IP68/IP69K sealing and unmated protection ensure reliable operation in washdown areas and dusty environments, reducing unplanned downtime and warranty claims. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The IP68/69K rating provides superior ingress protection, translating to longer service life in harsh industrial settings and lower maintenance costs on assembly lines using automated equipment. This is ideal for water-intensive processes and outdoor installations in process automation. The 8 PCB contacts with gold plating minimize contact resistance and corrosion, delivering consistent signal integrity and power delivery for rugged machinery and robotics. Application: automated welding cells, material handling, and PLC panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 bayonet coupling paired with jam nut receptacle design simplifies field mating, improves vibration resistance, and accelerates panel mounting, cutting installation time by seconds per connection in large deployments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating from -40 to 105°C and 250 V, this connector supports broad temperature swings and diverse voltage requirements, enabling multi-zone automation with fewer part variants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mating cycles rated at 250 promote durable reuse in repair-conscious environments, reducing total cost of ownership by limiting connector replacements in high-cycle applications. The no-backshell option saves space and reduces weight on compact equipment where panel real estate is at a premium, while maintaining reliable sealing with neoprene insert material for added environmental resistance.

FAQs
The UTS712D8PW uses a jam nut receptacle design with no backshell option, oriented for W (west) configuration. When installing, ensure panel cutout matches the 25.3 mm depth and 31.8 mm width/height footprint. Tighten the jam nut to seal against moisture and vibration, verify gold-plated PCB contacts are fully seated, and confirm mating with a compatible UTS plug to maintain IP68 integrity.
This connector is rated for 6 A IEC current and 4.5–6 A depending on standard, with test voltages up to 250 V depending on the specification. It features 8 contact positions, gold-plated PCB contacts, and 8 insert cavities. Operating temperature spans -40°C to 105°C, enabling dependable performance in extreme industrial conditions.
Ideal for automation panels, robotics, and outdoor equipment exposed to moisture or dust, the UTS712D8PW supports IP68/IP69K sealing, bayonet coupling for quick mating, and space-efficient jam nut mounting. Its rugged performance suits process automation, material handling, and equipment subject to washdowns and high-vibration environments, delivering reliable electrical and signal integrity.
The UTS712D8PW complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with ROHS compliance and IP68 sealing.
