IP68/69K waterproof protection in unmated conditions reduces water ingress and corrosion, increasing uptime and reliability in outdoor and wash-down environments. This translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer unplanned outages in harsh industrial settings, such as manufacturing floors and outdoor machinery. The 18-pin, gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver dependable conductivity and long-term signal integrity, supporting precise control and data transmission across complex automation networks. The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick mating and secure retention, improving installation speed and reducing technician time on harness assemblies. A Sealing Gland backshell protects cable entries from moisture and dust, helping maintain enclosure integrity and simplifying field repairs. Operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C enables operation in extreme climates without performance loss, while a mating cycle life of 250 ensures durability for high-use applications. Cable diameter compatibility from 5 to 14 mm offers design flexibility for diverse harnesses, reducing the need for multiple connectors. Overall, the UTS6JC14E18PY combines rugged sealing, robust electrical performance, and easy installation to boost productivity in control panels, robotics, and remote-sensing applications.
