The UTS6JC12E8PX offers IP68/69K sealing with a sealing gland backshell, delivering watertight integrity in wet or dusty environments and minimizing corrosion-driven downtime, which translates to lower maintenance costs and longer service intervals in outdoor automation installations. Its 8 gold-plated solder cup contacts ensure reliable, low-impedance connections that resist degradation over time, improving signal integrity for critical control and sensing loops. With a 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight plug orientation, mating is quick and vibration-resistant, reducing install time and rework during panel wiring. The backshell and neoprene insert combine to provide durable environmental sealing while accommodating cable diameters from 3 to 12 mm, enabling flexible on-site routing and compatibility with a wide range of field devices. Designed for 6 A IEC (4.5 A UL/CSA) and up to 250 V, it supports common automation peripherals with safety margins. 66.7 mm length and compact 29.7 mm profile simplify panel penetration and maintain a clean enclosure. The 250 mating cycles specification offers predictable lifecycle planning, while UV and chemical resistance extend service life in challenging industrial environments. Compatibility with the Souriau UTS series backshells enhances installation efficiency and spare-part availability for refurbished or expanding systems.

FAQs
The UTS6JC12E8PX uses a straight plug with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and a sealing-gland backshell, compatible with Souriau UTS series backshells. It supports cable diameters from 3 to 12 mm, enabling flexible routing in panel cutouts and field installations. This combination streamlines installation, reduces the risk of misalignment, and ensures a reliable seal once mated.
The connector is rated for 6 A IEC and 4.5 A UL/CSA, with test voltages up to 250 V (UL/CSA) and 32 V (IEC). It supports 8 contacts with gold-plated solder cups, and a mating cycle life of about 250 cycles, providing dependable performance for routine maintenance cycles and rapid field swaps.
Yes. It is an IP68-rated device, with unmated protection, and features a sealing gland backshell along with neoprene insert material to resist moisture, UV exposure, and various fluids. The design also offers resistance to salt spray (500 hours) and broad chemical exposure, making it ideal for outdoor enclosures, rain-prone areas, and wash-down environments.
The connector complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, with ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support safety, performance, and environmental compliance across North American and European markets, helping with procurement and installation authorizations in regulated environments.
With 250 mating cycles, gold-plated contacts, and robust environmental resistance (UV, oils, acids, and salt spray), the UTS6JC12E8PX reduces maintenance downtime and part replacements. Its reliable sealing and easy mating save labor costs during installation and service, while compatibility with existing Souriau UTS backshells simplifies spares management and lifecycle planning.
