Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68/69K protection delivers reliable performance in wet and dusty environments, reducing maintenance and replacement costs while increasing uptime in outdoor enclosures and maritime/rail applications. The 7 A current rating and 32 V IEC/250 V CSA/UL test voltage provide predictable electrical performance across typical automation sensor and actuator circuits, enabling safer, compliant system design in control cabinets. Gold-plated PCB contacts minimize contact resistance over time, improving signal integrity in high-vibration machinery like conveyors and packaging lines. The jam nut receptacle design eliminates backshell dependencies, lowering assembly time and part count, while 2-pin layouts fit compact PLC or microcontroller interfaces. Compatibility with Souriau UTS series simplifies part substitutions and spare-part stocking for OEMs. With 250 mating cycles, lifecycle cost is reduced through durable, maintainable connections. The broad operating temperature range (-40 °C to 105 °C) supports outdoor or vehicle-mounted systems without performance loss, addressing customers' needs for rugged connectivity in harsh environments. The absence of a backshell option is mitigated by straightforward mounting and sealing performance of the jam nut design, simplifying installation in tight spaces.
