IP68/69K sealing delivers dependable operation in wet, dusty, or wash-down environments, reducing ingress-related failures and lowering maintenance costs for automated systems and outdoor equipment. This translates to measurable uptime improvements and fewer service calls on critical lines. The 1/3 bayonet coupling simplifies mating and alignment, speeding field assembly and reducing installation errors in control panels and machinery enclosures. Gold-plated solder cup contacts provide low contact resistance and excellent corrosion resistance, boosting reliability for power and signal paths in harsh environments and extending component life in high-vibration settings. The jam-nut receptacle design combined with a plastic shell keeps weight down while maintaining mechanical integrity, enabling easier retrofits and quicker part replacement on aging automation networks. Neoprene inserts and UV-resistant materials enhance outdoor durability, supporting outdoor automation, marine equipment, and agricultural machinery in varied climates. With 250 mating cycles, the UTS712E2S supports high-use applications, delivering predictable performance and lower lifecycle costs for automation lines and mining-related installations. Operating from -40 to 105 °C, it provides a wide thermal envelope for warehouses, inland waterways, and construction sites, reducing the risk of thermal-related failures and enabling broader deployment across multi-site projects.

FAQs
The UTS712E2S is a jam nut receptacle designed for simple surface mount or panel mounting. Align with the mating connector, insert, then secure the jam nut from the outside to create a watertight seal. Verify the 2 contact positions, ensure the neoprene insert seats properly, and confirm 1/3 bayonet engagement for a secure connection. Orientation is N, and the shell size is 12 to fit standard panel cutouts.
Current rating is 16 A IEC and 13 A UL, with test currents up to 16 A IEC and 13 A CSA. Test voltage is 150 V IEC and 600 V CSA/UL. It carries an IP68 rating, operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, and uses gold-plated solder cup contacts in a 2-contact configuration, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.
Yes. The IP68/69K waterproof rating, UV resistance, and weathering capabilities (including resistance to basic baths, gasoline, mineral oil, and oil) make it well-suited for outdoor automation panels, marine installations, and mobile machinery in challenging climates.
The UTS712E2S complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 standards, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support reliable safety and regulatory compliance across industrial control and automation projects.
With 250 mating cycles and robust material choices (aluminium nut, plastic shell, neoprene insert, gold contacts), the connector provides predictable wear and long service life. This translates to lower replacement frequency, reduced downtime, and a favorable total cost of ownership for multi-site automation deployments.
