FAQs
The UTS712D8PX is a jam-nut receptacle with no backshell option, designed for panel mounting. It uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling for fast mating and a panel cutout compatible with the 12-shell size. Ensure proper tightening of the jam nut to achieve the required IP68 seal and alignment for X orientation.
This receptacle is rated for 6 A IEC and 4.5 A UL/CSA, with test voltage ratings of 250 V CSA, 32 V IEC, and 250 V UL. The 8 contacts are gold-plated PCB type, supporting reliable signal integrity across typical automation and control applications.
Yes. It carries an IP68 rating (immersion protection) and is UV resistant with resistance to mineral oil and chemical baths. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C and 250 mating cycles further support durable use in rugged environments such as outdoor equipment and washdown areas.
The connector complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, with ROHS exemption 6.c. This provides regulatory safety, interoperability with other IEC/UL/CSA components, and RoHS-compliant material usage for global deployments.
With 250 mating cycles, robust IP68 sealing, and gold plating for corrosion resistance, the connector reduces maintenance frequency and downtime. Its compact size and reliable mating reduce panel space needs and service time, contributing to lower lifecycle costs in automation panels and robotic systems.
