FAQs
UTS6JC8E2P uses a straight 1/3 bayonet mating configuration with a backshell sealing gland, designed to integrate with Souriau UTS series accessories. It is a 2-position plug with solder cup contacts, compatible with standard 8-shell size and Neoprene insert components. This setup simplifies field upgrades and minimizes rework when replacing older IP68/69K connectors.
The connector is rated for 7 A (IEC/UL) with a test voltage of 250 V (UL/CSA) and 32 V (IEC). It supports up to 250 mating cycles, providing a reliable lifecycle for intermittent to continuous-duty automation tasks. Gold-plated solder cup contacts ensure low contact resistance and durable signal integrity in challenging environments.
Ideal for harsh environments such as outdoor control panels, washdown areas, mobile machinery, conveyors, and robotic installations, UTS6JC8E2P combines IP68/69K protection with a compact 54 mm length. Its 2-pin configuration and bayonet coupling speed up field connections, reduce maintenance time, and improve overall equipment availability in demanding industrial settings.
UTS6JC8E2P complies with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984, and UL 1977, with ROHS exemption 6.c. This means it meets applicable safety and compatibility requirements for electrical connectors used in North American and international markets, while some materials may be exempt from standard RoHS restrictions. Always confirm material declarations with the supplier for specific procurement needs.
The IP68/69K seal and robust materials reduce ingress-related failures, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. With 250 mating cycles and gold-plated contacts, the connector offers reliable long-term performance, decreasing spare-parts inventory and replacement cycles. Teams can achieve faster installation, better uptime, and a lower total cost of ownership in rugged automation environments.
