IP68/69K waterproof protection combined with a straight plug and 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers fast mating and robust sealing for outdoor equipment and washdown areas. Business impact: minimized ingress risk and reduced service calls in critical systems; application: outdoor machinery, agricultural equipment, and water‑environment automation. The 23‑cavity socket with polyamide insert and plastic shell keeps the assembly lightweight yet sturdy, supporting easy field routing and installation with flexible conduit backshell. Benefit: easier handling during installation and maintenance; application: compact control panels and portable machines. Electrical performance supports 10 A UL and 9 A IEC ratings, with 500 V test voltage, and 7 A CSA test current, ensuring safe operation across regions. Application: machine builds requiring durable, compliant power and signal connectivity. The connector is rated for 250 mating cycles, UV resistance, and broad environmental tolerance including oils, acids, and gasoline, plus a UL94 V0 flammability rating and salt spray endurance. Benefit: long service life in demanding environments, reducing replacement costs. Backed by a straight backshell for flexible conduit, this design supports reliable routing and quick field upgrades, addressing common objections about install time and compatibility. Industry insight indicates that 23‑way, bayonet‑coupled connectors are favored in heavy equipment for their balance of density, sealing, and ease of maintenance. The UTS6FC1823SX is therefore well‑suited to automation and process industries aiming for uptime and regulatory confidence.

FAQs
The UTS6FC1823SX uses a straight backshell and is designed for a flexible conduit backshell, with a 1/3 bayonet coupling for fast assembly. It supports a dedicated conduit adapter and is delivered with a connector, simplifying installation in control panels and field enclosures. Ensure your conduit diameter matches the backshell specification and follow standard IEC/UL mounting practices.
Electrical specs include a current rating of 10 A UL and 9 A IEC, with a test current of 7 A CSA and a test voltage of 500 V UL/CSA. The connector handles up to 23 contacts with a 61.1 mm length and a 23‑cavity layout. Compliant with UL 1977 and IEC 61984, it also aligns with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, supporting safe, cross‑border use in automation projects.
Yes. The plug is IP68 rated (water and dust ingress protection) and designed for UV resistance and resistance to oil, acids, gasoline, and basic baths. It also features a UL94 V0 flammability rating and salt spray endurance, making it well suited for outdoor installations, food processing, and heavy equipment that require rigorous washdown resistance.
Key considerations include using the straight backshell with flexible conduit, ensuring correct mating orientation (X) and proper alignment for 23 contacts, and leveraging the 250 mating cycles spec for maintenance planning. If first‑mate/last‑break capabilities are required, these options can be specified to match your maintenance procedures, minimizing downtime during field swaps.
The UTS6FC1823SX is compliant with UL 1977 and IEC 61984, with CSA C22.2 No. 182.3 support noted. It also meets RoHS/REACH environmental standards and UL94 V0 flammability. These certifications ensure electrical safety and regulatory compatibility across North American and international markets for industrial automation projects.
