FAQs
The UTS78E2PX is a jam nut receptacle featuring 1/3 Bayonet coupling and X keying, designed to mate with compatible UTS series plugs. Its compact 25.3 mm length and 24 mm width support dense panel layouts, while the aluminum nut and neoprene insert ensure a reliable, sealed installation in harsh environments.
The unit provides a 7 A current rating with a test voltage of 250 V (UL/CSA) and 32 V (IEC). It operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, making it suitable for mixed indoor/outdoor applications and machinery exposed to wide temperature swings.
Yes. With IP68 protection (and compatibility with IP69K in unmated conditions), UV resistance, and oil/gas resistance documented in its environmental specs, the connector is designed for outdoor, off-road, and mobile equipment where ingress protection and durability matter.
The connector carries UL 1977, CSA C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 certifications, plus RoHS exemption 6.c. These approvals support safety, electrical compliance, and restricted substance requirements across North America and Europe, helping manufacturers meet regulatory obligations and customer audits.
Lightweight design (6.6 g) with a jam-nut receptacle and 1/3 Bayonet coupling reduces assembly time and field rework. The robust IP68/69K sealing and 250 mating cycles lower maintenance frequency, extending service life and lowering total cost of ownership in automation panels and rugged equipment.
