UTS range overview
The UTS series is a plastic connector
range but rugged enough to withstand
industrial applications.
The philosophy of the UTS series is built around three key elements:
Dynamic IP68/69K UV Resistant UL/IEC Compliant
In most applications, our connectors are
exposed to extreme climatic conditions;
it was therefore key for us to select the
materials best able to cope with the
targeted environment.
Part of our product qualifi cation process
involved subjecting connectors to a
simulated fi ve years of exposure to various
elements including Temperature, UV and
Humidity.
The results were positive in that there
were no visible signs of weakness, such as
cracking or crazing.
The outmost priority for any electrical
installation is to protect personnel from any
shock hazard.
In North America, Underwriters Laborato-
ries insisted that connector manufacturers,
depending of the application, respect
their standards. The UTS series had thus
been qualifi ed and is certifi ed by this
organisation.
In Europe and in Asia, IEC standards are
better known and trusted by end users. Like
its American equivalent, the IEC refers to
safety rules. The UTS series was obviously
designed to respect these rules.
UTS series is rated at IP68/69K… even
in dynamic conditions. This means
that it remain sealed even when used
continuously underwater or cleaned using
a high pressure hose and cable is moving.
This extreme level of performance is
achievable with jacketed cable or discrete
wires.
If this same level of performance is
required even when connectors are not
mated, we have UTS Hi Seal; a product
designed to remain watertight if an
environmental cap is not fi tted or if the
equipment is likely to get wet when cables
have been disconnected.
Screw termination version
UTS series is a wide range...
Based on multiple power & signal connectors and offers
everything from box mounted receptacles and cable mounted
plugs to cable mounted in-line and PCB mounted receptacles.
Almost all ways to accommodate wires exist: Crimp, Solder,
Screw termination.
UTS Series
Overview
The bayonet coupling system makes it simple to use.
With only a 1/3 twist of the coupling ring, connectors are mated
with an audible and sensitive “click”.
