FAQs
UTS6JC183G1P is a 4‑cavity male plug designed to pair with the Souriau UTS series receptacles. For installation, align the 3G1 contact arrangement, engage the 1/3 bayonet coupling, and secure with the backshell sealing gland. Verify the orientation (N) and ensure the mating face remains clean and undamaged to maintain IP68/IP69K protection. Use crimped contact terminations suitable for 4 crimp contacts and respect the operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C for reliable performance. Proper routing and strain relief reduce wear on the contacts during vibration or movement.
The connector supports a current rating of 23 A per UL and 32 A per IEC, with a test current of 23 A under CSA standards and a test voltage of 600 V (UL/CSA) or 300 V (IEC). These figures enable safe operation for power and control circuits in automated machinery. The 4‑pole configuration handles the required power and signal paths while maintaining compact dimensions. For high-reliability systems, ensure wiring and crimp contacts are rated for the same voltage and current levels.
Yes. The UTS6JC183G1P features IP68 sealing and IP69K protection, making it highly resistant to water ingress, dust, and high-pressure washdowns. Its operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C supports outdoor and extreme-weather applications, while UV resistance and other environmental protections help maintain long-term reliability in exposed installations. The rugged plastic shell and sealed backshell further enhance durability in mobile equipment, construction sites, and outdoor automation.
The connector is compliant with UL 1977 and CSA C22.2 No. 182.3, as well as IEC 61984, with additional RoHS and REACH considerations and a UL94 V0 flammability rating. These certifications verify electrical safety, interconnect reliability, and material performance in many industrial settings. For procurement and regulatory audits, these certifications reduce risk and simplify supplier qualification, while assuring compatibility with other standards-based components used in automation and control systems.
The design supports 250 mating cycles, which helps stabilize lifecycle cost in frequent connection scenarios. The sealing gland backshell and IP68/69K protection reduce ingress and moisture-related degradation, lowering maintenance frequency. Routine inspection should focus on the seal integrity, contact cleanliness, and crimp contacts to ensure consistent conductivity. Proper handling, torque control during mating, and compatible wiring practices contribute to predictable ROI in automated systems.
