FAQs
Install with the backshell sealing gland in place and ensure the orientation is X. Use a cable diameter between 1.5 and 6.5 mm, insert the cable through the gland, and connect the 3 solder cup contacts (gold-plated) to the mating component. Mate with the corresponding plug and twist to engage the 1/3 bayonet coupling for a tight seal and IP68/69K protection.
The connector provides a 7 A current rating and a 250 V voltage rating, tested to UL, IEC, and CSA standards. It features 3 contacts (solder cup) with gold plating for reliable, corrosion-resistant connections and can withstand up to 250 mating cycles under typical usage conditions.
Yes. Its IP68 rating, UV resistance, and robust sealing gland backshell make it ideal for outdoor and washdown environments. It also tolerates vibrations per IEC 60512-4 from 10 to 2000 Hz, ensuring stable connections in machinery undergoing frequent motion and jostling.
It complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications confirm compatibility with global electrical safety and performance standards, facilitating regulatory approval, quality assurance, and market access for equipment builders.
With 250 mating cycles, gold-plated contacts, and a sealing gland backshell, the UTS6JC8E3SX minimizes maintenance downtime and corrosion-related failures. Its compact shell size and 3-contact configuration simplify wiring, reduce inventory complexity, and improve serviceability in harsh industrial environments.
