Waterproof and ruggedized sealing ensures minimal ingress in washdown and outdoor conditions, reducing corrosion risk and extending service life. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The IP68/69K rating combined with a sealing gland backshell minimizes moisture ingress and chemical attack, translating to lower maintenance intervals and fewer unplanned outages in food processing lines, mining equipment, and outdoor pumps. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With 2 gold-plated solder cup contacts and robust contact ergonomics, you gain consistent signal and power transfer across temperature swings, improving machine reliability in harsh environments such as agricultural equipment and construction hydraulics. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick, vibration‑resistant mating and easy field installation, reducing service time during harness repairs on conveyors and packaging lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 66.7 mm length, 29.7 mm width, 29.7 mm height, and 2 cavities provide a compact yet capable solution for panel‑mount or inline harness applications, saving space and weight on mobile units. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A broad operating temperature range of -40 to 105 °C, UV and chemical resistance, and 250 mating cycles ensure long‑term performance in extreme environments such as outdoor automation kiosks and mechatronic drives. Compliance with IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA C22.2 No. 182.3, and RoHS 6.c reduces risk during audits and supports multi‑regional deployments, while the gold plating on contacts minimizes contact resistance over time.

FAQs
The UTS6JC12E2S uses a straight plug with a sealing gland backshell and 1/3 Bayonet coupling. Align the mating faces, push together firmly, and rotate the bayonet until it clicks to achieve IP68/69K sealing. Ensure the cable diameter is within 3 to 12 mm and that the 2 solder cup contacts are properly soldered before mating.
It combines a robust plastic shell, Neoprene insert, and a sealing gland backshell to provide high ingress protection. The gold-plated solder contacts maintain low resistance, while the assembly resists UV exposure, gasoline, oils, and mineral oils, making it ideal for washdown zones and outdoor installations.
The connector supports 16 A per IEC and 13 A per UL with a voltage rating of 150 V IEC and 600 V UL/CSA. It has 2 contacts with gold plating in a 2‑cavity configuration, suitable for power and signal in compact harnesses.
The unit complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA‑C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications ensure safety, interoperability across regions, and reduced environmental impact for industrial systems.
Thanks to the IP68/69K sealing, high mating cycle rating of 250, UV and chemical resistance, and compact form factor, you can reduce maintenance downtime, extend service intervals, and lower harness maintenance costs in harsh environments such as mining equipment, outdoor automation, and packaging lines.
