IP68/69K sealing and a 3-pin solder contact configuration define the UTS6JC8E3AP as a robust solution for harsh environments. The backshell with a sealing gland and a straight plug orientation enhances ingress protection while simplifying harness routing. Business impact: reduced field failures and lower maintenance costs due to reliable water and dust exclusion. Application: outdoor machinery, mining equipment, and heavy-duty conveyors requiring dependable power and signal integrity. Current rating and electrical robustness are engineered to keep controls safe and responsive. With a 7 A rating (IEC and UL) and a 250 V test voltage, the plug supports reliable power delivery for demanding machines while meeting recognized safety standards. Business value: fewer misfeeds or voltage drops and improved predictability in automated lines. Application examples include control panels and sensor networks in rugged environments. Mechanical design facilitates fast mating and reliable operation in vibration-prone settings. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling combined with a straight plug provides secure engagement with minimal torque, enabling quick field replacements and reduced downtime. Business impact: faster service, lower maintenance windows, and consistent connectivity on mobile equipment such as forklifts, agricultural machines, and construction gear. Environmental resilience turns risk into reliability. The insert material neoprene and a plastic shell are UV resistant and resistant to oil, mineral oil, basic bath, and acids, delivering long service life in challenging environments. Mating cycles reach 250, while gold-plated solder cups ensure low contact resistance and corrosion protection. Business value: fewer replacements and predictable long-term performance. Compatibility and installation flexibility support efficient harness design. The backshell is a sealing gland type with Neoprene insert, and the connector orientation is N, with a 54 mm length and compact footprint (shell size 8). This enables easy integration with existing Souriau UTS series components and simplifies stocking, facilitating faster quotes and reduced design risk for OEM assemblies.
