IP68/IP69K sealing and jam-nut receptacle with grommet backshell provide superior moisture, dust, and ingress protection, reducing field failure risk and maintenance cycles in outdoor equipment and mobile machinery. This translates to higher uptime and lower service costs for critical automation lines and remote sensors. The 12-pin, male crimp contacts enable a compact yet powerful power and signal path, supporting reliable operation in harsh environments and simplifying harness design for automotive and industrial applications. The polyamide insert and plastic shell deliver wind-resistant UV stability and chemical resistance, extending service life in oil, fuels, and mineral-based environments while meeting RoHS and REACH requirements. With a 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight backshell, installation is quick and repeatable, reducing downtime during panel wiring and field repairs. Total mating cycles reach 250, a practical balance of reliability and cost for high-rotation use cases. The design’s compatibility with standard Souriau UTS components means easier spares management and streamlined maintenance planning for large projects or multi-site deployments.
