FAQs
The UTS6FC14E15SY uses a Backshell type described as For Flexible Conduit and is delivered with the connector, with a Straight back and a Y orientation. Plan for compatible conduit sizes, ensure proper strain relief, and verify that the 1/3 Bayonet coupling can be reached without cable damage. This setup simplifies field cabling while maintaining IP68 integrity.
Current rating is 4 A per IEC and 12 A per UL, with mating cycles rated at 250. For applications with higher transient currents, consider derating or using appropriate protective devices. The combination supports reliable control wiring in intermittent duty cycles common in automation panels and field equipment.
Yes. The connector provides IP68 sealing and unmated IP69K protection, UV resistance, and chemical resilience, making it well-suited for outdoor robotics. Its operating temperature range of -40 to 105 °C further ensures reliable performance across varying climates. Use proper backshell and conduit to maximize ingress protection in exposed installations.
The unit supports UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 compliance, along with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications help streamline regulatory approvals in North American and global markets and support safe, compliant use in industrial controls and automation systems.
Its IP68/69K ingress protection, durable gold-plated contacts, and 250 mating cycles reduce maintenance frequency and field failure risk. The connector’s compatibility with flexible conduit, compact 15‑circuit layout, and robust environmental resistance translate to lower replacement costs, easier serviceability, and longer service life in harsh manufacturing and logistics environments.
