IP68/69K waterproofing protects 15-contact interfaces in wash-down and outdoor environments, reducing downtime and warranty risk. This directly translates to fewer service calls and longer equipment life in harsh factories and outdoor installations. The 15 gold-plated solder cups provide robust signal integrity and corrosion resistance, supporting reliable control and sensing in demanding automation networks. The 1/3 bayonet coupling paired with a straight plug enables quick, tool-free mating with secure retention, improving installation efficiency and reducing commissioning time in multi-cabinet assemblies. A backshell designed for flexible conduit simplifies routing and protects terminations, resulting in easier field upgrades and lower installation costs. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C and rated up to 12 A UL / 4 A IEC, it supports extreme industrial temperatures and high-current control paths. With 250 mating cycles, the UTS6FC14E15SX offers durable performance and predictable maintenance cycles, delivering strong total cost of ownership. The Souriau UTS series compatibility ensures a consistent family of connectors for scalable automation projects, while the conformance to UL 1977 and IEC 61984 reduces procurement risk and accelerates engineering validation.
