FAQs
The UTS6JC148S is rated for up to 250 mating cycles, providing predictable lifecycle performance in assemblies with frequent connection and disconnection. This helps reduce downtime and maintenance costs in automated lines and serviceable equipment, while maintaining reliable power and signal integrity between mating halves.
Yes. The connector achieves IP68 sealing with a sealing gland backshell, and it is designed to withstand immersion and challenging outdoor conditions. It also features UV resistance and UL94 V0 flammability, making it a dependable choice for weather-exposed automation, outdoor machinery, and mobile equipment.
The plug accommodates cable diameters from 5 mm up to 14 mm, enabling flexible harness designs and reducing the need for multiple connector variants. This range supports common industrial cables used for power and signal in automated systems.
Install with the straight backplug orientation and sealing gland backshell. The coupling is 1/3 bayonet, and the assembly uses crimp contacts for eight sockets (female). With a shell size of 14 and a 71.5 mm length, ensure proper clearance and secure mating to maintain IP rating and environmental sealing.
The UTS6JC148S complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984. It also carries UL94 V0 flammability, and RoHS/REACH compliance, supporting regulatory readiness for global deployments in automotive, industrial, and process environments.
