FAQs
UTS712E8PZ is a jam-nut receptacle with 8 male solder contacts and a Z orientation. It mates with Souriau UTS series counterparts using a 1/3 bayonet coupling. The unit ships without a backshell; order backshells and any required connector accessories separately. This setup enables quick field assembly, straightforward panel mounting, and compatible integration with standard UTS housings for consistent electrical performance.
The connector supports 4.5 A current rating (UL) and 6 A (IEC), with test voltages of 32 V (IEC) and 250 V (UL/CSA). It is rated for up to 250 mating cycles, making it suitable for equipment with frequent connector engagements. These specs help ensure reliable operation in automation and control circuits across diverse applications.
Yes. The UTS712E8PZ offers IP68 sealing (unmated conditions noted as IP68/69K applicability), UV resistance, and resistance to oils, basic baths, and gasoline. Its neoprene insert and plastic shell are designed for long-term use in demanding environments, such as outdoor automation, marine applications, and maintenance-heavy facilities, with robust protection against wash-downs and weather exposure.
The UTS712E8PZ complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, ROHS exemption 6.c, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3. These certifications verify safety, interoperability, and environmental compliance across North American and international projects, reducing risk in regulated industries and simplifying qualification processes for vendor approval and procurement.
Key ROI drivers include 250 mating cycles, durable gold-plated contacts, and 500-hour salt spray resistance, which translate to longer service life and lower replacement frequency. The compact Z-keyed jam-nut design speeds installation, while compatibility with the UTS family ensures scalable integration across multiple machines and sites, reducing downtime and total ownership costs.
