FAQs
The UTS6JC14E18PX is part of the Souriau UTS family and uses a straight plug with a 1/3 Bayonet coupling, designed to mate with compatible UTS receptacles. It features a X orientation and a sealing gland backshell, enabling straightforward integration with existing Souriau harnesses and backshell accessories while maintaining IP68 protection. With 18 contacts and a 71.5 mm length, it fits common industrial harness configurations and simplifies field replacements without major system redesigns.
Key specs include a current rating of 4 A UL and 5 A IEC (test current also 4 A CSA), test voltages of 50 V IEC and 250 V UL/CSA, and 18 conductive positions with gold-plated solder cup contacts. The connector supports 250 mating cycles, operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, and features IP68 protection, which are critical for ensuring reliable control circuits and sensor networks in harsh environments.
Yes. The unit is UV resistant with no degradation after prolonged exposure and is designed for long-term outdoor resilience. Its IP68 rating, salt spray resistance, and sealed backshell further protect the contacts from moisture, dust, and corrosive elements, making it a robust choice for outdoor automation, mining, and agricultural applications.
This connector aligns with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984, and RoHS exemptions (6.c). These certifications ensure electrical safety, compatibility with North American and international panels, and environmental compliance. For regulated industries, such as process automation and machinery manufacturing, these certifications help streamline approval processes and support compliance audits.
Install with the backshell sealing gland and ensure the cable diameter stays within 5–14 mm. Use the 1/3 Bayonet coupling for secure mating and verify IP68 sealing after assembly. Plan for 250 mating cycles, select appropriate mating receptacles, and route cables to minimize bending stress. Regular inspection of solder cups and contact plating helps sustain electrical integrity and reduces maintenance overhead over the equipment life cycle.
