FAQs
The UTS6JC14E12P is a 12-contact straight-plug connector with a 14-shell size and a sealing gland backshell designed for Souriau UTS series applications. It supports 5–14 mm cable diameters, fits compact control panels, and pairs with mating halves built for IP68/69K environments, making it suitable for automation equipment, outdoor machinery, and wash-down areas.
This connector provides a 4 A IEC current rating, 4.5 A UL/CSA capability, and a voltage rating up to 250 V. It features 12 gold-plated solder cup contacts, a 1/3 bayonet coupling, and a straight plug orientation, with a mating life of about 250 cycles. These specs support reliable control signals and modest power across demanding environments.
Yes. The design features IP68 sealing and a corrosion-resistant contact finish, plus a neoprene insert and sealing gland backshell to resist oil, acids, bases, and UV exposure. This makes it well-suited for wash-down facilities, outdoor installations, and equipment subjected to routine cleaning and chemical exposure.
The connector aligns with IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and UL 1977 guidelines, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance for global deployments, simplify supplier qualification, and support product traceability in certified electrical assemblies.
Ensure the cable diameter stays within 5–14 mm and use the sealing gland backshell to maintain IP68/69K integrity. Mating should follow the 1/3 bayonet coupling for secure retention, and consider the operating range of -40 to 105 C for outdoor or extreme environments. Regular checks on contact plating and seals will extend service life and maintain performance.
