IP68/69K sealing and rugged plastic housing protect delicate circuits from moisture, dust, and chemical exposure, reducing ingress-related failures and extending equipment uptime. This translates to tangible reliability gains, fewer warranty calls, and lower maintenance overhead in outdoor automation cells and marine-grade installations. The 10-contact arrangement supports multi-signal control and sensor bundles, enabling compact harnessing while maintaining signal integrity through gold-plated solder cup contacts and corrosion resistance. Quick mating via 1/3 bayonet coupling and a straight backshell streamline installation in tight enclosures, cutting downtime during field assembly and servicing. A neoprene insert with a sealing gland backshell provides robust ingress protection, UV resistance, and long-term performance even after exposure to harsh environments. With mating cycles rated at 250 and a broad cable diameter range (3–12 mm), this connector balances durability with flexibility for evolving automation layouts. Compliance to RoHS exemption 6.c and established automotive and industrial standards supports cost-effective procurement and fewer redesigns across production lines.

FAQs
To install, align the Y-keyed plug with the mating receptacle, engage the 1/3 bayonet coupling until it seats, then secure the Sealing Gland backshell to the cable gland. Ensure the insert is Neoprene and the contacts are gold-plated for corrosion resistance. Verify IP68 integrity after installation and inspect cable diameter within the 3–12 mm range for a reliable seal.
The UTS6JC12E10SY carries a 16 A current rating per IEC, 10 A per UL, and supports up to 300 V IEC. Testing also covers 7 A CSA in certain configurations. These ratings enable reliable power and signal transmission for multi-circuit harnesses in automation panels while maintaining protection against short circuits and arcing under normal operating conditions.
Yes. It is rated IP68, with a sealing gland backshell and neoprene insert designed to withstand moisture ingress, UV exposure, and rugged vibrations. The combination of gold-plated contacts and robust plastics ensures long-term performance in harsh outdoor settings, including outdoor equipment, conveyors in damp facilities, and marine or agricultural machinery.
This connector complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support safe integration into automotive, industrial automation, and machinery control systems, while enabling compliance signaling for regulated equipment and supplier documentation.
The 250 mating cycles rating indicates strong lifecycle performance for frequently serviced automation lines. Gold-plated solder cups resist oxidation, reducing contact resistance over time. The IP68/69K sealing, UV resistance, and 66.7 mm length with a 3–12 mm cable range give installers flexibility and lower replacement risk, contributing to improved total cost of ownership in rugged environments.
