Feature → Business Impact → Application: The connector offers 12 female contacts in a straight plug with 1/3 bayonet coupling, enabling rapid, tool-free mating and reliable high-vibration operation; this reduces installation time and field failure rates in mobile machinery and robotics. The IP68 rating and sealing gland backshell minimize water ingress and corrosion risks, boosting uptime for outdoor conveyors and washdown environments while cutting warranty costs. The polyamide insert and plastic shell provide durable insulation and chemical resistance, improving long-term performance in harsh oils and UV exposure encountered in construction and agricultural equipment. With operating temperatures from -40 °C to 105 °C and a mating cycle specification of 250, maintenance windows are simplified and routine replacements become predictable, ensuring compliance in regulated facilities. The 12‑contact arrangement supports complex sensing and power delivery needs in industrial automation panels and control cabinets.

FAQs
For installation, use the straight plug with the sealing gland backshell to ensure IP68/69K protection. The 12 crimp contacts require compatible crimp tooling and a 5–14 mm cable diameter range. The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick yet secure mating, while the backshell and gland sealant protect against moisture ingress in washdown and outdoor environments. Ensure mating cycles are within the 250-cycle specification to maintain connector integrity.
Yes. The UTS6JC1492S complies with IEC 61984 and UL 1977 standards, along with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, ensuring regulatory alignment for control panels, industrial automation equipment, and safety-critical machinery. This makes it suitable for equipment destined for North American and international markets, reducing certification hurdles during integration.
Ideal for rugged outdoor automation, mobile machinery, and energetic robotics, the UTS6JC1492S supports harsh environments thanks to its IP68/69K protection, 12‑position contact layout, and sealing gland backshell. It is well-suited for conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and outdoor sensors requiring reliable, sealed power and signal transmission with minimal maintenance.
This connector offers IP68 protection, UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 compliance, which are critical for ensuring long-term reliability in damp or dusty environments. The protection class reduces ingress of water and dust, while the safety certifications support compliance during audits and maintenance, lowering risk in regulated industries.
The 12‑contact, IP68/69K sealed design minimizes field faults due to moisture and contamination, reducing repair time and spare-part usage. With a mating cycle of 250 and a wide operating temperature range, the connector supports longer service intervals and fewer replacements in harsh environments, delivering lower lifecycle costs and improved equipment availability.
