The IP68/IP69K rating and sealed plastic housing protect connectors from moisture, dust, oils, and chemical exposure, which directly reduces field failure rates and warranty costs while improving uptime in wet or dirty environments. This translates into tangible reliability gains for automated lines, outdoor equipment, and mobile machinery, where quick, secure connectivity matters. The 12-contact layout with gold-plated solder cup contacts enables robust signal integrity and straightforward harness design, lowering commissioning time and rework while supporting mixed-signal and power feeds in a single receptacle. The 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers fast, tool-free mating with dependable retention, cutting maintenance time during panel assembly and service. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C and with 250 mating cycles, the solution delivers long life in extreme conditions common to industrial automation and outdoor installations. Aluminium nut and neoprene insert support rugged sealing and corrosion resistance, helping you meet demanding environmental and regulatory requirements while simplifying field upgrades. As part of the UTS series, this receptacle maintains compatibility with established Souriau connectors, enabling scalable, cost-effective system expansion without redesigns or special tooling.
