FAQs
The UTS6JC8E98SW is a straight plug with a sealing gland backshell designed for cables 1.5 to 6.5 mm in diameter and a W orientation. Plan for a compact 54 mm depth and ensure a clean panel cut with proper gland seal to maintain IP68 performance. Use the 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick, repeatable mating without tools, reducing downtime during panel upgrades.
The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides a fast, secure engage/disengage action that resists vibration and accidental disconnection. In harsh environments, this translates to quicker field servicing, easier rope-access or enclosure maintenance, and less risk of partial mating that could compromise seal integrity.
Yes. The UTS6JC8E98SW carries compliance references including UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, with RoHS exemption 6.c. Always verify the exact approval scope for your installation and regional requirements, but this connector is designed to support safety certifications typical for industrial interconnects.
The connector is rated for 7 A continuous current at 250 V across IEC/UL/CSA standards, with a test current of 7 A and test voltage of 250 V UL/CSA. It supports 3 contacts in a single socket, and the gold-plated solder cups provide reliable conductivity in demanding environments.
Its IP68 waterproof rating (IP68/69K unmated) combined with UV, oil, and chemical resistance, plus a sealing gland backshell, makes it suitable for outdoor use and wash-down areas. The 54 mm length and 8-shell size, 3-contact configuration, and temperature range -40 to 105 C enable dependable operation in factories, outdoor machinery, and equipment exposed to moisture and contaminants.
