FAQs
The UTS712E8PW is a jam-nut receptacle designed for panel mounting without a backshell. Install by inserting through the panel and tightening the jam nut to seal. Orientation is W, and mating with a compatible UTS plug completes the connection. Note that a backshell is not included and an accessory must be ordered separately if required for additional strain relief or EMI protection.
This connector is rated for 4.5 A UL and 6 A IEC, with a 250 V UL and 32 V IEC rating. It complies with RoHS exemption 6.c, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, supporting global deployment and regulatory alignment across multiple regions.
Yes. It features an IP68/IP69K rating, UV resistance, and resistance to oil, gasoline, and acidic baths. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C further supports reliability in outdoor, automotive, and industrial installations, reducing the risk of ingress-related failures in challenging environments.
The UTS712E8PW is a UTS series jam-nut receptacle with 8 contacts and 1/3 bayonet coupling, designed to mate with corresponding Souriau UTS plugs. It follows the same mechanical footprint and keying (W orientation), enabling straightforward integration into existing UTS-based harnesses and assemblies.
With 250 mating cycles, 500-hour salt spray resistance, and gold-plated contacts, the UTS712E8PW offers long-term durability and lower maintenance needs. Its robust IP rating and environmental resistance translate into reduced downtime, fewer field replacements, and a favorable total cost of ownership for automated lines and outdoor equipment.
