IP68/IP69K sealing in unmated condition provides superior ingress protection, reducing washdown-related failures and maintenance costs while enabling reliable outdoor or harsh-environment deployments. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and less downtime in critical manufacturing lines where cleanliness and moisture control are essential. The UTS6JC8E2PX uses two gold-plated solder cup contacts, delivering low contact resistance and stable electrical performance over many mating cycles; this improves signal integrity in sensors and actuators and reduces rework during field wiring. Quick-mate 1/3 bayonet coupling accelerates assembly on the shop floor and during panel wiring, supporting faster changeovers and streamlined service. The compact 54 mm length with a 22.4 mm footprint, combined with a plastic shell, enables easier integration into tight enclosures and lightweight harnesses, improving install efficiency. Operating temperature of -40 °C to 105 °C supports diverse industrial climates, while the 6.5 mm max cable diameter and 1.5 mm min diameter provide wiring flexibility for varied applications. With a 7 A current rating and 250 V capability, this plug handles common automation loads while maintaining safety margins in control panels. Designed for durability, it offers resistance to gasoline, mineral oil, acids, and UV exposure, ensuring reliability in mobile equipment and field service rigs. The product’s compliance with major standards (IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3) helps satisfy regulatory requirements across electronics, machinery, and automation projects, while the sealed backshell and keying X ensure proper orientation and mating integrity across connector assemblies.

FAQs
Begin by confirming the cable diameter falls within the 1.5 mm to 6.5 mm range. Attach the cable with the sealing gland backshell and tighten to ensure IP68 sealing. Align the keying X, then engage the 1/3 bayonet coupling until it latches securely. Verify mating cycles and perform a continuity test on the gold-plated solder cups before energizing.
The plug supports a 7 A current rating and up to 250 V, with test values confirming robust performance across IEC, UL, and CSA standards. It uses gold-plated solder cup contacts for low resistance and reliable connection, suitable for sensor and actuator wiring in automation equipment.
Yes. The connector is rated IP68 and IP69K in unmated conditions, providing excellent protection against water, dust, and washdowns. Its UV resistance and material choice (plastic shell with neoprene insert) are designed for long-term outdoor or harsh indoor environments where exposure to oils and chemicals may occur.
This model complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support compliance in regulated industries and help ensure safe, reliable use in automation and control systems.
With 250 mating cycles and a sealed backshell, the UTS6JC8E2PX provides durable, repeatable connections that withstand frequent field changes and maintenance. The corrosion-resistant gold contacts and rugged housing reduce contact degradation, lowering maintenance costs and downtime over the system’s lifecycle.
