FAQs
Install the jam-nut receptacle by threading it into the panel cutout, tightening to seal against ingress. Use the 1/3 bayonet coupling to mate with the mating plug, and ensure the seal remains intact. The design assumes the back shell is not delivered and the orientation is X, so plan wiring accordingly and verify contact alignment before final mating.
The connector supports 6 A under UL and 7 A under IEC standards, with a test current of 6 A CSA and 7 A IEC. The permitted voltage is 250 V UL and CSA, with 50 V IEC. This makes it suitable for sensor-actuator and control circuits within industrial automation equipment.
Yes. It achieves IP68 protection, is UV resistant, and resists oils and mineral oils. The assembly uses neoprene inserts and plastic shells, providing durability under vibration and wide temperature ranges (-40 °C to 105 °C). Salt spray resistance is rated at 500 hours, supporting outdoor service in challenging environments.
The UTS710E98SX carries UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 compliances, along with ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications help satisfy safety, environmental, and industry-specific requirements for equipment deployed in North America and globally.
With 250 mating cycles and gold-plated contacts, the UTS710E98SX reduces contact wear and ensures stable performance across many mating events. The combination of IP68/69K protection and corrosion resistance lowers replacement frequency, simplifies maintenance, and improves MTBF for automated systems, delivering a strong return on investment in high-demand environments.
