Feature → Business Impact → Application: The UTS6FC1823S uses a 23‑position layout in a compact plastic shell, delivering high contact density without compromising sealing. This translates to reduced panel footprint and simplified cable management in control cabinets, robotic cells, and outdoor machinery. Application-wise it supports 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick mating, minimizing downtime during routine maintenance or field swaps. Feature → Reliability → With IP68 protection and UV resistance, the connector maintains performance in washdown zones and sunlit outdoor installations, extending service life and reducing replacement costs. Application-wise it is well suited for conveyors, packaging lines, and process equipment where moisture, dust, and vibration are prevalent. Feature → Compatibility → The conduit adapter and straight backshell enhance installation flexibility, enabling seamless integration with flexible conduit systems and improving field retrofit speed. Application-wise this supports scalable automation upgrades and retrofits with minimal rework. Feature → Compliance → IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No. 182.3 certifications help satisfy global procurement requirements, avoiding project delays and ensuring traceable safety standards. Application-wise this is vital for regulated industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and rail equipment. Feature → Lifecycle → With 250 mating cycles and crimp contacts designed for long-term wear resistance, maintenance windows shrink and total cost of ownership improves. Application-wise it supports fleet-wide asset reliability programs and predictable maintenance planning.

FAQs
Use the straight backshell with the provided conduit adapter to route cables through standard flexible conduits. Crimp 23 female contacts, mate with the corresponding plug, and ensure the 1/3 bayonet coupling is fully engaged to achieve IP68 sealing. Verify operating temperature range (-40 °C to 105 °C) and confirm the mating cycle rating of 250 is suitable for the planned maintenance interval.
The connector provides 9 A current rating per IEC and 10 A per UL, with test voltages of 63 V IEC and 500 V CSA/UL. It supports 23 contacts in a 23‑cavity layout, enabling robust distribution of signals and small‑power circuits within a single interface while maintaining safe margins in demanding environments.
Yes. With IP68 sealing, UV resistance, and materials designed to withstand mineral oil, acids, and basic baths, the UTS6FC1823S is well suited for outdoor conveyors, washdown zones, and other harsh industrial areas where moisture and dust ingress are concerns.
It complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No. 182.3, aligning with global safety and interconnection standards. This matters for procurement because it simplifies regulatory approvals, reduces certification gaps in multi-region projects, and supports supplier qualification processes in regulated industries.
With a rated 250 mating cycles, rugged polyamide shell, and crimp contact reliability, maintenance planning is predictable and downtime is minimized. The option for Last Mate First Break and the conduit adapter enhance serviceability, enabling faster spare‑parts replacements and reducing total cost of ownership across the system lifecycle.
