FAQs
The UTS714E18SX is part of the Souriau UTS series and shares mounting, coupling, and insert materials specifications enabling seamless compatibility with other UTS receptacles and plugs. When integrating multiple UTS parts, ensure identical insert material, shell size, and bayonet coupling to maintain IP68 sealing and mechanical alignment across assemblies.
For installation, the jam-nut receptacle uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling and requires proper tightening to achieve IP68 sealing. Ensure the neoprene insert seats correctly, mating cable assemblies match the 18-contact layout, and that the enclosure bore diameter aligns with the 34.9 mm shell width. Use the jam-nut mounting to secure the connection against vibration.
Expect a 5 A IEC current rating (4 A UL) and a 250 V rating with 18 gold-plated solder-cup contacts. The connector supports up to 250 V and has been tested for up to 250 V in CSA contexts. Mating cycles are rated at 250, ensuring reliable operation in repetitive mating scenarios typical of automation equipment.
Key references include IEC 61984, UL 1977, ROHS exemption 6.c, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3. These certifications support safety, environmental, and compatibility requirements in industrial designs. Always verify local regulatory acceptance and any additional customer-specific compliance needs for your region or sector.
Benefits include reduced maintenance due to IP68 sealing and robust vibration resistance, longer service life from gold-plated contacts and corrosion-resistant shell, and fewer field failures in washdown environments. The compact 18-contact layout simplifies wiring, potentially lowering installation time and overall lifecycle costs for automation projects.
