IP68/IP69K protection in unmated condition reduces ingress risk, delivering higher uptime for outdoor automation, conveyors, and mobile machinery. The four gold-plated solder cup contacts provide low resistance and corrosion resistance, supporting stable power and signal transmission in control panels and sensor networks. A 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast, secure mating even in tight spaces, cutting installation time and improving maintenance efficiency in rugged environments. The neoprene insert and jam-nut receptacle deliver reliable sealing and rugged mounting, while backshell accessories are available separately to tailor the assembly to your enclosure. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C with up to 250 mating cycles, the UTS78E4P is designed for long life in demanding industrial applications and can be integrated with standard Souriau UTS series components for scalable solutions.

FAQs
Mount the panel with the 24 x 24 mm cutout, slide in the jam-nut receptacle, and tighten the nut to seal. Align the mating plug and twist the 1/3 bayonet coupling to lock. Note that the backshell is not included and must be ordered separately; use a neoprene seal insert for optimal moisture protection during installation.
The connector is rated for 7 A (UL and IEC). Test current is 7 A and test voltage is 250 V for UL/CSA, with 32 V rated on IEC tests. The contacts are gold-plated solder cups suitable for low-resistance power and signal paths.
Yes. It features IP68 protection (IP68 in unmated conditions) and UV resistance, with broad environmental tolerance from -40 °C to 105 °C. It also withstands vibrations per IEC 60512-4 (10–2000 Hz) and has seals designed to resist oil, gasoline, and various baths, making it ideal for outdoor and harsh-industry installations.
It complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications verify safety, interoperability with global electrical standards, and environmental compliance, simplifying procurement, qualification testing, and installation in multinational facilities.
Mating cycles are rated at 250, indicating good long-term durability in frequent connect/disconnect scenarios. Regular inspection of seals and contacts is advised, and since backshells are sold separately, plan for accessory availability to maintain environmental integrity in your installation.
