Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68/IP69K sealing provides superior ingress protection, minimizing downtime in washdown and outdoor environments and enabling reliable operation in harsh factories and food processing lines. This directly reduces maintenance costs and improves line uptime in continuous production environments. Feature → 5-pin, 32 A rating, and 600 V readiness enable higher power density per connector, simplifying cabling schemes and reducing enclosure fatigue in packaging and material handling systems. Application: conveyor drives, packaging lines, and robotics where high current and compact footprint are required. Feature → 1/3 Bayonet coupling and straight plug with sealing gland backshell improve installation speed and vibration resistance, helping technicians achieve fast, repeatable field assembly with minimal reassembly time. Application: panel-mount wiring or harnessed assemblies in OEM equipment. Feature → Polyamide insert and UV and chemical resistance extend service life in outdoor or UV-exposed facilities, lowering premature replacements and service intervals. Application: outdoor automation cabinets and remote sensor networks. Feature → 250 mating cycles and crimp contact delivery support durable field reuse and quick connector replacements, improving total cost of ownership and reducing downtime during maintenance. Application: repairable systems in mining, water treatment, and heavy industry where frequent connector cycling occurs. Feature → Delivered with connector and option for first mate/last break capabilities provides flexible installation strategies, enabling staged wiring and smoother commissioning. Application: complex automation lines requiring modular, scalable connections.

FAQs
The UTS6JC18X2M3P is designed to be drop-in compatible with Souriau UTS-series backshells and gland accessories, delivering a straight plug configuration with a 1/3 bayonet coupling. Ensure the mating connector uses a 5-contact arrangement and the same layout (X2M3). Use provided seal glands to maintain IP68 performance during panel or harness installation, and verify crimp contact terminations meet the 2 crimp per contact specification for secure retention.
This plug supports 32 A current rating per IEC and up to 44 A per UL, with a test current of 34 A CSA and 44 A UL for verification, and test voltage ratings of 600 V CSA/UL and 300 V IEC. The device delivers up to 250 mating cycles, and its polyamide insert with sealing gland backshell provides robust performance across -40 to 105 °C.
Yes. The connector is rated IP68 with IP69K sealing capabilities, and its backshell with sealing gland is designed for high ingress protection in challenging environments. It withstands UV exposure and moisture, making it suitable for outdoor equipment, washdown areas, and splash-prone industrial settings without compromising reliability.
The UTS6JC18X2M3P complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No. 182.3, ensuring electrical safety, performance under recognized tests, and supplier compliance for North American and international installations. Compliance helps reduce qualification time for new equipment and supports regulatory alignment in automation projects.
The connector’s 250 mating cycles and sealed IP68/69K design minimize corrosion and ingress-related failures, reducing unplanned downtime. Its 5-position layout and 32 A rating simplify wiring, lowering part counts and inventory. Expect lower maintenance costs, faster replacements, and improved uptime for automated lines in mining, water treatment, or heavy industry.
