FAQs
The UTS6JC8E3APX uses a straight plug with a backshell sealing gland and 1/3 bayonet coupling, easing alignment and mating in panel cuts or conduit-free installations. Its 54 mm length and 22.4 mm width/height fit compact enclosures, with a cable diameter range of 1.5 to 6.5 mm supporting diverse harnesses while maintaining IP68 protection in unmated conditions.
Its IP68 rating and 105 °C operating temperature tolerance ensure water ingress protection and thermal stability during washdowns. Gold-plated solder cups improve corrosion resistance, while the sealing gland backshell preserves seal integrity, reducing maintenance cycles and extending asset uptime in outdoor installations.
The connector provides 3 gold-plated solder cup contacts with a 7 A current rating and a 250 V tested voltage (UL/CSA). It is designed for 250 V UL, 50 V IEC, and 250 V CSA test voltages, with a 3-contact configuration suitable for control and sensor circuits in industrial environments.
The unit complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, plus ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support safety, interchangeability, and environmental compliance across global manufacturing and field operations.
With up to 250 mating cycles and durable gold-plated contacts, the connector minimizes replacement frequency and maintenance labor. Its rugged IP68/69K performance reduces failure downtime in washdown environments, delivering lower total cost of ownership for automation and machinery upgrades.
