A 3 x 1.5mm² multicore cable carrying 10A of continuous current needs to be connected to a weatherproof enclosure.
The enclosure contains some expensive electronics, so it is important to ensure that it remains sealed even when the cable is not connected.
Step 1
Use the layout guide page 12.Check if your layout can run at 10A
12E3 (for solder contacts)or 12D3 (for PCB)
Step 3
Step 2
continuous using the dedicated
de-rating curve (see pages 14 to
20).
Step 4
Choose your plug and receptacle.
In our example we chose a plug
with solder contacts.
Your selection should be:
UTS6JC - E - S
Using the UTS layout guide you can select the insert
arrangement code according to your needs. Replace -- by your
choice 12E3 for solder contacts.
Result:
Here your plug with solder contacts is UTS6JC12E3S
For any assembly questions please refer to the “assembly
instruction” section (pages 54 to 57).
For discrimination see p.79.

UTS Series
UTS range overview
The UTS series is a plastic connector
range but rugged enough to withstand
industrial applications.
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”
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. We recently added the RJ45 version (Cat5e)
to meet the increasing demand of networking.
Screw termination
version
The philosophy of the UTS series is built around three key elements:
Dynamic IP68/69K
UV Resistant
UL/IEC Compliant
Overview
RJ45 version
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 tted or if the
equipment is likely to get wet when cables
have been disconnected.
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 qualication process
involved subjecting connectors to a
simulated 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.
7
The outmost priority for any electrical
installation is to protect personnel from any
shock hazard.
In North America, Underwriters Laboratories insisted that connector manufacturers,
depending of the application, respect
their standards. The UTS series had thus
been qualied and is certied 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.

Cable assembly
Souriau provides connectors in various applications for more than 90 years in the most extreme environment.
Being conscious about the difculty to nd a quick and a reliable harness manufacturer, we decided years ago to start in house cable
assembly production. It allows customers to reduce the number of suppliers, and to take advantage of the "best in class" quality of the
Souriau group. Overmoulding is a process that further enhances the sealing properties of the UTS range, especially over many years
of use. Overmoulding provides the opportunity to change the cable exit from straight through 90 degrees and avoid any stress on the cable
terminated to the connector. Also, as the wires are encapsulated inside the moulding, a barrier is created which prevents from any liquid from entering
the equipment through the connector if the cable jacket is breached.
In this section you’ll nd standard cable sets but as all customers are unique we are happy to adapt our proposal to your specic needs on demand.

Cable information
Range of temperature: Occasional exing: -5°C up to +70°C
The UTS series offers the unique possibility to use the same contact in any layout as long as it receives the same active part size. Thus it is
possible to buy only one contact reference and equip all connectors even if housings are different.
The main benefit is the standardisation which means reduction of inventory cost.
Bearing in mind that any additional tool or complicated assembly process should be avoided, our contacts are based on a snap-in principle
which avoid the use of an insertion tool.
Crimp contacts are available in different versions:
In addition, UTS series can obviously be equipped with solder contacts, PCB contacts, screw termination and RJ45.

Contact plating selector guide
As soon as you know what contact size you need, you next have to decide on which type to use.
Souriau proposes mainly two different types of electrical contacts:
- Machined
- Stamped & formed
Machined contacts are generally chosen for low quantities purpose as well as a better solution for power
applications.
Stamped & formed contacts offer the ability to be crimped automatically which makes them more suitable for
high volume production applications.
Then comes the question: What plating should I choose ?

Conscious of the wide variety of applications, contact packaging has been considered for small series (bulk packaging) and high volume
production (reeled contacts):
First Mate Last Break contacts should
be chosen only if the cavity is not
marked with the earth symbol. For
cavities marked with the earth symbol,
standard contacts will fulll the same
role as a rst mate, last break contact
used in a standard cavity.

