The IP68/69K protection rating in unmated conditions delivers reliable sealing against moisture, dust, and immersion, reducing unexpected field failures and warranty costs in outdoor or washdown environments. This translates to lower maintenance cycles and higher line uptime in automated packaging and conveying systems, while enabling compliant integration with standard IP-rated cabinets and enclosures. With a 6 A current rating (UL) and 7 A (IEC), the connector supports robust actuation and sensor networks without oversizing harnesses, improving wiring density and total system efficiency. Gold-plated solder cup contacts offer corrosion resistance and a dependable electrical path in dynamic machines, which lowers contact resistance drift and rework during installations in vibration-prone facilities. The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick, secure mating even in confined spaces, shortening assembly time and reducing dirty or misaligned connections in field terminations. A sealing gland backshell and neoprene insert accommodate cable diameters from 1.5 to 8 mm, enabling flexible harness configurations without re-terminations and enhancing installation speed. Operating from -40 to 105 C and rated for up to 250 V, this plug supports heavy-duty industrial use across environments, minimizing the need for alternate cabling choices. With 63.2 mm length, 26.7 mm width, 26.7 mm height, and a weight of 21.1 g, engineers gain a compact yet robust interface that fits tight panel spaces. The Souriau UTS series’ proven compatibility with standard mating interfaces reduces design risk and simplifies inventory with a single solution across multiple projects.

FAQs
The connector uses a straight backshell with a sealing gland and delivers a 1/3 bayonet coupling, ensuring secure, fast mating in tight spaces. It is designed to mate with the corresponding UTS series receptacles and supports field termination with the provided accessories. The 6-pin, gold-plated solder cup contacts provide reliable electrical connections even in environments with vibrations and contaminants.
Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 105 °C. The current rating is 6 A (UL) and 7 A (IEC), with a test current of 6 A (CSA/IEC/UL). The test voltage is 250 V (UL/CSA) and 50 V (IEC). These specs support reliable performance in demanding automation and control circuits while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Yes. The connector achieves IP68 protection (unmated) and UV resistance, with resistance to oils, mineral oils, gasoline, and acids, making it suitable for outdoor installations, wash-down areas, and harsh industrial environments. Its sealing gland backshell and neoprene insert contribute to durable performance under moisture, dust, and chemical exposure.
The product complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No. 182.3, IEC 61984, and ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications ensure regulatory compliance for electrical safety, compatibility with North American and international standards, and environmental responsibility. This helps reduce risk during design validation and accelerates time-to-market for equipment using the connector.
Cable diameter range is 1.5 to 8 mm, with a sealing gland backshell designed to accommodate standard harnesses. The plug is a straight type with 6 solder cup contacts, gold plated, and a 63.2 mm length. Mating cycles reach 250, so expect reliable repeated connections in field service. Ensure the mating orientation is aligned with the X code for correct keying and polarity.
