IP68/69K sealing with a sealing gland backshell protects the 3 male solder contacts from moisture, dust, and washdown exposure, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. The straight plug with a 1/3 bayonet coupling remains secure under vibration while simplifying field mating and maintenance, and the neoprene insert provides dependable sealing across a 1.5 to 6.5 mm cable diameter range, reducing the need for additional adapters. This translates to faster, mistake-free installations and lower inventory costs for maintenance teams. The 7 A current rating at up to 250 V supports compact power and control wiring for sensors, actuators, and small devices, enabling leaner harnesses and improved energy efficiency. Gold-plated contacts offer superior corrosion resistance and consistent conductivity in oily or chemical environments, extending service life and reducing failure-related downtime. The connector’s 250 mating cycles enhance reliability in automation lines, minimizing replacement cycles and spare-part expenses. Compatibility with Souriau UTS interfaces ensures plug-and-play upgrades and consistent performance across existing systems, while the keying W orientation prevents incorrect mating in multi-connector assemblies. IP68/69K certification, UV resistance, and oil/chemical tolerance expand usable life in outdoor, warehouse, and offshore applications, delivering more uptime per dollar spent. The compact 54 mm depth, 22.4 mm width, and 22.4 mm height, along with shell size 8, keep panel space to a minimum without sacrificing ruggedness.
