FAQs
UTS712E4P is a jam nut receptacle with a 1/3 bayonet coupling designed for quick mating. Backshells are not included and must be ordered separately; use the jam nut to secure the housing against the panel, then mate with the corresponding plug. Ensure the neoprene insert is in place and verify the 4-way layout aligns with the mating connector to maintain IP68/69K sealing in unmated conditions.
The connector offers 16 A IEC and 10 A UL current ratings, with 500 V CSA/UL and 300 V IEC ratings. It supports 250 mating cycles and operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, making it suitable for high-cycle, extreme-temperature automation environments.
Yes. The UTS712E4P provides IP68 sealing, UV resistance, and resistance to oil, gasoline, and basic baths. Its plastic shell and aluminium nut are designed for outdoor exposure and vibrational environments, supporting reliable performance across industrial outdoor equipment and packaging lines.
This connector complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support safety, compatibility with industrial controls, and regulatory alignment in regulated environments.
Key contributors are IP68/69K sealing for minimal ingress, gold-plated solder cups for reliable contact performance, and 250 mating cycles for durable, serviceable connections. The 4-position layout simplifies wiring and harness design, while the optional ground cavity and quick-mate features reduce installation time and maintenance overhead, delivering measurable uptime gains.
