IP68/69K sealing and a 3-pin layout provide robust ingress protection for rugged environments, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs while simplifying harness design for machine builders. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling enables fast, tool-free mating and secure retention after vibration, improving installation efficiency on production lines and minimizing mechanical wear over the connector’s life.Gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, supporting stable performance in outdoor and industrial atmospheres and extending service life in harsh environments. With a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C, this connector accommodates temperature swings common in mining, offshore, and heavy equipment applications, reducing the need for multiple part variants and inventory.The backshell is a Sealing Gland type with a straight orientation, integrating a cable gland backshell for effective strain relief and environmental sealing. The compact plastic shell, neoprene insert, and 54 mm length (22.4 mm width, 22.4 mm height) enable easy integration into tight harness routes while maintaining 3-cavity layout and 3 contacts for compact automation assemblies. Mating cycles reach 250, supporting high-reliability connectivity for mobile equipment and industrial controls. Compliance with UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and ROHS exemption 6.c further reinforces safety and sustainability goals for industrial buyers.

FAQs
The UTS6JC8E3P uses a Sealing Gland backshell and a straight plug with 1/3 Bayonet coupling, designed to mate with standard UTS series backshells. Its 54 mm length and 22.4 mm width fit common panel spacing, while the 1.5–6.5 mm cable diameter range supports a wide variety of field wiring configurations. Ensure correct alignment and torque during mating to maintain IP68 integrity.
This connector provides a 7 A current rating (UL/IEC/CSA) with three gold-plated solder cup contacts in a 3-cavity layout. The contact type is Solder Cup, male pin configuration, which supports reliable, field-serviceable connections for control circuits and sensor wiring in rugged environments.
Yes. The connector carries IP68 protection and IP68/69K performance in unmated conditions, with resistance to UV exposure, mineral oil, acids, gasoline, and basic baths. Its wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to 105 °C) and 250 mating cycles make it suitable for outdoor automation, mobile equipment, mining, and marine installations where harsh conditions are common.
The UTS6JC8E3P is certified to UL 1977 and IEC 61984, with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 and ROHS exemption 6.c compliance. These certifications support functional safety, electrical compatibility, and environmental compliance, helping you meet procurement standards and regulatory requirements across multiple markets.
With 250 mating cycles and a robust 1/3 Bayonet coupling, this connector tolerates frequent mating/demating and vibrations typical in mobile equipment and industrial automation. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and resistance to corrosion, while the sealing gland backshell maintains environmental integrity, reducing maintenance intervals and downtime.
