IP68/69K sealing and jam-nut receptacle deliver rugged protection, preserving signal integrity in wet environments. This reduces field failures and maintenance costs, improving uptime for outdoor automation and mobile equipment. Ideal for control panels and rugged robots. Three PCB contacts with gold plating offer low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, boosting reliability and extending component life in harsh environments. This supports stable sensor and actuator interfaces across automation lines. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling simplifies mating and un-mating in tight spaces, accelerating assembly and field servicing; no heavy tooling is needed, which reduces downtime in panel builds and servicing. Designed as a compact panel-mount solution with no backshell requirement, it enables efficient layouts in crowded enclosures. Operating from -40 to 105 °C and rated to 7 A, it sustains performance in extreme conditions while delivering consistent power to critical automation circuits. With 250 mating cycles, the connector offers substantial lifecycle durability, lowering replacement costs in high-cycle applications. The neoprene insert provides environmental sealing while maintaining electrical integrity, and the stainless steel jam-nut mounting ensures robust, vibration-tolerant retention. This combination minimizes maintenance frequency, supports OEM cost projections, and aligns with RoHS/UL/IEC standards for regulated industries.

FAQs
To install, place the jam-nut receptacle through the panel opening and thread the jam nut until the body seats securely. Since backshell is not provided, ensure the neoprene insert is correctly seated to maintain sealing. Align the mating orientation (N) and mate the connector firmly to achieve IP68/69K protection in unmated and mated states. Use compatible panel thickness to achieve proper engagement and avoid gasket compression failures.
The connector carries a 7 A current rating (IEC/UL/CSA) and supports 250 V (UL/CSA) or 50 V (IEC) operation depending on standard. It features 3 gold-plated PCB contacts with a PCB contact type, and a specified mating life of up to 250 cycles. These specs ensure reliable power delivery and signal integrity for control and sensor interfaces in automation projects.
Yes. It has IP68 sealing for unmated conditions, UV resistance, mineral oil resistance, and broad environmental tolerance, including operation from -40 °C to 105 °C. Its materials and resistance profile support outdoor panels, mobile machinery, and rugged industrial applications where moisture, dust, and chemicals may be present.
The UTS78D98P design supports RoHS exemption 6.c, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984. These certifications help assure safety, regulatory compliance, and interoperability across supplier ecosystems, easing procurement for regulated industries and ensuring compatibility within Souriau UTS series components.
With 250 mating cycles and robust environmental resistance, the connector offers predictable lifecycle performance and reduced maintenance costs in high-cycle applications. Its compact jam-nut mounting and absence of a backshell simplify stock management and installation, delivering faster service and lower total cost of ownership for OEMs and maintenance teams.
