Sealed IP68/69K design with a 1/3 bayonet coupling provides superior ingress protection, extending uptime in wet, dusty, and wash-down environments. Business impact: minimized unscheduled downtime and reduced field service costs; application: automated welding cells, packaging lines, and outdoor equipment. The 14-position, gold-plated solder cup contacts offer low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, delivering reliable power and signal transmission across harsh conditions. Business impact: improved reliability and reduced rework; application: CNC machines, robot arms, and control panels. The backshell with a sealing gland supports a wide cable range from 3 to 12 mm, and the straight plug orientation simplifies installation, saving assembly time on crowded harnesses. Business impact: faster install, easier maintenance; application: panel mounting and retrofit projects. The connector supports up to 250 V and up to 4.5 A in UL and IEC ratings, with a mating cycle specification of 250, ensuring long-term lifecycle; application: field-deployed control harnesses and sensor arrays. Operating temperature from -40 to 105 C enables use in extreme environments, delivering consistent performance. Business impact: expanded operational envelope and reduced climate-related failures; application: outdoor equipment and refrigerated or heat-intensive lines. The lightweight plastic shell (66.7 mm × 29.7 mm × 29.7 mm) and 33.7 g weight support compact, space-saving installations, while meeting stringent industrial standards and certifications. Business impact: space optimization and easier compliance with enclosure constraints; application: compact control cabinets and portable automation setups.

FAQs
The 1/3 bayonet coupling is designed for quick, secure mating. Use the straight plug orientation with the backshell gland to seal the assembly, ensuring the cable diameter stays within 3 to 12 mm. Confirm contact alignment and rotate the bayonet until it clicks into place to achieve IP68/69K protection. This minimizes rework and ensures reliable ingress protection in automated lines.
The connector supports 4.5 A per UL and 5 A per IEC, with a maximum rated voltage of 250 V (CSA/UL) and 32 V IEC in certain configurations. It uses gold-plated solder cup contacts with 14 circuits and a 14-position layout, suitable for both power and signal wiring in industrial automation.
Yes. It is rated IP68 with 69K sealing in unmated conditions and operates from -40 °C to 105 °C. The UV-resistant plastics and resistant materials protect against exposure to acids, oils, and solvents, making it appropriate for outdoor machinery, wash-down facilities, and chemically challenging settings.
This UTS6JC12E14S complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and RoHS exemptions (6.c). These certifications support regulatory acceptance in many global markets and help streamline certification during system integration and product approvals.
With 250 mating cycles and corrosion-resistant gold contacts, maintenance intervals are extended and downtime is reduced. Its compact, lightweight design simplifies harness routing and reduces panel space requirements, contributing to lower installation costs and faster system upgrades.
