IP68/69K sealing with 1/3 bayonet coupling and a sealing gland backshell provides immersion and washdown resistance, which reduces ingress and maintenance in harsh environments. This translates to improved uptime for machinery in packaging lines, hydraulics, and outdoor equipment, while supporting compliance with industry sealing standards. The 3 contact Solder Cup contacts with gold plating offer reliable, corrosion-resistant connections that promote stable signal and power transfer, reducing contact fatigue and field failures in sensor and actuator wiring. The 7 A current rating and 250 V test voltage support common automation parts without overdesign, enabling cost-effective harnessing for control panels, motors, and actuators. Mating cycles of 250 support frequent field servicing and quick replacement, lowering lifecycle costs and downtime during maintenance windows. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 105 °C, UV resistance, and mineral oil resistance ensure long-term reliability in outdoor, mobile, and industrial environments, minimizing unexpected outages. The souriau UTS series compatibility with neoprene inserts and straight plug orientation delivers straightforward installation on existing cable glands, while the overall compact shell size and 54 mm length streamline panel design and routing in constrained spaces.

FAQs
The UTS6JC8E3AS uses a straight plug with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and a sealing gland backshell. It accepts cable diameters from 1.5 mm to 6.5 mm and ships with a connector ready for field mounting. This combination enables quick, tool-ready installations while maintaining IP68 protection in challenging environments.
It is rated for 7 A current (UL and IEC equivalents) and supports a 250 V maximum voltage. The contact arrangement is 3 sockets (solder cup) with gold plating, designed for stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance in automation wiring and sensor circuits.
Yes. The UTS6JC8E3AS carries IP68 protection (and 69K in unmated conditions), with UV resistance and mineral oil resistance. Its operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C makes it suitable for outdoor machinery, washdown areas, and heavy-duty industrial settings where exposure to moisture and chemicals is common.
The connector aligns with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3. RoHS exemptions are noted, which facilitates global procurement and compliance in many industries. These certifications help ensure safety, interoperability, and regulatory readiness across markets.
With a sealing gland backshell, robust IP68/69K protection, and a 250 mating-cycle lifespan, the UTS6JC8E3AS supports frequent maintenance without compromising sealing performance. Its gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, reducing contact failures, while compact form factor and straightforward installation shorten repair times and improve overall equipment availability.
