FAQs
The UTS78CCRG is designed for direct compatibility with the Eaton Souriau UTS receptacle family, enabling plug-and-play installation. It uses the standard UTS mating interface and the green coding ring aids correct orientation and mating. For installation, ensure clean alignment, engage with a steady push to the rated depth, and verify a secure latch to guarantee IP68/69k protection. Suitable for field service and OEM assembly workflows.
This connector provides IP68/69k ingress protection, safeguarding against dust and powerful water exposure during washdowns. It is RoHS and REACH compliant and carries UL94 V0 flammability, which supports safety and regulatory requirements for European and global deployments. The 1 g weight and compact dimensions also reduce strain on cables and simplify mounting in tight spaces.
Yes. The IP68/69k rating is specifically designed for wet and dirty environments, including outdoor installations and washdown procedures. The plastic housing resists corrosion, and the RoHS/REACH compliance, along with UL94 V0, ensures long-term safety and environmental compliance in harsh industrial settings such as food processing, chemical plants, and outdoor automation.
Key certifications include RoHS and REACH compliance to meet European and global environmental standards, and UL94 V0 flammability for safety in electrical components. The IP68/69k rating provides strong ingress protection. These attributes help streamline regulatory approvals and supplier qualification for global automation projects.
The UTS78CCRG reduces downtime through reliable sealing and quick mating, lowering maintenance and field service time. Its compatibility with existing UTS receptacles minimizes spare parts inventory and integration effort. Although price varies by distributor, the long-term savings from fewer washdown-related failures and faster assemblies typically justify the initial investment in this robust Souriau connector.
