FAQs
The UTS710E6PM16 is part of the Souriau UTS series and uses a threaded receptacle with a 1/3 Bayonet coupling. It does not include a backshell option, so installation is focused on achieving a tight IP68/69K seal within a compact footprint. Ensure mating components share the same series and receptacle orientation (N) for proper alignment and sealing.
This connector is rated for 6 A (UL) and 7 A (IEC) with a test current of 6 A (CSA/UL) and 7 A (IEC). It operates from −40 °C to 105 °C and provides IP68 sealing. Contacts are gold-plated solder cups, and the assembly supports up to 250 mating cycles, making it suitable for rugged industrial use.
Yes. The IP68/69K rating, UV resistance, and material resilience (plastic shell with neoprene insert) protect against moisture, dust, vibrations, oils, and UV exposure. It also withstands basic and mineral oil environments, contributing to longer service life in outdoor or exposed installations.
The connector carries UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 certifications, and RoHS exemption 6.c. These align with common safety and environmental regulations in North American, European, and global industrial deployments.
With six positions, gold-plated contacts, compact footprint, and a quick 1/3 Bayonet coupling, installation is faster and more reliable. The 250 mating cycles extend lifecycle, while the no-backshell option reduces parts and inventory costs, delivering lower overall maintenance and replacement expenses in demanding automation projects.
