FAQs
The UTS78D4SW is a jam-nut receptacle designed for live panel mounting without a backshell. Align the four PCB contacts with the mating plug, thread the jam nut to the panel, and tighten to spec to ensure proper sealing. Use appropriate sealing methodology for IP68 systems and verify mating integrity after installation to maintain protection ratings.
This connector provides a 7 A current rating with 250 V ratings (CSA/UL) and 32 V (IEC). It hosts four PCB contacts with gold plating and supports up to 250 mating cycles. Ensure your harness design accounts for these limits and select mating components that preserve the IP68/69K integrity during service and inspection.
Yes. The shell is plastic with neoprene insert materials and an IP68 protection level, offering resistance to immersion and UV exposure. It’s designed to tolerate various fluids, including mineral oil and gasoline, while maintaining electrical integrity, making it suitable for rugged outdoor machinery and wash-down environments.
The UTS78D4SW complies with IP68 protection, UL 1977, and IEC 61984, with additional RoHS exemption 6.c and CSA-related considerations noted. These certifications help ensure safety, interoperability, and regulatory alignment in industrial control panels and machinery applications.
The part supports up to 250 mating cycles and features robust, gold-plated PCB contacts for durable performance. With a compact, corrosion-resistant jam-nut design and wide operating temperature range, maintenance intervals lengthen and downtime decreases, translating to lower total cost of ownership in automated lines and outdoor equipment.
