Feature → Business Impact → Application: The UTS71492SW uses a jam nut receptacle with 12 crimp sockets in a plastic shell, delivering IP68 protection that minimizes ingress in rugged outdoor equipment. This reduces field failure rates and maintenance costs, enabling reliable operation for mobile machinery and automated systems in dirty or wet environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 bayonet coupling provides fast, secure mating without tools, accelerating installation and service in constrained panels or on conveyors, while maintaining vibration resistance in high‑shock applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C and resistance to oils, acids, and UV exposure ensure reliability across factory floors, outdoor installations, and remote equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 12 female contacts with crimp delivery and 10 A current rating supports standard control and sensor wiring with predictable electrical performance, reducing the need for bulkier connectors and simplifying mass harness design. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mating cycles of 250 and a 600 V test voltage provide confidence for automotive, industrial automation, and field service environments where connectors endure repeated connect/disconnect cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Lightweight aluminum nut or jam-nut receptacle design reduces overall harness weight and assembly time, improving installation efficiency and lowering labor costs across multiple SKUs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compliance with UL, CSA, IEC standards and RoHS ensures regulatory alignment and sustainability, helping meet customer procurement requirements and corporate ESG targets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The Souriau UTS series is compatible with standard 12‑cavity inserts and Crimp contact types, enabling seamless substitution or upgrade within existing equipment footprints without major redesigns. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The embedded UV resistance and chemical tolerance support outdoor equipment exposed to sun, moisture, and chemical exposure, reducing replaced components and prolonging service life in demanding environments.

FAQs
Install begins with matching the 12‑contact receptacle to the mating partner, securing with the jam nut, and crimping each contact to the harness conductors. The W orientation and 1/3 bayonet coupling ensure correct alignment and fast mating. Note that a backshell is not included and must be ordered separately if external shielding is required.
Yes. The connector is rated IP68, providing excellent dust and water ingress protection for harsh outdoor environments. Its plastic shell and contact seal materials maintain performance under exposure to UV, oil, and moisture, helping to minimize field failures in outdoor automation, mobile machinery, and weather-exposed installations.
The UTS71492SW provides a 10 A current rating (IEC/UL) with a 7 A CSA rating and a 600 V test voltage (CSA/UL). It uses crimp contacts and supports 12 positions in a jam-nut receptacle, making it suitable for control circuits and sensor wiring in industrial applications.
The connector complies with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, UL 1977, and IEC 61984. It is RoHS compliant and meets fire & smoke requirements (I2F3 per NFF 16101/16102). These certifications help satisfy regulatory and supplier requirements for industrial equipment and automotive-related assemblies.
With 250 mating cycles and robust resistance to oils, UV exposure, and temperature extremes, maintenance intervals extend compared with cheaper options. The lightweight plastic design reduces harness weight, and the reliable IP68 protection minimizes unplanned downtime, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for fleets, OEMs, and service providers.
