The UTS712E8PX leverages IP68/69K sealing for protection against water and dust ingress, delivering higher uptime in wash-down environments and outdoor applications. This translates to fewer field failures and lower maintenance costs in conveyors, robotic cells, and packaging lines. The 8 gold-plated solder cup contacts provide low-contact resistance and corrosion resistance, enhancing signal integrity and long-term reliability for control wiring and sensor networks. The 1/3 bayonet coupling offers fast, vibration-resistant mating, reducing installation time and enabling quicker changes during line changeovers. A jam-nut receptacle in aluminum supports secure panel mounting, while Neoprene insert and plastic shell deliver chemical and UV resistance, expanding suitability to environments with oils, fuels, and UV exposure. With operating temperatures from -40 °C to 105 °C and 250 mating cycles, this connector supports demanding industrial use without compromising performance. Compliance with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA standards helps simplify regulatory documentation and supplier qualification, while RoHS alignment supports sustainable procurement programs. Compatibility with optional accessories (not included) enables tailor-made solutions for backshelling and cable management, reducing total installed cost and accelerating time-to-value for machine builders.

FAQs
The UTS712E8PX is a jam nut receptacle designed for panel mounting with an aluminium jam nut. A backshell is not included by default and would be ordered separately if your installation requires additional strain relief or EMI/RFI shielding. This design enables compact, secure mounting in tight spaces and through-panel configurations.
The connector provides a current rating of 4.5 A (UL) and 6 A (IEC), with a test current of 4.5 A (UL) / 6 A (IEC) and a test voltage of 250 V (UL/CSA) or 32 V (IEC). This supports reliable control wiring and sensor networks while maintaining safety margins in typical automation environments.
Yes. It carries an IP68 rating suitable for submerged or high-pressure wash-down conditions and is UV resistant with long-term environmental stability. It also demonstrates resistance to gasoline, mineral oil, and acid/base baths, making it well-suited for outdoor machines, vehicle-mounted systems, and process equipment.
The UTS712E8PX complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemptions. This alignment supports regulatory documentation, supplier qualification, and compliance in global automation projects, reducing design risk and expediting approvals for industrial equipment.
The receptacle has a length of 25.3 mm, and a width and height of 31.8 mm, with 8 contacts arranged in the cavity set. The contacts are gold-plated and oriented for pin (male) configurations, yielding robust solder cup connections suitable for tight panel layouts and compact harness runs.
