IP68/69K protection in a plastic jam nut receptacle minimizes moisture ingress and contamination, offering a measurable reduction in field failures and warranty costs while enabling durable outdoor and harsh-environment installations. This translates to longer service intervals and lower maintenance time in rugged automation environments, making it ideal for machine builders and integrators seeking reliable I/O connectivity in challenging settings. The 23-position layout supports scalable I/O density, enabling efficient panel layouts and easier wiring schematics for complex automation systems and industrial robot applications. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides quick, slam-free mating with decisive retention, reducing installation time and rework on site while improving overall system integrity. Mating cycles rated at 250 ensure repeatable performance in high-cycle automation tasks, supporting long-term production uptime. Compatibility with crimp contact delivery and jam-nut receptacle mounting simplifies installation, maintenance, and replacement in retrofit projects. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C enables operation across extreme climate zones without performance loss, benefiting outdoor equipment and underground mining automation. With polyamide insert material and a plastic shell, the connector delivers lightweight durability suitable for compact control panels and mobile machinery, while UV and chemical resistance support longevity in sun-exposed or industrial solvent environments. The combination of RoHS and fire resistance ratings (UL94 V0) ensures compliance with safety standards without compromising performance in demanding industrial settings. Overall, this connector delivers a robust balance of electrical performance, environmental protection, and ease of installation for engineers optimizing automation layouts.

FAQs
The UTS71823SZ is a jam-nut receptacle with a 1/3 Bayonet coupling and Z keying, designed for crimp contacts in a 23-position layout. It requires a jam-nut mounting approach and supports a stable, dust-tight, water-resistant seal (IP68). For installation, ensure proper crimp contacts are used and align the mating orientation (Z) to achieve reliable engagement and long service life in industrial environments.
This connector delivers IP68 protection, operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, and supports 10 A (UL) / 9 A (IEC) current ratings with 23 cavities. It also offers a 250 mating cycle life, fire resistance (UL94 V0), and UV resistance, making it well-suited for control panels, outdoor equipment, and machinery exposed to harsh conditions.
Yes. The IP68/69K rating, robust polyamide insert, and UV resistance enable reliable performance outdoors or in challenging environments. The material and sealing maintain integrity against mineral oil, acids, and oily atmospheres, while the temperature range ensures dependable operation from subzero to hot conditions typical of outdoor automation and mining equipment.
The UTS71823SZ complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3. These certifications validate safe electrical performance, connector reliability, and conformity to recognized safety standards, which is critical for panel builders, machinery manufacturers, and facilities seeking regulatory compliance and risk reduction in automation systems.
With 23 crimp contacts, IP68/69K protection, and a 250 mating cycle lifespan, maintenance is less frequent and replacement is straightforward, reducing downtime and service costs. The plug-and-play layout combined with quick mating reduces installation time, while the durable housing and seals extend service intervals, yielding measurable uptime improvements and lower total cost of ownership.
