IP68/69K sealing and a rugged plastic shell protect critical connections from water, dust, and oil in washdown and outdoor environments, reducing corrosion risk and downtime. By maintaining a tight seal, the connector minimizes maintenance and replacement costs in automation lines. This 18-position solder-cup arrangement with gold plating provides low contact resistance and high signal integrity, even in vibration-prone installations such as robotics, CNC machines, and automated assembly lines. The 1/3 bayonet coupling with a straight plug orientation enables fast mating and repeatable alignment, dramatically cutting installation time during panel builds and field terminations. Cable diameter range from 5 to 14 mm and a sealing gland backshell simplify field cabling, enabling flexible harness designs and inventory consolidation. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 105 °C and resistance to UV, oil, and basic baths broaden applicability to outdoor equipment and mobile machinery. With 250 mating cycles and 18 cavities, the UTS6JC14E18SZ offers long service life and predictable ROI in demanding environments. At 71.5 mm in length, 34.4 mm height, 34.6 mm width, and 48.3 g weight, it enables compact panel layouts while preserving robustness. Compliance with IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA C22.2 No. 182.3, and ROHS exemptions further simplify regulatory acceptance across regions.

FAQs
Yes. The UTS6JC14E18SZ uses a sealing gland backshell and supports cable diameters from 5 mm up to 14 mm. It is a straight plug with a Z-key orientation and 18-position layout, designed to mate with other UTS housings and accessories within the Souriau IP68/69K family for reliable field terminations.
The connector carries a 5 A IEC current rating (4 A UL/CSA) across its 18-position contact cavity arrangement. Contacts are gold-plated solder-cup types, providing low contact resistance and robust performance under vibration. The assembly supports up to 250 mating cycles, suitable for repetitive connect/disconnect applications in automation.
Ideal for washdown facilities, outdoor machinery, and equipment exposed to moisture, dust, oils, and UV. Its 1/3 bayonet coupling and sealing gland backshell help ensure a reliable seal, while the -40 °C to 105 °C operating range supports extreme ambient conditions typical of manufacturing floors, outdoor automation or mobile equipment.
The UTS6JC14E18SZ carries IEC 61984 and UL 1977 certifications, plus CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 with ROHS exemption 6.c. These approvals facilitate regulatory acceptance in global deployments, simplify supplier qualification, and support customers aiming for formal safety and environmental compliance in industrial installations.
Key benefits include reduced downtime due to IP68/69K sealing, long-term reliability from gold-plated contacts and robust plastics, and high mating cycle life (250 cycles). The design also streamlines installation with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and straightforward cable provision, delivering faster commissioning and lower total cost of ownership in robotics, control panels, and industrial machinery.
