IP68/IP69K sealing and a sealing gland backshell provide reliable ingress protection, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in washdown and outdoor environments. This translates to longer service intervals and lower repair frequency in food processing, water treatment, and outdoor automation applications. The 12-pin solder-cup contacts with gold plating offer high-reliability signal and power transfer, supporting sensors and actuators with minimal contact resistance and wear. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast mating and secure retention even under vibration, improving field assembly time and reliability in assembly lines and mobile equipment. The straight plug orientation and X-keying simplify installation in dense harnesses and tight compartments, minimizing the risk of misconnection. Operating temperature from -40 to 105 °C ensures performance across automotive, industrial, and outdoor environments, while the backshell and neoprene insert provide added chemical and UV resistance for extended lifecycle. Compatibility with Souriau UTS-series components offers scalable solutions for varying current, voltage, and pin-count requirements without rework. The combination of IP protection, rugged mating cycles (250), and RoHS-compliant materials helps reduce lifecycle costs and support regulatory alignment across multiple regions.

FAQs
The UTS6JC14E12PX features a straight plug with a sealing gland backshell and X-keying for correct orientation in Souriau UTS-series assemblies. It is designed to mate with standard UTS housing backshells and connectors in unmated configurations, supporting a reliable 12-position layout and 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick, positive engagement in confined panels and mobile equipment.
Electrical specs include a current rating of 4.5 A (UL) and 4 A (IEC), with a test current of 4.5 A UL/CSA and a test voltage of 250 V UL/CSA and 50 V IEC. Operating temperature spans from -40 °C to 105 °C, accommodating harsh industrial environments and outdoor installations without performance loss.
Yes. The UTS6JC14E12PX provides IP68 protection and a sealing gland backshell, with Neoprene insert material and UV resistance. It resists oil, mineral oil, gasoline, and acid/ basic baths, making it well-suited for washdown areas, outdoor machinery, and equipment exposed to challenging chemicals in industrial settings.
Key certifications include UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No. 182.3. The RoHS exemption 6.c status applies, and Eaton can provide further detail on compliance. These align with common industrial safety and EMI/EMC expectations, supporting use in factory automation, material handling, and processing environments.
With 250 mating cycles and gold-plated contacts, the UTS6JC14E12PX delivers durable electrical performance and repeatability. The IP68/69K sealing reduces maintenance cost by minimizing ingress-related failures, while the modular design and compatibility with Souriau UTS-series components enable scalable upgrades without rewiring, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
