FAQs
The UTS6JC8E98SX uses a sealing gland backshell and a straight backshell with 1/3 bayonet coupling. Ensure the cable diameter is within 1.5 to 6.5 mm and crimp or solder the three gold-plated contacts correctly in the 3-pin socket configuration. Align keying X, mate firmly, then secure with appropriate backshell accessories for a water-tight seal.
This connector provides a 7 A electrical rating per IEC and UL standards, with a test voltage up to 250 V (IEC/CSA/UL). It supports 3 contacts with solder cup contacts and is designed for robust duty in industrial environments, including repetitive mating cycles up to 250. Always verify system voltage and current budgets for your specific harness.
Yes. It is rated IP68 in unmated conditions and UV resistant, with resistance to mineral oil, acids, bases, and gasoline. It withstands operating temperatures from -40 °C to 105 °C and supports vibrations from 10 to 2000 Hz, making it suitable for washdown areas, outdoor installations, and equipment exposed to challenging chemicals.
The connector complies with RoHS exemption 6.c, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984. These certifications support safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements across North American and international markets.
With a 250 mating cycle rating and durable plastic housing, the UTS6JC8E98SX reduces replacement frequency and maintenance downtime. The 7 A rating and gold-plated contacts ensure long-term electrical reliability, while IP68/69K sealing minimizes field service interruptions in washdown or oil-exposed environments, delivering lower lifecycle costs and higher equipment uptime.
