FAQs
The UTS6JC8E2SW is designed to mate with Souriau UTS series plugs and backshells. For installation, verify cable diameter falls within 1.5 to 6.5 mm, attach the backshell sealing gland, and align the W orientation for the 1/3 bayonet coupling. With two gold-plated solder cups loaded into two cavities, solder the conductors and securely mate the plug to the corresponding receptacle. The result is a watertight, vibration-resistant connection suitable for rugged environments.
This connector provides a 7 A current rating (UL and IEC) and supports up to 250 V (UL/CSA) or 32 V (IEC) depending on standard. It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and has IP68 sealing. The assembly uses gold-plated solder cups for low contact resistance, and the unit is rated for up to 250 mating cycles, making it reliable for repetitive connections in industrial settings.
Yes. The IP68/69K rating, UV resistance, and neoprene insert provide robust performance in washdown and outdoor environments. Its sealing gland backshell and straight plug design help prevent ingress from dust, water, and solvents. This makes it well-suited for conveyors, outdoor equipment, packaging lines, and other equipment exposed to moisture or cleaning chemicals.
The UTS6JC8E2SW complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with an additional RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications confirm electrical safety, environmental compliance, and suitability for industrial automation applications, helping ensure regulatory alignment in global deployments.
With 250 mating cycles and gold-plated contacts, the connector provides durable performance and stable conductivity over time, reducing contact resistance and startup delays. The IP68/69K sealing minimizes ingress during washdowns, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. Its compact size and Souriau UTS compatibility simplify spare parts management and long-term total cost of ownership.
