IP68/IP69K sealing combined with a 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers immersion-ready performance for harsh environments. This design minimizes ingress of water, oil, and contaminants, reducing failure rates and warranty costs. Applications include outdoor automation, mobile machinery, and washdown areas where uptime directly drives production efficiency. 10 contact positions with gold-plated solder cups ensure reliable signal integrity and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Gold plating maintains low contact resistance and long-term performance even under frequent mating cycles. Application: sensor bundles and control circuits where precise signal transfer matters. Mating cycles rated at 250 and a broad operating temperature from -40 °C to 105 °C enable dependable service in cold starts and hot operations. This translates to extended connector life, lower maintenance intervals, and reduced total cost of ownership. Application: equipment exposed to wide temperature swings and high vibrations in field deployments. Flexible cable compatibility from 3 to 12 mm diameters, with a sealing gland backshell and a straight plug design, simplifies installation and reduces harness rework. This supports faster deployments and easier stocking for maintenance teams. Application: panel-to-harness connections in compact, sealed interfaces for rugged machinery. Compliance with RoHS, UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA standards, along with impressive salt spray resistance (500 hours) and UV endurance, ensures regulatory alignment and long-term durability. This minimizes compliance risk while enabling multi-region deployments across automation projects.

FAQs
The UTS6JC12E10S uses a straight plug with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and a sealing gland backshell. It is designed to fit 3–12 mm cable diameters and supports 10 contact positions. For correct installation, ensure the backshell is sealed and that the mating connector aligns with the N orientation for reliable IP68 sealing and vibration resistance.
This connector complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and RoHS exemptions. It offers IP68 protection, a 16 A IEC current rating, 300 V IEC test voltage, and 250 mating cycles, making it suitable for global industrial applications requiring regulatory conformity and durable field performance.
Yes. The IP68/IP69K-rated plastic housing with a sealing gland backshell is designed for immersion, oil, and chemical resistance, plus UV stability. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C and with salt spray tolerance, it is well-suited for outdoor automation, mobile machinery, and washdown areas where harsh conditions and uptime are critical.
Key specs include 66.7 mm depth, 29.7 mm height and width, and a weight of 32.6 g for a 10-position connector. The backshell is straight with a sealing gland, and the connector supports 3–12 mm cable diameters. Plan for 66.7 mm of insertion depth and ensure the mating connector aligns for quick, reliable engagement.
With 250 mating cycles, robust sealing, and high resistance to fluids and UV exposure, this connector reduces field maintenance and downtime. The gold-plated contacts maintain low resistance over time, while regulatory compliance simplifies multi-region deployments, delivering lower warranty exposure and faster installation across international automation projects.
