe operation in wet environments and helping meet regulatory and customer-specification demands. RoHS exemption 6.c is noted in compliance statements.
By reducing ingress risk and improving connection integrity, this connector lowers maintenance visits and unplanned downtime on harsh-line machinery. Its 250 mating cycles and gold-plated contacts support long service life, while IP68/IP69k protection minimizes water-related faults. The result is lower spare-part costs and less off-line repair time, boosting overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
