FAQs
The UTS6JC8E3ASW is a straight plug in the UTS series featuring a sealing gland backshell and 1/3 bayonet coupling. It ships with a connector and sealing backshell, accommodates 3 female solder contacts (3 cavities), and is designed to mate with Souriau UTS receptacles of the same shell size to ensure IP68 performance and reliable field service.
Key electrical specs include a current rating of 7 A (IEC and UL), test current of 7 A, and test voltage of 250 V (UL/CSA) or 50 V (IEC). The contact arrangement provides 3 cavities with gold-plated solder cups for low resistance and corrosion resistance, suitable for moderate power and signal applications in automation.
It supports operating temperatures from -40 °C to 105 °C and carries IP68 sealing (with IP69K capability in unmated conditions). The housing and neoprene insert offer UV resistance and oil/chemical compatibility, making it suitable for washdown facilities, outdoor machinery, mining, and other demanding industrial settings.
The connector complies with RoHS exemptions, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, reflecting adherence to electrical safety, performance, and environmental standards. These certifications support global deployment, ease regulatory approvals, and reduce risk for regulated industries such as automation, food processing, and heavy equipment.
Plan for a straight plug with a sealing gland backshell and 1/3 bayonet coupling. Cable diameter range is 1.5 to 6.5 mm, and the assembly length is 54 mm with a width of 22.4 mm. Ensure correct mating with compatible UTS components, verify the 3-cavity arrangement, and account for 250 mating cycles in maintenance planning.
