The UTS712E4S uses a jam nut receptacle design with a 1/3 bayonet coupling that delivers quick, tool-free mating in rugged environments, reducing downtime during service intervals and improving installation efficiency for field technicians. This configuration supports a 16 A IEC / 10 A UL current rating and a 500 V test voltage, which translates into robust power delivery for machinery and equipment while maintaining safety margins in harsh conditions. The four-contact, gold-plated solder cup arrangement ensures dependable signal and power transmission with low contact resistance across lifecycle mating cycles (up to 250), improving reliability in vibration-heavy applications such as industrial conveyors and mobile equipment. The IP68 rating, combined with neoprene insert material and plastic shell, provides durable water and dust sealing, minimizing ingress risks in washdown zones and outdoor environments. Compatibility with Souriau UTS series components and the jam nut receptacle format streamlines spares inventory and prevents compatibility headaches during capital upgrades. Industry-specific benefits include predictable maintenance planning, reduced replacement parts, and a clear path to compliance with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA standards, helping procurement teams meet regulatory expectations while delivering measurable uptime gains. The design also supports UV resistance and resistance to various chemical exposures, making it suitable for long-term deployment in automotive, marine, and heavy equipment settings where continuous operation is paramount.

FAQs
UTS712E4S is designed as a jam nut receptacle in the Souriau UTS family, with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and 4 contact cavities. It mates with corresponding UTS plugs and is specified for IP68 sealing in unmated conditions. For best results, pair with a compatible backshell option ordered separately and ensure orientation is set to N as indicated in product specs.
The device is rated for 16 A IEC and 10 A UL, with a test voltage of up to 500 V CSA/UL and 300 V IEC. Contact plating is gold, and the contact type is solder cup, providing reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Yes. It carries IP68 protection and UV-resistant materials, with environmental resistance that includes resistance to acids, oils, and basic baths. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 105 °C, making it appropriate for outdoor, washdown, and vehicle-mounted applications requiring durable sealing and temperature tolerance.
Certifications include IEC 61984, RoHS exemption 6.c, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and UL 1977. These ensure electrical safety, environmental compliance, and suitability for use in North American and international markets, helping you meet procurement standards and regulatory requirements on industrial projects.
The four-contact, gold-plated solder cups and jam-nut design reduce maintenance downtime and field installation time, while the IP68/69K sealing minimizes ingress-related failures. Over the product life, this translates to lower spare-part costs, fewer service interventions, and improved asset uptime, which collectively improve total cost of ownership in harsh environments.
