IP68/69K waterproof rating provides unmated protection against moisture ingress, reducing corrosion risk and unexpected downtime in washdown and outdoor environments. This protective performance lowers maintenance costs and extends component life on conveyors, robotics, and field-mounted panels. In practice, the UTS6JC12E2P delivers reliable sealing despite exposure to oils, fuels, and cleaning agents, aligned with IEC 61984 expectations in cabling connectors. Gold-plated solder cup contacts, two-pin configuration, deliver stable electrical performance and low contact resistance even under vibration. The result is dependable power and signal transfer for CNC machines, packaging lines, and automated material handling, reducing intermittent failures and the need for frequent contact cleaning. 1/3 bayonet coupling enables rapid mating and secure locking in tight panel spaces, cutting installation time and minimizing error during field wiring. Mating cycles reach 250, supporting routine maintenance without compromising connection integrity, which translates to lower lifecycle costs. Backshell features a sealing gland and a neoprene insert with plastic shell, shell size 12, and a 3 to 12 mm cable diameter range. This versatility simplifies cable management, supports ready-made backshell options, and ensures reliable IP68 protection in unmated conditions when cables are routed through rugged environments. Operating temperature spans −40 to 105 C, with UV resistance and compatibility with RoHS exemptions, enabling use in extreme industrial settings. The connector is designed for field reliability with a 66.7 mm length and 29.7 mm footprint, delivering long service life and predictable performance across demanding automation tasks.

FAQs

The UTS6JC12E2P uses a straight backshell with a sealing gland to create a watertight seal around the cable. Align the 1/3 bayonet coupling, insert the two gold-plated solder cup contacts, and rotate to lock. Use appropriate strain relief and ensure the cable diameter falls within 3 to 12 mm for a proper seal. Confirm mating cycles and environmental rating after installation to maintain IP68 performance.
The UTS6JC12E2P supports up to 250 mating cycles, indicating strong durability for frequent connect/disconnect cycles. It has a current rating of 13 A (UL) and 16 A (IEC), with a voltage rating of 150 V (IEC) and 600 V (UL/CSA) to support typical industrial power and signal needs.
Yes. The connector provides IP68 protection (unmated) and is designed for harsh environments, including washdown and outdoor installations. Its neoprene insert, sealing gland backshell, and epoxy-coated plastics contribute to resilience against oils, solvents, UV exposure, and temperature cycling, making it well-suited for service in food processing, packaging lines, and outdoor automation panels.
The UTS6JC12E2P aligns with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 and UL 1977 certifications, and IEC 61984 compliance, with RoHS exemption 6.c noted. This combination supports regulatory acceptance across North American and international markets and helps simplify supplier qualification and end-user safety requirements.
The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast mating in tight spaces, reducing install time and labor costs. Its 250 mating cycles and IP68/UV-resistant design lower maintenance and replacement costs, while gold-plated contacts minimize contact resistance and signal loss. Overall, this translates to lower downtime, longer service intervals, and improved uptime for automated lines and robotic systems.
