IP68/IP69K protection guards against water ingress, dust, and washdown contaminants. This elevates equipment reliability, minimizes unplanned downtime, and extends service intervals in food processing, outdoor automation, and heavy industry where cleanliness and ruggedness are critical. The compact 3‑cavity jam-nut receptacle enables secure mounting in tight panels, reducing wiring complexity while maintaining a clear, robust ground path. With an aluminium nut and polyamide insert, the unit delivers corrosion resistance and dependable crimp contacts, enhancing long-term connection integrity in vibration-prone environments. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C, UV resistance and chemical tolerance (including mineral oil and basic baths) preserve performance in outdoor or harsh indoor settings. The 250 mating cycles and 16 A IEC current rating support dependable, repeatable connections through lifecycle wear and maintenance cycles.

FAQs
To ensure dependable performance in wet environments, mount the jam-nut receptacle securely and use proper crimping of the three contacts. Maintain clean mating surfaces and verify that seals are intact before mating. Note that backshell accessories are not included and may be ordered separately; using compatible accessories and tightening to recommended torque on the aluminium nut helps prevent ingress and loosening during washdown operations.
The UTS7103S provides a 16 A current rating per IEC, 10 A per UL, with a test current of 7 A CSA and a test voltage up to 500 V. It features a 3‑contact, 3‑cavity configuration with crimp contacts. This combination supports typical control wiring and actuator circuits while maintaining safe operation under electrical load in industrial environments.
Yes. The connector is designed for challenging environments with 250 mating cycles and vibration resistance per IEC 60512-4 across 10–2000 Hz. The jam-nut receptacle and secure 1/3 bayonet coupling help maintain contact integrity during equipment movement, making it a solid choice for mobile equipment, conveyors, and agricultural machinery where vibration is common.
UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 certifications ensure safe operation and regulatory compliance across North American and international markets. These approvals cover insulation, contact durability, and performance under electrical load, supporting deployment in machinery, control panels, and automation systems across food processing, energy, and manufacturing sectors.
The UTS7103S operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, with a polyamide insert and a UV-resistant plastic shell. The materials offer resistance to acids, mineral oil, basic baths, and gasoline, enabling reliable performance in outdoor and washdown environments while preserving electrical integrity across temperature extremes.
