FAQs
Begin by selecting a panel cutout compatible with the UTS shell size and orientation. Insert the jam-nut receptacle from the exterior, align the cutout, then tighten the jam nut until the shell seats firmly against the panel. Confirm the neoprene insert seals properly and ensure the contacts are fully mated with the corresponding plug. Note that the connector accessory is not included and may need to be ordered separately.
The unit provides eight (8) contact positions with gold-plated Solder Cup contacts. Electrical ratings include 6 A IEC, 4.5 A UL/CSA, and voltages of 32 V IEC and 250 V CSA/UL. It features a 1/3 bayonet coupling and a jam-nut receptacle configuration suitable for sealed installations in demanding environments.
Yes. It carries IP68 sealing suitable for unmated conditions and is UV resistant with a broad operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C. It also demonstrates resistance to mineral oil, oil, and basic or acid baths, making it suitable for outdoor, offshore, and mobile machinery applications.
The connector adheres to IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 standards, with RoHS exemptions (6.c). It also notes UV resistance and general environmental compliance, supporting reliability in regulated industrial environments.
Connector accessories are not delivered as part of the base receptacle and must be ordered separately. This includes back shells or additional mating hardware as needed for your enclosure, mounting orientation, and protection requirements. Verify compatibility with your panel layout and mating plug to ensure a complete, sealed connection.
