FAQs
The UTS78D2PW uses two PCB contacts in a jam-nut receptacle format with gold-plated pins designed for surface or panel-mount PCB layouts. Its 2-contact arrangement fits compact PCB footprints and supports reliable soldered or crimp-free connections in constrained enclosures.
This connector complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support regulatory compliance for North American and international installations and align with safety and environmental standards.
The UTS78D2PW is rated at 7 A with test currents of 7 A and test voltages up to 32 V IEC and 250 V CSA/UL. It offers IP68 protection, operating from -40 °C to 105 °C, and environmental resistance to oils, acids, and UV exposure, suitable for harsh industrial environments.
The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick, positive mating while the jam-nut receptacle ensures a secure mechanical seal. The design excludes a backshell, enabling a compact footprint and simpler cable routing in tight enclosures or control panels.
No, the product specification indicates no backshell option is available, which is advantageous for minimal enclosure intrusion and streamlined installations in space-constrained applications.
