IP68/IP69K sealing and environmental resilience are engineered to withstand dust, water, and high-pressure ingress, reducing unplanned downtime and extending service intervals in outdoor or wet facilities. The business impact is clear: higher equipment uptime and lower maintenance costs in process lines and packaging systems, supported by fire & smoke I2F3 ratings for compliance in safety-critical environments. Applications include rugged automation, material handling, and outdoor machinery where ingress protection and long-term reliability matter. The 6-pin configuration with a straight plug and 1/3 bayonet coupling simplifies assembly and mating operations, delivering faster harnessing and improved vibration resistance—especially in conveyors and robotic cells. Crimp contacts and a backshell sealing gland provide robust sealing at 1.5–8 mm cable diameters, enabling faster field installations and consistent IP protection. Material choices—polyamide insert and plastic shell—plus a compact 63.2 mm length and 26.7 mm width support tight panel layouts and lightweight harness design, while maintaining mechanical stiffness and EMI resistance. Compliance with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 reinforces safety and interchangeability across global markets, complemented by RoHS/REACH adherence and salt spray resistance for longevity in aggressive environments.

FAQs
Install with the backshell sealing gland seated securely to the cable entry; use the W orientation as specified for the 6‑cavity layout, and ensure the straight plug aligns with the matching receptacle. The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick, positive mating, while maintaining IP68 sealing after assembly. Use Crimp contact Terminals rated for these cavities and verify cable diameter falls within 1.5 to 8 mm for optimal seal.
This connector supports a 7 A IEC current rating (6 A UL) and a maximum of 32 V across the contacts. It is designed for short-term electrical robustness in rugged environments, and mating cycles reach about 250. When designing harnesses, keep within these limits to maintain seal integrity and long-term performance in harsh conditions.
Yes. The UTS6JC106PW is IP68 rated, with additional IEC 60529/ IP69K-inspired sealing for challenging washdown and outdoor deployments. Its sealing gland backshell, polyamide insert, and epoxy-free plastics contribute to ingress protection. For best results, ensure mating connectors are fully engaged, cable diameters are within 1.5–8 mm, and mating cycles are respected to preserve the seal over time.
The connector aligns with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 standards, supporting safety, compatibility, and interchangeability in North American and international markets. RoHS and REACH compliance are indicated for material composition, while fire and smoke ratings (I2F3 per NFF 16101/16102) add further confidence for installations in demanding environments.
Plan for a life cycle around up to 250 mating cycles, with careful mating and unmating to preserve seal integrity. The 1.5–8 mm cable range and sealing gland design simplify field assembly, reducing service time. UV resistance, salt spray tolerance, and temperature range (-40 to 105 C) support longevity in outdoor and harsh indoor facilities, lowering total cost of ownership.
