FAQs
Plan for straight plug orientation with the X keying and use the backshell designed for flexible conduit to maintain IP68 seals. The 1/3 bayonet coupling simplifies mating in confined spaces, while the neoprene insert helps seal and support the 18-contact insert, reducing ingress pathways and enabling a reliable, field-serviceable connection.
It carries an IP68 rating (unmated) with UV resistance and broad chemical resilience, including gasoline and mineral oil resistance. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C ensures performance in harsh climates, while gold-plated solder contacts maintain low contact resistance in wet conditions.
The connector supports 4 A UL and 5 A IEC current ratings, with a test current of 5 A IEC. It tolerates up to 250 V in UL/CSA configurations and 50 V in IEC applications, making it suitable for control circuits and sensor networks within industrial automation systems.
Yes. It belongs to the UTS series with a straight plug, 18 positions, 1/3 bayonet coupling, and a backshell for flexible conduit. The gold-plated Solder Cup contacts and 18-position layout are consistent with Souriau UTS components, enabling straightforward compatibility and wiring harness integration.
