FAQs
The UTS712D8P uses a jam-nut receptacle with a no-backshell design, so panel mounting relies on the nut and gasket seal to maintain IP68 integrity. This simplifies installation in tight spaces, but you should plan for proper panel cutouts and sealing to ensure full ingress protection during service and maintenance.
This connector provides a 6 A IEC current rating with 4.5 A ratings under UL/CSA standards and a test voltage up to 250 V (UL/CSA) and 32 V (IEC). It features 8 gold-plated PCB contacts, 250 mating cycles, and a compact 25.3 mm by 31.8 mm footprint suitable for dense panel layouts.
IP68/69K indicates superior protection against immersion and high-pressure washdown environments. For the UTS712D8P, this rating guards sensitive PCB contacts against water, dust, and extended exposure, making it ideal for washdown areas, outdoor installations, and equipment exposed to harsh cleaning cycles.
The unit aligns with UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance across North American and international markets, support safer lifecycle management, and simplify supplier qualification for regulated industrial projects.
With 250 mating cycles and gold-plated contacts, the UTS712D8P is designed for repeated connections with reliable contact quality. The corrosion resistance, UV stability, and broad operating temperature range (-40 to 105 °C) reduce downtime and maintenance costs in harsh environments, contributing to lower total cost of ownership in industrial automation.
