Feature → Business Impact → Application: Eight gold-plated PCB contacts deliver low contact resistance and high reliability in contaminated or oily environments, reducing intermittent faults and rework on complex assemblies. This translates to fewer field repairs and lower downtime, especially in packaging, robotics, and material handling systems where PCB-to-board connections are common. Application: Use in jam-nut receptacle configurations with 1/3 bayonet coupling for rapid mating and secure retention, enabling faster panel assembly and field servicing without compromising IP ratings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68 protection and UV resistance provide continuous performance outdoors and underground, cutting the need for additional enclosures and improving lifecycle cost in outdoor machinery, mining equipment, and process automation. Application: Ideal for equipment exposed to mineral oil, basic baths, or intermittent immersion, sustaining operation in challenging environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mating cycles rated at 250 and operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C ensure resilience in extreme conditions, supporting high-reliability automation lines and automotive test rigs. Application: Suitable for high-cycle connectors in control cabinets, motor drives, and distribution panels where frequent mating is required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 8-contact configuration with 4.5 A current rating (UL) and 6 A (IEC) provides adequate power delivery for sensor-actuator networks and low-power drives, reducing the need for parallel channels and simplifying harness design. Application: Used in compact industrial PCs, servo drives, and distributed I/O modules where space is limited but performance is non-negotiable. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Jam-nut receptacle construction with aluminium nut and neoprene insert material promotes reliable sealing and heat resistance, supporting long service life in oil, fuel, and chemical exposure environments. Application: Suitable for harsh environment machine housings, valve controllers, and field-mounted control units where robust sealing and environmental resistance are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Gold plating on contacts provides corrosion resistance and stable conductivity over time, improving signal integrity for high-reliability networks and reducing replacement cycles in critical control paths. Application: Essential for high-availability automation systems, defense-grade equipment, and field instrumentation that must withstand UV exposure and chemical contact.

FAQs

To install the UTS712D8SX, mount the jam-nut receptacle into a panel cutout with the nut engaging from the front. Ensure the orientation is set to X, then slide in the mating connector and twist the bayonet coupling to engage. Do not use a backshell, as this model is specified without one. Tighten the jam nut to gate-seal, and verify IP68/69K integrity after assembly.
The connector supports a current rating of 4.5 A (UL) and 6 A (IEC), with a voltage rating of up to 250 V (UL/CSA) and 32 V (IEC). It includes eight gold-plated PCB contacts designed for reliable signal and power transmission, and it offers up to 250 mating cycles for dependable service life in demanding automation environments.
