FAQs
The UTS712D8PZ uses an eight-pin PCB contact array in a jam-nut receptacle and employs a no-backshell design. Its 1/3 bayonet coupling and Z-keying ensure quick, accurate mating, reducing assembly time and the risk of misalignment. This configuration supports compact panel layouts and minimizes PCB stress during installation in harsh environments.
This connector provides a 6 A IEC current rating per contact and 4.5 A UL/CSA ratings in testing, with a 250 V maximum voltage (UL/CSA) and 32 V (IEC). It carries 8 contacts with gold plating for reliable PCB connections and supports up to 250 mating cycles, ensuring stable performance over the device life.
Yes. The connector complies with IEC 61984 and UL 1977, as well as CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and carries ROHS exemption 6.c. This combination supports electrical safety, cross-industry compatibility, and reduced hazardous substance exposure, making it suitable for regulated automation, energy, and machinery projects.
Key factors include IP68 sealing for water ingress protection, a jam-nut receptacle design for robust panel mounting, and 1/3 bayonet coupling for fast engagement. The Z-keying ensures correct orientation, while the lack of a backshell option reduces configuration steps. Together, these features shorten service windows and improve uptime in outdoor or wet environments.
Robotics, packaging lines, outdoor automation panels, and process equipment benefit from the rugged PCB interconnect capabilities. The wide operating range (-40 to 105 °C), IP68/69K sealing, and resistance to oil, salt spray, and UV exposure support reliable operation in harsh environments, lowering lifecycle costs and improving maintenance predictability in manufacturing, energy, and transportation sectors.
