FAQs
To install the UTS78D2P32, prepare a panel cutout to accept the jam-nut receptacle and mount the connector from the front. Ensure the two PCB contacts are loaded in the receptacle before tightening the jam nut to establish a watertight seal. Verify the 1/3 bayonet coupling engages fully and confirm the IP68 seal remains intact after mating.
The connector provides a 7 A current rating, supports up to 250 V, and features two gold-plated PCB contacts. It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C and is IP68-rated for ingress protection in unmated conditions. It is designed for up to 250 mating cycles and includes materials such as Neoprene insert with a plastic shell for durability.
Yes. Its IP68/69K sealing, UV resistance, and oil/gasoline resistance make it well-suited for outdoor automation and harsh industrial environments. The -40 to 105 °C operating window supports equipment exposed to temperature extremes, while the robust jam-nut receptacle design simplifies mounting in field-installed panels.
The UTS78D2P32 carries UL 1977 and IEC 61984 compliance, along with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 and RoHS exemptions. These certifications help satisfy regulatory requirements for industrial products and reduce compliance risk in multi-region deployments, facilitating safer integration into control cabinets and machinery.
With 250 mating cycles and durable IP68/69K sealing, the UTS78D2P32 supports long service life in demanding environments. Maintenance planning benefits from reliable gas/oil resistance and minimal ingress risk, while the 2-position PCB configuration keeps wiring simple.
