IP68/69K sealing provides dust-tight and water-tight protection for unmated connectors, reducing failure modes in washdown and outdoor environments and increasing mean time between failures in harsh facilities. This directly improves system uptime and lowers maintenance intervals in process lines and packaging plants. The 7 A current rating at up to 250 V, combined with gold-plated solder cups, delivers reliable electrical performance and long-term corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, translating to lower replacement costs and safer electrical integrity. The 3-contact, 3-cavity layout with Neoprene insert offers compact yet flexible wiring for multi-sensor or actuator bundles, enabling streamlined harness design and faster installation. A straight plug with 1/3 Bayonet coupling simplifies mating and reduces risk of misalignment during field connections, while mating cycles of 250 support durable lifecycle in high-use automation lines.

FAQs
Use the provided sealing gland backshell and ensure the cable diameter falls within 1.5 to 6.5 mm. The connector features a straight plug with 3 cavities and a 1/3 bayonet coupling for fast, reliable mating. Confirm alignment using the X-keying and verify gold-plated solder cups for secure terminations. This setup supports easy field replacement without compromising IP68/69K protection.
The UTS6JC8E3PX is rated for 7 A at up to 250 V across its 3-channel layout. Contacts are gold-plated solder cups, designed for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance in challenging environments. The mating cycles are specified at 250, supporting repeated connect/disconnect in factory floor or outdoor installations.
Yes. The UTS6JC8E3PX provides IP68 protection (unmated) and IEC-rated performance with a sealing gland backshell. It also withstands vibrations (10–2000 Hz) and various chemical exposures, making it well-suited for washdown areas, outdoor machinery, and chemical processing lines.
The product references UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, along with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support compliance in industrial automation projects, ensuring safety, interoperability, and reduced regulatory risk for global deployments.
With IP68/69K protection, gold-plated contacts, and a robust 250 mating-cycle life, this connector minimizes downtime from water/dust ingress and reduces replacement costs. Its compact 3-pin design and sealing gland backshell simplify harnessing and installation, delivering faster service, improved throughput, and a favorable return on investment in demanding automation environments.
