Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68/69k waterproof rating in unmated conditions provides superior ingress protection, reducing field failures and warranty costs in outdoor equipment and dusty environments. This translates to fewer service calls and higher line availability for automated production lines and outdoor sensor networks. Feature → 10 gold-plated solder cup contacts delivers reliable electrical connectivity with corrosion resistance, improving downstream signal integrity in latency-sensitive control loops and robotic end-effectors. Application: marine, mining, and outdoor industrial installations where contact reliability matters. Feature → 250 mating cycles and a 16 A IEC / 10 A UL current rating ensure durable, repeatable connections for equipment that cycles frequently, boosting maintenance cycles and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). Application: conveyor systems, wind turbines, and portable test rigs. Feature → 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight plug with a backshell sealing gland streamline quick assembly and rework, reducing installation time by minutes per connector and lowering labor costs. Application: panel-to-device harnesses in control cabinets and machine enclosures. Feature → Operating temperature range -40 °C to 105 °C and UV and chemical resistance (mineral oil, acid/ basic baths) support long-term reliability in harsh environments. Application: outdoor automation, robotics in harsh indoor/outdoor spaces, and marine equipment. These specifications align with long-tail keywords such as IP68 waterproof connector, Souriau UTS series, bayonet coupling, sealing gland backshell, gold-plated solder contacts, and industrial automation connectors, enabling robust, compliant deployments while addressing common objections about sealing performance and maintenance overhead.

FAQs
The UTS6JC12E10PY is a straight plug with a sealing gland backshell designed to mate with standard Souriau UTS series backshells. Its 1/3 bayonet coupling allows quick, secure mating, while the 3–12 mm cable diameter range accommodates common field cables. For best results, ensure the mating interface is clean and the undersized seals are correctly seated before engagement.
Key specs include 10 contacts with gold plating, current ratings of 16 A (IEC) / 10 A (UL), test voltage of 300 V (IEC) / 500 V (UL/CSA), and 250 mating cycles. These parameters translate to reliable power and signal transfer in automated systems, with adequate voltage headroom and service life for frequent connect/disconnect cycles.
Yes. It achieves IP68 protection (unmated conditions) and 105 °C operating temperature range, plus resistance to UV exposure, mineral oil, acids, bases, gasoline, and other common contaminants. This makes it well-suited for outdoor machinery, marine equipment, and harsh industrial process environments.
The connector complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemptions. These certifications support electrical safety, interoperability, and environmental compliance, reducing regulatory risk in regulated markets and easing supplier qualification for defense, energy, and heavy industry applications.
With sealing gland backshells and robust IP68/69k sealing, maintenance intervals can be extended, reducing field maintenance and downtime. The durable mating cycle rating and corrosion-resistant contacts improve longevity, lowering replacement costs and boosting overall equipment availability in high-use automation scenarios.
