Feature IP68/69k rating and jam-nut receptacle provides exceptional ingress protection and secure mounting, reducing field failures and maintenance costs in muddy, wet, and dusty environments. Business Impact This translates to higher equipment uptime and lower service frequency in outdoor automation installations, such as mobile machines and weather-exposed control panels. Application Common in rugged outdoor equipment and industrial machinery, where reliable sealing is critical. Feature eight gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, supporting stable signal transmission for sensors, controllers, and field networks. Business Impact Improved diagnostic accuracy and longer-lasting connections reduce replacement cycles and downtime. Application Industrial control cabinets, remote I/O blocks, and field wiring in harsh environments. Feature 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast, vibration-tolerant mating with repeatable alignment, speeding assembly and reducing risk during panel installation. Business Impact Shorter commissioning times and fewer mis-mates translate to lower installation labor costs. Application Mobile equipment, construction sites, and offshore environments. Feature operating temperature -40 °C to 105 °C and 6 A IEC / 4.5 A UL current rating support broad operating envelopes while maintaining performance. Business Impact Enables reliable operation across cold starts and high-temperature runs, minimizing equipment derating. Application Food and beverage processing outdoors, automotive, and material handling. Feature environmental resistance to mineral oil, acid bath, UV exposure, and salt spray (500 hours) plus standard RoHS exemptions provides durable performance in challenging environments. Business Impact Reduces corrosion-related failures and warranty costs, extending service life. Application Marine, heavy machinery, and long-term outdoor installations. Feature compatibility with Souriau UTS series and a jam-nut receptacle design simplifies sourcing and spare-part planning. Business Impact Streamlined procurement, better inventory control, and faster replacement, improving maintenance ROI. Application Systems integrators and OEMs delivering rugged automation solutions.

FAQs
The UTS712E8SW is a jam-nut receptacle designed for W orientation with a plastic shell and aluminium nut. It mounts via a jam-nut style interface using standard Souriau mating geometries and supports the 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick, secure mating. For installation, ensure correct panel cutout, torque on the jam nut, and consider optional accessory components ordered separately to tailor fitment.
The connector provides a 6 A current rating per IEC and 4.5 A per UL, with test voltages of 250 V CSA and 250 V UL (32 V IEC). Eight contacts support solder-cup terminations with gold plating for reliable signal integrity in control circuits and sensor networks, suitable for rugged industrial environments.
Yes. It carries IP68 sealing (and IP69K in unmated conditions) and is UV resistant, chemically resistant to mineral oil and acids, with 500-hour salt spray testing. This makes it well-suited for outdoor equipment, offshore or remote installations, and aging submersible or wash-down environments.
The part is compliant with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, with ROHS exemption 6.c. This combination supports safety, electrical performance, and environmental compliance across global deployments, reducing certification hurdles for assemblies that integrate this receptacle.
With 250 mating cycles and robust UV/acid/oil resistance, maintenance intervals can be extended and downtime reduced. The gold-plated contacts minimize contact degradation, and the modular bayonet coupling speeds field replacements, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and improved uptime in harsh environments.
