FAQs
The UTS78E2SX uses a jam-nut receptacle with 1/3 bayonet coupling and X-keying. It is supplied as a receptacle with two solder-cup contacts and requires separate accessory backshells if needed. Overall, it offers a compact footprint and straightforward mounting for tight panel spaces.
The connector provides a 7 A current rating (UL and IEC) and a voltage rating of 250 V (CSA/UL) with 32 V rated per IEC in some configurations. It uses two contacts with gold plating and solder-cup termination for reliable, corrosion-resistant connections.
Yes. It features IP68 sealing in unmated conditions and operates from -40 °C to 105 °C, with UV resistance and mineral oil tolerance. These attributes make it suitable for outdoor equipment, control panels, and washdown environments in automation and mobile machinery.
The part complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c, helping you meet regulatory requirements for global deployments and end-user safety standards.
The connector ships without a backshell, which should be ordered separately if protection beyond the jam-nut receptacle is required. Choose appropriate backshells and mounting hardware based on your harness routing, environmental exposure, and regulatory needs.
