FAQs

The connector uses a Backshell for Flexible Conduit and a Straight backshell angle, enabling straightforward installation in fixed or modular layouts. It features a 5-position layout with a 1/3 bayonet coupling, ensuring secure mating even in vibration-prone environments. This compatibility minimizes field rework and simplifies maintenance in automation cabinets and machinery.
UTS6FC14E5SX provides 5 contacts with gold plating and Solder Cup contact type. It is rated 16 A IEC and 12 A UL/CSA, with test voltages of 150 V IEC and 600 V UL/CSA. This configuration supports reliable power delivery and signaling for motors, sensors, and controllers within compact automation assemblies.
Yes. It is IP68-rated (and 69K capable in unmated conditions) with UV resistance and environmental robustness. The insert material is neoprene, and the unit operates between -40 °C and 105 °C, with resistance to mineral oil, acids, bases, and gasoline, making it ideal for outdoor, washdown, or harsh industrial settings.
It complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and ROHS exemption 6.c, ensuring regulatory alignment for global deployments. These certifications support safe installation in industrial automation, process control, and equipment intended for stringent environmental and safety requirements.
The connector supports up to 250 mating cycles, reducing replacement frequency for frequent Maintenance cycles. Gold-plated contacts and robust IP68 sealing help maintain low contact resistance and reliability. For best ROI, inspect seals and mating interfaces during routine preventive maintenance and replace worn components before failures affect production lines.
