IP68/IP69K protection keeps internal contacts shielded in wash-down zones and outdoor installations, reducing field failures and maintenance costs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The high ingress protection minimizes downtime in harsh environments like food processing and outdoor automation, enabling reliable operation of control wiring and sensor networks. 5-position layout with gold-plated solder cup contacts delivers low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, boosting signal integrity for critical sensors and actuators in machine automation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Long-term performance in harsh temps and vibrations translates to fewer re-wirings and quality issues in conveyors and packaging lines. 1/3 bayonet coupling and a straight back shell for flexible conduit streamline installation and serviceability, reducing labor time by minutes per connection and simplifying field repairs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The backshell is compatible with flexible conduits, easing harness routing in compact enclosures and on mobile equipment. Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C and 250 mating cycles ensure dependable performance across seasonal extremes and high-cycle applications like robotics and material handling. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The UV and chemical resistance, plus salt spray tolerance, improves lifecycle cost by extending service intervals in outdoor or chemical-environment installations. Compliance with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 supports regulatory alignment and third-party validation for industrial customers.

FAQs
The UTS6FC14E5SY uses a straight plug with a backshell designed for flexible conduit, plus a 1/3 Bayonet coupling for secure mating. This combination makes routing and attachment straightforward in tight or irregular spaces, while maintaining IP68/69K sealing and vibration resistance. It accommodates 5 contacts in a 14-shell size with a neoprene insert for environmental sealing, which helps prevent ingress in rugged industrial settings.
IP68/69K protection ensures the connector remains sealed against dust, moisture, and high-pressure water jets during unmated and mated conditions. This level of protection translates to reduced maintenance, fewer unplanned outages, and greater reliability for control wiring, sensors, and actuators in wash-down areas, outdoor installations, and mining or processing facilities.
The unit complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, among others. These certifications streamline regulatory validation for safety and performance, simplify supplier qualification for regulated industries, and support documentation requirements in audits. For testing, verify insulation resistance, voltage ratings, and environmental exposure against the referenced standards to ensure full alignment.
Plan for a 5-position layout with gold-plated solder cups to maintain low contact resistance over time. Use the Y-keyed mating orientation and the 1/3 Bayonet coupling to ensure secure engagement and proper alignment, reducing wear on contacts. Select the backshell for Flexible Conduit to simplify harness routing, and keep within the -40 to 105 C operating range to avoid thermal stress.
The UTS6FC14E5SY reduces downtime through robust IP68/69K protection, long service life (250 mating cycles), and reliable gold-plated contacts, lowering maintenance and replacement costs. Its quick, secure bayonet coupling accelerates installation and servicing, while its compatibility with flexible conduits minimizes labor and rework in complex harnesses, delivering lower total cost of ownership in automated lines.
