IP68/IP69K sealing with neoprene insert and jam-nut receptacle provides durable protection against water ingress, dust, and oil, reducing field failures and maintenance costs in harsh environments. This enables reliable performance in outdoor panels, mobile equipment, and wet process lines. Three gold-plated solder cup contacts offer low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, delivering stable electrical performance and longer life under vibration for sensors, actuators, and 3-wire power connections in automation applications. The 1/3 bayonet coupling allows quick, secure mating with minimal torque, while the jam-nut design ensures a robust seal and easier retrofits in existing cabinets, supporting control panels and remote sensing in mining or energy sectors. Extreme-temperature capability (-40 °C to 105 °C) and UV resistance, combined with plastic shell and aluminum nut, enable dependable operation in sunlit outdoor machinery and demanding industrial environments. Compliance with UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 and RoHS 6.c reduces regulatory risk, while mating cycles of up to 250 support frequent disconnection/reconnection without performance loss, keeping maintenance windows short and predictable. The compact shell size 12 and 25.3 mm depth simplify panel layouts, enabling faster installation and inventory efficiency for OEMs and system integrators.

FAQs
For outdoor panels, mount the jam-nut receptacle securely and use the 1/3 bayonet coupling to ensure proper mating alignment. Avoid over-tightening to preserve the neoprene seal, and verify the connector is oriented correctly (N orientation) before final engagement. This helps maintain IP68/69K protection and minimizes ingress risks during harsh weather or vibration.
The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides fast, repeatable mating with consistent contact alignment, while the gold-plated solder cups offer low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. Together, they deliver reliable current transfer for sensors and actuators, maintain signal integrity under vibration, and support long-term operation in industrial automation panels and field installations.
The UTS712E3P is specified as a jam nut receptacle with a not-delivered backshell option, which should be ordered separately. For compatibility, select backshells and mounting hardware rated for IP68/69K and confirm nut material is aluminum to maintain mechanical integrity and sealing performance in harsh environments.
The connector complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c noted. When sourcing for regulated environments, track these standards to ensure suitability for safety, electrical performance, and supply-chain compliance in North American and international deployments.
The UTS712E3P’s robust IP68/69K sealing, 250 mating cycles, and durable gold-plated contacts reduce field failures and routine maintenance. Its compact size and quick mating ease accelerate assembly, improve uptime, and lower labor costs in automation projects, sensors networks, and remote equipment installations, delivering measurable ROI over the equipment lifetime.
