Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 23‑position plastic plug with a Sealing Gland backshell provides a compact, seal-tight interface that reduces ingress risk, improving uptime in water, dust, and oil exposure. This translates to lower maintenance intervals and fewer field failures in packaging, robotics, and material handling lines. Feature → Application compatibility → The straight plug orientation and 1/3 bayonet coupling simplify field mating in tight spaces, enabling quick panel integration and reduced installation time for conveyor systems and outdoor equipment. Feature → Environmental resilience → UV resistance, oil and acid bath tolerance, and broad temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) ensure reliability in extreme environments, supporting long service life and predictable ROI for fleet upgrades. Feature → Electrical robustness → 9 A IEC / 10 A UL current rating with 63 V IEC and 500 V UL/CSA test voltages guarantees safe power and signal transmission in demanding machinery, reducing overdesign and wire gauge requirements. Feature → Durability and life cycle → 250 mating cycles and polyamide insert materials provide repeatable performance, lowering replacement cycles and total cost of ownership across automation hardware used in manufacturing, mining, or process industries.

FAQs
For installation in rugged settings, use the straight plug with a sealing gland backshell and the 1/3 bayonet coupling to secure fast mating. The connector is designed for 23 contacts, high IP protection, and compatibility with cable glands, reducing field wiring complexity. Note that contact delivery is not included, so sourcing crimp contacts separately is required for a complete harness.
The UTS6JC1823PX complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, ensuring electrical and safety conformity in industrial applications. It also achieves IP68 sealing and UL94 V0 flammability, supporting reliability in challenging environments such as outdoor equipment and heavy machinery while aligning with procurement and compliance requirements.
Yes. The 1/3 bayonet coupling and robust plastic shell are designed to withstand vibrations, with a mating cycle rating of 250. The 23‑cavity configuration and sealing gland backshell provide stable electrical connections and ingress protection from 10 Hz to 2000 Hz vibrations commonly seen in conveyors, packaging lines, and mining equipment.
This plug uses crimp contacts with pin male terminations and backshell sealing. Ensure you source compatible 23‑position crimp contacts and mating connectors from the Souriau UTS family. The connector is delivered with the connector itself; contact delivery is not included, so plan for the appropriate crimp contacts and accessories to complete the assembly and maintain IP protection.
The combination of IP68/69K sealing, 23‑position capability, and 9 A current rating enables reliable power and signal transmission in harsh environments, reducing field failures and maintenance costs. With 250 mating cycles and resistance to oil, UV, and chemical exposure, the solution extends service life, lowers downtime, and delivers predictable total cost of ownership for automated lines and outdoor equipment.
