Technical Information
The norm is dedicated to connectors with rated voltage above 50V and up to 1000V and rated currents up to 125A per contact.
Depending on your application connectors should be compliant with another standard. This has to be double checked with the customer.
There are a lot of constructional requirements and performances specied in that standard. Most of them are illustrated in greater details hereafter.
Provisionsforearthing:
The UTS connector is intended to be used on Class I or Class III (see IEC 61140) systems. Even if the purpose of our connector is not to interrupt
current, there is a need to add a protective earth contact. This one shall be a “First mate, last break” style. Critically, among all of the normal
assumptions we make in designing a connector, this contact has to be considered as a live part and must be protected attached to the ground
wire.
IPCode:
IP is a coding system dened by the IEC 60529 to indicate the
degrees of protection provided by an enclosure. The aim of this is to
give information regarding the accessibility of live parts against ingress
of water and other foreign bodies.

UTS offers high sealing
performance IP68 / 69K…
Even in dynamic situations.
In addition to the IEC 60529 we conjointly use the DIN 40050 part 9
which are dedicated to road vehicles. The main differences are:
•Firstdigit:5 replaced by 5K, 6 by 6K. In the DIN the tested
equipment is not depressurized as it is in the IEC.
•Seconddigit: 5K and 6K has been added and are equivalent
respectively to 5 and 6 but with higher pressure.
9K which represents the High pressure cleaning.
