The UTS6JC10E98SW features a straight plug with a sealing gland backshell that delivers IP68 protection in unmated conditions, reducing ingress risk during device coupling in challenging environments. This directly improves equipment uptime and lowers maintenance cost by simplifying field replacements and reducing the need for frequent resealing. The six gold-plated solder cup contacts provide reliable electrical performance for a 7 A IEC / 6 A UL current rating and 250 V test voltage, with mating cycles rated at 250, ensuring durable service in production lines and outdoor installations. The compact 63.2 mm length and 26.7 mm width/height, along with a 1.5–8 mm cable diameter range, support tight panel mounting and versatile cable routing in compact enclosures. The backshell is designed for easy gland insertion, supporting quick field wiring with consistent sealing and strain relief. The device is UV resistant and resistant to gasoline, oil, and acids, enabling use in demanding environments where exposure to chemicals and sunlight is common. The device’s 1/3 Bayonet coupling and W orientation provide reliable mating in tight spaces, while the 6-contact configuration supports multi-signal applications without added connectors. Availability of a straight plug with an included connector option reduces installation steps and part numbers, delivering a cost-efficient, scalable solution for automation and machinery installations. In practice, this translates to faster assembly, lower spare parts inventory, and improved total cost of ownership for food processing lines, packaging machines, or outdoor equipment.
