IP68/IP69K rated plastic housing provides robust ingress protection and washdown resilience, reducing the risk of water and dust damage in harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: This level of protection translates to lower maintenance costs and longer uptime in food processing, chemical plants, and outdoor automation stations, where frequent cleaning occurs. The jam-nut receptacle design saves mounting space and time during panel assembly, enabling faster hardware changes and streamlined field upgrades in retrofits and new builds. The 12-position layout supports compact wiring schemes, improving cable management and reducing panel footprint in compact control cabinets. The 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers quick, secure mating, lowering installation time and ensuring consistent electrical contact in vibration-prone environments such as conveyors and robotic cells. With a 10 A rating and 250 mating cycles, operators gain reliability over long service life, minimizing replacement costs and unplanned downtime. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C, the connector remains functional across extreme environments, enabling reliable performance in cold rooms, outdoor substations, and high-heat panels. The insert material polyamide and shell plastic deliver a balance of toughness and lightweight design, easing transport and installation in tight spaces while maintaining chemical resistance. Environmental resistance includes oil, basic bath, and UV exposure, ensuring sustained performance in industrial washdowns and outdoor installations. Fitted with plastic receptacle components and aluminum nut, the connector combines durability with corrosion resistance, supporting long-term service in mixed-material assemblies. Compliance with UL, IEC, and CSA standards provides validation for regulated industries, facilitating procurement approvals and supplier qualification. The design supports compatibility with standard crimp contacts, simplifying stocking, and reducing the risk of obsolescence in evolving automation ecosystems. The option for first mate last break provides flexibility for wiring sequences, improving fault isolation and future modular upgrades in complex control panels.

FAQs
The UTS71412S uses a jam nut receptacle design meant for panel mounting with a 12-position layout. Plan for a compatible panel cutout and ensure a secure jam nut installation to seal against IP68 ingress. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides quick, secure mating, while the option for First Mate Last Break enhances fault isolation during wiring. Verify orientation (N) and ensure crimp contacts are fully seated for reliable electrical contact in vibration-prone environments.
The connector supports a 10 A current rating (test current also 10 A) and a 600 V test voltage across multiple standards, with a 12-contact configuration. It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and achieves IP68 protection, suitable for washdown and outdoor use. The unit employs a polyamide insert and plastic shell, offering UV resistance and resistance to oil, basic baths, and mineral oil for sustained performance in tough environments.
Yes. The UTS71412S features IP68 protection and environmental resistance including UV stability and oil/gasoline resistance, making it suitable for washdown environments common in food processing, chemical handling, and outdoor automation. Its materials (polyamide insert, plastic shell) have been selected to withstand UV exposure and chemical contact, helping maintain performance and appearance over time in demanding settings.
This connector complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3. These certifications matter for design validation, safety, and regulatory approvals, particularly in North American and international markets. They help procurement teams meet company standards, ease supplier qualification, and reduce risk when integrating the UTS71412S into certified equipment and systems such as automation controllers, sensors, and control panels.
