IP68/IP69K sealing protects against moisture and dust ingress, reducing corrosion risk and maintenance costs while enabling reliable operation in wet or dusty environments for outdoor automation panels and field devices. The business impact is increased uptime and predictable performance, with applications in harsh industrial and outdoor settings. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast, secure mating in cramped or hard-to-reach spaces, cutting installation time and minimizing field labor costs for equipment like conveyors and mobile machinery. The 8 gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver stable electrical performance with excellent corrosion resistance, supporting long-term reliability in demanding environments and reducing maintenance intervals for sensors and control devices. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 105 °C and 250 mating cycles provide confidence for extreme industrial applications and process automation. Insert material Neoprene and Aluminium jam nut contribute to material compatibility and mechanical strength, improving mount integrity and vibration resistance on heavy-duty equipment. Compliance to IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 and RoHS exemption 6.c supports global regulatory acceptance, while the plastic shell keeps weight low for easy installation on compact panels and mobile units.

FAQs
The UTS712E8SZ is a jam-nut receptacle designed for panel mounting without a backshell. Plan for the Z orientation during mating, and use a suitable nut and gasket sequence to maintain IP68 sealing. Ensure the Neoprene insert remains correctly seated to preserve environmental protection and confirm mating with a compatible Souriau UTS mate set.
Key specs include a 4.5 A current rating (UL) and 6 A (IEC), 32 V (IEC/CSA), IP68 sealing, operating range -40 °C to 105 °C, and 250 mating cycles. These figures indicate strong resistance to moisture, temperature extremes, and repeated mating, making the connector reliable for outdoor machinery, pumps, and field-mounted sensors.
Yes. The UTS712E8SZ uses Souriau’s UTS series mating geometry with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and a 12-shell size, designed to be compatible with other UTS receptacles and plugs within the same family. Confirm shell size compatibility and ensure correct keying (Z) for safe, repeatable mating in system assemblies.
The connector meets IEC 61984 and UL 1977, supports CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and has RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications help ensure safety, interoperability, and regulatory acceptance across many global markets, particularly in industrial automation, machinery, and electrical equipment applications.
With 8 gold-plated solder cups and robust IP68 sealing, maintenance intervals are extended due to reduced corrosion risk and reliable connections. The mating cycles (250) and wide operating temperature range minimize intermittent failures, lowering downtime and service costs. Quick mating via 1/3 bayonet coupling also decreases installation time, delivering faster project deployment and improved total cost of ownership.
