IP68/IP69K sealing provides superior protection against water, dust, and aggressive environments, reducing the risk of field failures and warranty returns while enabling reliable operation in wash-down areas and outdoor installations. This translates to lower maintenance costs and increased asset availability in automation lines and mobile equipment. Eight PCB contacts with gold plating support high-reliability signal and power transfer, improving data integrity and actuation performance across complex control panels. The combination of a 4.5 A UL rating and 6 A IEC rating allows common automation devices and sensors to operate without overdesign, delivering energy efficiency and cost savings in control architectures. A 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick, secure mating with repeatable performance in tight spaces, reducing downtime during assemblies and field servicing. Jam Nut Receptacle with no backshell simplifies mounting on panel surfaces, lowering installation time and potential ingress points while maintaining a compact form factor. The operating range of -40 °C to 105 °C supports extreme industrial environments, ensuring continuous operation in cold starts and high-heat conditions. Long-term resistance to mineral oil, UV exposure, acid and basic baths, and salt spray translates to durable field life and reduced replacement cycles, delivering lower total cost of ownership for heavy equipment, off-road vehicles, and outdoor machinery. In summary, this connector aligns with industry standards while offering compatibility with Souriau UTS mating interfaces and existing PCB layouts, delivering reliable performance with minimal disruption to production.

FAQs
The UTS712D8S is a jam nut receptacle intended for panel mounting without a backshell. It supports standard panel installations and clean mating with Souriau UTS family connectors. Orientation is fixed as N, and the 12-shell size accommodates compact control panels while maintaining IP68 protection. Ensure a proper sealing thread engagement and tighten the jam nut to meet ingress protection requirements.
This receptacle features eight PCB contacts with gold plating and a PC board interface. Current ratings are 4.5 A UL and 6 A IEC, with a voltage rating of up to 250 V (CSA 250 V, ICD 32 V IEC). Contact delivery is loaded, and mating cycles are rated at 250, providing repeatable connections for automation sensors and actuators in demanding environments.
Ideal for industrial automation, heavy equipment, and outdoor machinery, the UTS712D8S excels where ingress protection is critical and space is at a premium. Its IP68 sealing, temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C, and resistance to mineral oil, UV, and salt spray make it suitable for wash-down areas, off-road vehicles, and outdoor control panels requiring reliable PCB-to-cable interfaces.
The connector complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support global deployment in automated systems and machinery, enabling safer procurement decisions and smoother approval processes with customers and integrators in regulated industries.
With a mating life of 250 cycles, 500-hour salt spray resistance, and robust environmental sealing, this connector minimizes field maintenance and replacement costs. The no-backshell design and simple jam nut mounting reduce installation time, while the gold-plated PCB contacts deliver reliable long-term performance, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over equipment lifecycles.
