Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68/69K sealing and UV resistance protect connections from moisture, dust, and sunlight, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in outdoor equipment. This translates to higher uptime and predictable operating expenses for wind farms, portable machinery, and outdoor automation cabinets. Application: field wiring and sensors in harsh environments where reliability matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 7 A current rating and 250 mating cycles provide sustained performance under frequent connects and disconnects, enabling maintenance routines to be executed faster with less risk of contact degradation. Application: conveyor lines, packaging machinery, and mobile equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 Bayonet coupling enables quick, tool-free mating and unmating, cutting installation time by tens of minutes per panel and improving on-site efficiency. Application: remote I/O panels and automation hubs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: gold-plated solder cups and two 2-contact layout assure corrosion resistance and robust signal/power transfer, reducing field failure rates and warranty costs. Application: servo/stepper motors, sensors, and low-power actuators. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Neoprene insert and Sealing Gland backshell support broad cable compatibility (1.5–6.5 mm) for flexible wiring strategies, lowering part variety and inventory. Application: control cabinets and machinery with mixed cable diameters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: operating temperature range -40 °C to 105 °C and environmental resistance extend service life in cold climates, high heat, or vibration-heavy settings. Application: mining equipment, outdoor machinery, and agricultural gear. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 54 mm length, 22.4 x 22.4 mm shell, and 2-position layout optimize space in crowded panels while maintaining accessibility for maintenance.

FAQs
Install by selecting a cable within 1.5 to 6.5 mm diameter and using the Sealing Gland backshell to maintain IP68 sealing. Mate the straight plug with the corresponding receptacle using the 1/3 bayonet coupling until it locks securely. Ensure the contact ends are properly soldered (female solder cups) and that the assembly remains within the -40 to 105 C operating range for reliable performance.
The connector supports 7 A current (IEC and UL), with test voltage up to 250 V (CSA/UL) and 32 V (IEC). It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and is rated IP68, offering UV resistance and resistance to solvents. Compliance includes IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and RoHS exemption 6.c, suitable for safety-critical industrial installations.
Yes. It is part of the UTS series and uses the 1/3 bayonet coupling with a sealing gland backshell, designed for two-position (2-contact) configurations. It supports standard Souriau UTS mating interfaces and backplane alignment, ensuring reliable field wiring in control cabinets and outdoor equipment when paired with corresponding Souriau UTS plugs or sockets.
Ideal for outdoor automation, industrial controls, sensors, and field wiring in harsh environments such as mining, agriculture, and outdoor machinery. The IP68/69K sealing, 7 A rating, and compact 54 mm length make it well-suited for crowded panels, robust sensor connections, and quick field maintenance without sacrificing reliability or regulatory compliance.
Expect reduced maintenance due to superior sealing and corrosion resistance from gold-plated contacts, with up to 250 mating cycles reducing replacement frequency. The RoHS-compliant design minimizes regulatory risk and inventory costs. Its quick-mating 1/3 bayonet design reduces field downtime, improving uptime and overall return on investment in automation projects.
