FAQs
The UTS7GN128PW is part of the Souriau UTS family and uses standard UTS series interfaces, ensuring compatibility with corresponding housings, backshells, and mating connectors. When pairing with other UTS components, verify the keying (W) and bayonet coupling to ensure proper alignment and a reliable seal. Always consult the official catalog for compatibility matrices in complex harness assemblies.
Key considerations include ensuring proper alignment of the mating pair before engagement, using the jam nut and grommet backshell to secure the connector against mechanical strain, and verifying that the enclosure or panel provides adequate exposure to achieve full IP68 protection. Use torque guidelines for the jam nut to maintain sealing integrity and repeatable mating cycles.
Yes. The UTS7GN128PW delivers IP68/IP69K protection, making it highly resistant to water ingress and dust in washdown and outdoor settings. Its polyamide insert and plastic shell are engineered for longevity under UV exposure and temperature cycling, supporting equipment used in agriculture, food processing, and outdoor automation.
The connector carries IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 compliance, among others referenced in the datasheet. These certifications matter because they validate electrical safety, intermateability, and suitability for global markets. For regulated environments, meeting these standards simplifies supplier qualification, reduces risk of non-compliance, and supports industry-specific approvals.
With a mating cycle life of approximately 250, the UTS7GN128PW is designed for durable field reuse and routine maintenance. The robust IP68 sealing, UV resistance, and salt spray tolerance contribute to lower replacement frequency. For optimal lifecycle performance, inspect the backshell integrity during maintenance, ensure seals remain intact, and replace if mating performance or sealing appears degraded.
