IP68/69K sealing and sealing gland backshell deliver superior ingress protection, reducing downtime in washdown and outdoor environments while enabling long service life in demanding applications. Business impact: lower maintenance costs and higher equipment availability; practical application: outdoor conveyors and food-grade lines where water, dust, and oils are present. The 8 gold-plated solder cup contacts with a 1/3 bayonet coupling ensure reliable mating and low contact resistance; impact: higher electrical reliability and fewer field failures; application: automation panels and robotics in rugged facilities. Cable compatibility supports 3 to 12 mm diameters with a neoprene insert, improving installer flexibility and reducing rework; impact: faster, safer field termination in tight spaces. The compact 66.7 mm length and 29.7 mm footprint, combined with a lightweight 30.5 g shell, optimize panel real estate and total cost of ownership for high-density control cabinets. With mating cycles rated at 250 and operating temperatures from -40 to 105 °C, the solution delivers consistent performance in extreme environments; application: equipment exposed to temperature fluctuations and vibration. UL/IEC current ratings of 4.5 A (UL) and 6 A (IEC), plus 250 V test voltage, provide clear compliance status for control circuits and automation interfaces; this reduces certification lead times and supports safe integration into industrial networks. The straight plug and 1/3 bayonet locking offer straightforward installation and reliable retention in demanding installations; application: control panels in machinery and conveyors where space is constrained. Certifications including IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and ROHS exemption 6.c reinforce regulatory readiness; business value: risk mitigation and supplier confidence for global deployments.

FAQs
The connector uses a straight plug with a sealing gland backshell and a 1/3 bayonet coupling for secure, vibration‑resistant mating. It supports cable diameters from 3 to 12 mm and a compact 66.7 mm length, enabling straightforward panel mounting in tight spaces. Mating cycles reach 250, allowing repeated connections without significant wear. This makes field installation quicker and more reliable in automation cabinets.
Electrical ratings include 4.5 A UL and 6 A IEC, with a 250 V test voltage. Operating temperature spans -40 °C to 105 °C, and the unit features IP68 sealing in unmated conditions. The 8 gold‑plated solder cup contacts provide low contact resistance, suitable for demanding automation circuits while withstanding harsh environmental exposure.
Yes. The UTS6JC12E8PW offers IP68 (and IP69K readiness in unmated conditions) and UV resistance, along with resistance to gasoline, oil, mineral oil, and basic/acids as described in environmental resistance specs. This makes it well suited for outdoor equipment, conveyors, and machinery operating in washdown or chemical exposure scenarios.
It complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with ROHS exemption 6.c noted. These certifications support regulatory readiness for industrial and automation deployments across global markets, helping to simplify supplier qualification and project approvals.
With 250 mating cycles, robust IP68/69K sealing, and gold‑plated contacts, the UTS6JC12E8PW reduces maintenance and field failures, lowering total cost of ownership in automation cabinets and conveyors. Its compact form factor saves panel space, while reliable performance in -40 to 105 °C and under vibration improves uptime, enabling faster installation and predictable lifecycle costs.
