The IP68/IP69K sealing is designed to keep moisture, dust and immersion out, delivering proven protection for control wiring in outdoor and harsh industrial spaces, reducing field failures and service calls. This translates to higher equipment uptime and lower maintenance costs in automation panels and outdoor machinery. The UTS78E2PW uses two gold-plated solder cup contacts that provide reliable electrical performance with corrosion resistance, supporting stable signal and power transfer for critical control circuits in robotics, conveyors, and process equipment. Its 1/3 bayonet coupling and jam-nut receptacle enable quick, repeatable mating and secure retention even in vibration-heavy environments, streamlining installation and serviceability during field upgrades or retrofits. With a compact footprint (25.3 mm length, 24 mm height and width) and a 7 A current rating, it fits where space is at a premium while maintaining robust protection and electrical integrity. The neoprene insert and aluminium nut provide reliable sealing and mechanical stability; this combination improves resistance to oil, mineral oil and chemical baths, supporting long-term performance in demanding manufacturing settings. Compliant with IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 and RoHS exemption 6.c, the connector helps procurement teams meet regulatory requirements across multiple regions while reducing risk in supplier qualification. When paired with compatible Souriau UTS accessories, installation is streamlined, and the small form factor supports compact control panels and mobile equipment, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle.

FAQs
The UTS78E2PW uses a jam-nut receptacle with a 1/3 bayonet coupling that enables quick mating. In confined panels, position the receptacle so the backnut threads engage smoothly, then tighten the aluminium nut to seal. Remember that no backshell is included, so plan for compatible accessory ordering and proper strain-relief at the soldered connections.
IP68/69K protection is achieved through a rugged plastic shell, neoprene insert, and proper sealing interfaces, while the 7 A current rating supports dependable power delivery for control circuits. The combination reduces ingress risk during immersion and boosts reliability in wash-down sites, conveyors, and outdoor equipment.
Access to the full UTS ecosystem requires pairing the jam-nut receptacle with compatible accessories not delivered with the base unit. A backshell and other mating components may be ordered separately. The connector orientation is W, with two male solder contacts, making sure you select the appropriate accessory to maintain IP protection and wiring integrity.
This connector references IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications help meet global safety, performance, and environmental requirements for electrical panels and automation gear, simplifying cross-border procurement and reducing regulatory risk for system integrators.
With 250 mating cycles and robust environmental resistance (UV, oil, acid baths, mineral oil, gasoline), the UTS78E2PW reduces downtime and maintenance frequency in high-vibration environments. The gold-plated contacts ensure stable connections, while the compact design lowers panel space costs. Over a typical deployment, these factors translate into lower maintenance costs and improved system availability.
