IP68/IP69K sealing combined with a 18-contact layout ensures reliable performance in dusty and submerged environments, reducing field failure risk and maintenance costs for outdoor automation and heavy equipment. The business impact is clear: prolonged uptime for conveyors, robots, and agricultural machinery, with consistent signal integrity from solder cup contacts that resist corrosion and wear. Applications such as control panels and field-mounted sensors benefit from gold-plated contacts, which minimize contact resistance and voltage drop, improving reliability in harsh industrial environments. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast mating and unmating, cutting installation time and minimizing现场 labor costs while maintaining strong vibration resistance in high-shock applications. A backshell for flexible conduit simplifies cable routing and strain relief, delivering quicker, cleaner field installs and improved protection against environmental ingress. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C broadens suitability across temperature swings, while a 250 mating cycle rating ( IEC ) and 4 A UL / 5 A IEC current capability support durable, repeatable connections for automation and control circuits. Compatibility with Souriau UTS series accessories and a straight plug orientation ensures straightforward integration into existing harnesses and panel cutouts, reducing redesign risk and procurement complexity.
