FAQs
The UTS6JC12E10SW supports a cable diameter range from 3 to 12 mm and ships with a backshell sealing gland for secure sealing. For installation, align the connector, engage with the 1/3 bayonet coupling, then lock the plug to the socket with a quarter-turn. Use appropriate strain relief and ensure the mating surfaces are clean to maintain IP68 protection. This setup reduces ingress risk and simplifies field wiring.
This connector offers 16 A IEC and 10 A UL current ratings, with test voltages of 500 V CSA/UL and 300 V IEC. It achieves IP68 protection and operates from −40 °C to 105 °C. Mating cycles are rated at 250, and contacts are gold-plated Solder Cup type, delivering reliable performance in demanding environments.
Best for industrial automation, outdoor control panels, and harsh-environment equipment such as outdoor machinery, marine systems, solar or wind installations, and mining operations. The combination of IP68/69K protection, compact footprint, and robust electrical ratings makes it ideal for reliable, maintenance-friendly connections in rugged settings.
The UTS6JC12E10SW aligns with UL 1977 and IEC 61984 standards, supports CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and is RoHS exempt under 6.c. Its IP68 rating ensures watertight performance, while the 10-contact, gold-plated solder cup configuration provides durable, compliant connections for safety-conscious OEMs and end users.
With 250 mating cycles and sealed gland backing for moisture resistance, the UTS6JC12E10SW reduces maintenance frequency and replacement costs in wash-down or outdoor environments. Its compact weight (about 32.6 g) and 66.7 mm length simplify panel integration, while gold-plated contacts minimize corrosion risk and ensure long-term reliability.
