Feature: IP68/IP69K sealing paired with a rugged plastic shell keeps moisture and dust out, protecting sensitive electronics in washdown and outdoor environments. The protective seal reduces unplanned downtime from ingress-related faults and extends the life of power and signal paths in harsh settings. This configuration, including a cable gland backshell, provides a complete, seal-ready assembly for rugged automation installations. Business Impact: Fewer ingress-driven faults translate to higher line uptime, lower maintenance costs, and longer asset life. Application: Ideal for outdoor machinery, manufacturing lines, food processing, and mining equipment where water jets and damp conditions are routine.\n\nFeature: Current ratings of 10 A UL and 16 A IEC, with a test current up to 16 A, support reliable power distribution through control panels and drives. Business Impact: Enables fewer parallel connectors, simpler harnessing, and lower wiring complexity while maintaining safe operating margins. Application: Suitable for motors, sensors, and power distribution in automation cabinets and robotics.\n\nFeature: 10 gold-plated solder cup contacts and a 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick, positive mating. Business Impact: Improves contact reliability under vibration and reduces maintenance intervals. Application: Robotic arms, conveyors, and CNC machinery where frequent connect/disconnect cycles occur.\n\nFeature: Wide operating temp range (-40 °C to 105 °C) and 250 mating cycles for long service life. Business Impact: Delivers stable performance across cold starts and hot enclosures, cutting replacement costs. Application: Outdoor enclosures, automotive controls, and marine-centric automation in varying climates.\n\nFeature: Cable diameter range 3–12 mm with a compact 66.7 mm body and a 29.7 mm square footprint completing the 66.7 mm length. Business Impact: Adapts to diverse harnesses, reduces custom cabling, and speeds installation. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds across industrial automation panels.\n\nFeature: Complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 and ROHS exemption 6.c. Business Impact: Aligns with regulatory requirements, simplifies supplier qualification, and supports safe, traceable procurement. Application: Control cabinets, safety-critical systems, and equipment intended for global deployment.

FAQs

Yes. The UTS6JC12E10PX uses the standard UTS family mating geometry with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and X-keying orientation. When pairing with other UTS components, ensure the same insert count and backshell type for reliable sealing. The included cable gland backshell helps maintain IP68 integrity during field swaps.
The connector operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and supports current ratings of 10 A UL and 16 A IEC, with a tested current of up to 16 A. This combination supports typical automation loads, simplifies cable sizing, and maintains performance across diverse industrial environments.
Yes. With IP68 sealing (unmated) and a sealing gland back shell, it is designed for outdoor machinery and washdown-ready applications. The rohs-compliant plastics and gold-plated contacts also contribute to corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in challenging settings.
The UTS6JC12E10PX adheres to IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No. 182.3, with ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support regulatory compliance in global markets and simplify qualification for safety-critical automation projects and equipment deployments.
Its 250 mating cycles, IP68/IP69K protection, and robust gold-plated contacts reduce service interruptions and wear-related replacements. The integrated cable gland backshell and wide cable range (3–12 mm) cut installation time and parts counts, delivering measurable uptime gains and lower total cost of ownership over the device lifecycle.
