FAQs
Begin by selecting the correct 1/3 bayonet coupling variant and confirming the backshell is properly seated with the sealing gland. Ensure the cable diameter falls within 1.5 to 8 mm and crimp the six contact pins to the conductors with the appropriate crimp tooling. Tighten all sealing interfaces to achieve IP68 protection and verify mating cycles exceed the expected field use. This setup minimizes ingress and reduces rework during maintenance.
The UTS6JC106SW supports 7 A IEC and 6 A UL, with a test current of 7 A IEC / 6 A UL and a test voltage of 32 V IEC / 250 V CSA/UL. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 105 °C, making it suitable for extreme environments. With six female contacts, it maintains reliable conductivity while meeting global electrical safety standards.
Yes. The IP68 protection rating, UV resistance, and oil/gas/chemical resistance make it well-suited for outdoor and mobile applications. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick field mating, while the sealing gland backshell helps maintain ingress protection during harsh washdowns or exposure to the elements. It is a dependable choice for outdoor conveyors, mobile robotics, and weather-exposed machinery.
This connector adheres to IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, signaling compliance with international safety and interoperability standards. For design engineers, these certifications simplify supplier qualification, regulatory approvals, and cross-border deployments, reducing risk in multi-site or multinational automation projects.
The connector is rated for up to 250 mating cycles, providing robust lifecycle performance in maintenance-heavy installations. With its sealing gland backshell and durable plastic insert, you can expect reliable sealing and consistent electrical contact over repeated connect/disconnect cycles, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs in production lines and automated systems.
