FAQs
To ensure IP68/69K performance, select the appropriate backshell sealing gland, correctly size the cable gland for 1.5–6.5 mm diameter cables, and verify a clean, tight mating with a straight plug orientation. Use proper strain relief and secure mounting to prevent movement that could compromise the seal.
Yes. The UTS6JC8E3PW is rated for 7 A and tested up to 250 V, with gold-plated solder cup contacts for reliable conductivity. In harsh environments, maintain cable integrity and avoid overstressing the harness to preserve rating and prevent overheating.
The connector supports up to 250 mating cycles, which suits applications with frequent disconnect/reconnect needs. For best performance, ensure correct alignment during mating and avoid forced engagement that could wear the bayonet coupling.
The UTS6JC8E3PW complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support safety, electrical performance, and environmental compliance for industrial automation deployments.
Regular inspection of the seals and backshell, use of compatible mating components, and proper cleaning to remove contaminants extend life. Implement consistent installation standards, enforce correct cable diameter and gland sizing, and plan for periodic replacement of worn components to maintain reliability and reduce downtime.
