FAQs
The unit is a Jam Nut Receptacle intended for front-panel mounting using a jam nut. It ships without a backshell and requires a separate back-shell accessory if needed. With 8 solder cup contacts and a Y orientation, plan wiring harness routing to avoid stress on the solder junctions and ensure the mating surface remains clean and dry for optimal IP68/69K sealing.
This connector delivers IP68/69K protection, operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, and supports 6 A IEC / 4.5 A UL current ratings with 8 gold-plated solder cups. It tolerates oils, fuels, UV exposure, and vibrations up to IEC 60512-4 standards, making it suitable for outdoor machinery, mining equipment, and rugged automation panels.
Yes. It complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c. The product is designed to meet safety and performance requirements for industrial connectors, and the IP68/69K rating provides additional assurance for sealed installations in challenging environments.
The UTS712E8PY supports up to 250 mating cycles, with a robust metal-aluminium jam nut and plastic shell that resist environmental stresses. Salt spray resistance (500 hours) and UV durability further contribute to long-term reliability in outdoor and manufacturing environments, reducing maintenance frequency and lifecycle costs.
By delivering reliable IP68/69K sealing, durable gold-plated contacts, and a bayonet coupling for quick mating, the UTS712E8PY reduces downtime and field servicing time.