Coaxial contacts
Coaxial contact range
We provide 2 types of coaxial contacts suitable for 50 or 75Ω, coaxial cable or twisted pair cable.
Monocrimp coaxial contact
• The monocrimp one-piece coaxial contacts offer high reliability plus
the economic advantage of a 95% reduction in installation time over
conventional assembly methods.
• This economy is achieved by simultaneously crimping both the inner
conductor and outer braid or drain wire.
Multipiece crimp coaxial contact
• The inner conductor and outer braid is crimped individually.
• The thermoplastic insulating bushing in the outer body is designed
to accept and permanently retain the inner contact.
• An outer ferrule is used to connect the braid to the outer contact
and provide cable support to ensure against bending and vibration.
Suitable for Coaxial cable or Twisted cable
• For jacket diameter from 1.78 to 3.05mm
Inner conductor up to 2.44mm diameter

How to remove a contact out of its cavity?
First of all, if the connector is tted with a backshell, unscrew it and slide it up the cable.
Slide the extraction tip over contact from mating side and push it all the way into the
connector cavity until it stops, indicating that the locking spring from the contact is
depressed.
Push on handle to activate the sprung loaded inner plunger to extract the contact from
the rear of the connector.

Rated current & working voltage
Current carrying capacity
The current carrying capacity of a connector is limited by the thermal properties of materials used in it's construction. The amount of current
that can be handled depends on the size of cable used, the ambient temperature and the heat that is generated inside the connector. Part 3
of the IEC 60512 standard determines through a derating curve, the maximum current permissible, which varies from one layout to another
(Fig.1 & Fig.2). Wire size plays an important role as well, since they help to dissipate heat and avoid overheating (Fig.1 & Fig.3).
Please note that the curve should be adjusted when dealing with potential hot spots, which can occur as a result of unequal loading of current
across a number of contacts. As a general rule, it is best to avoid locating power handling contacts in the middle of the connector; try to locate
them towards the edge where heat can be dissipated more effectively. Eventually you should nd a level which represents the permissible
operating range:

UV resistance
Solar radiation affects all materials, but plastics can be
susceptible to extreme degradation over time. The
choice of materials for the UTS series was therefore a
critical consideration.
All over the world we are not exposed to the same
amount of energy given by the sun. The chart shown
here clearly illustrates this.
So we performed test according to the ISO 4892-2 and
simulated 5 years exposure to outdoor environments
(temperature, humidity, etc...)
After this period there was no signicant colour variation,
no crazing, no cracking and no major variation of
mechanical properties.
- 30°
- 60°
- 90°
One of the key factors which affects the performance of
a connector, is the way contacts are terminated. Crimped
connections are nowadays seen as the best solution to ensure
quality throughout the lifetime of the product. Here are some
reasons why we recommend this method of termination for UTS
connectors:

Crimping
To ensure that the crimp tooling is performing according to
original specications, it is important to carry out regular checks.
A common way to check the performance of tooling is with a
simple pull test, ideally using a dedicated electric pull tester.
Minimum recommended full forces are indicated in the tables
below:
- Efcient processing of connections at each production level
- Processing by fully-automatic or semi- automatic crimping
machines, or with hand operated tools
- No cold-soldered joints
- No degradation of the spring characteristic of female contacts
by the soldering temperature
- No health risk from heavy metal and ux steam
- Preservation of conductor exibility behind the crimped
connection
- No burnt, discolored and overheated wire insulation
- Good connections with reproducible electrical and mechanical
performances
- Easy production control

There are two main standards for industrial connectors: UL94 & UL1977
UL94
This standard is dedicated to plastics ammability. It characterises how the material burns in various orientation and thicknesses.
The UTS series has been rated at V-0 & HB.
Procedure: A specimen is supported in a vertical or horizontal position and a ame is applied to the bottom of the specimen. The ame is
applied for ten seconds and then removed until aming stops, at which time the ame is reapplied for another ten seconds and then removed.
Two sets of ve specimens are tested. The two sets are conditioned under different conditions.
V-0 :
• Specimens must not burn with aming combustion for more
than 10 seconds after either test ame application.
• Total aming combustion time must not exceed 50 seconds
for each set of 5 specimens.
• Specimens must not burn with aming or glowing combustion
up to the specimen holding clamp.
• Specimens must not drip aming particles that ignite the
cotton.
• No specimen can have glowing combustion remain for longer
than 30 seconds after removal of the test ame.

• Applicability of spacing requirements
An alternative way to determine voltage rating is with the Dielectric-Withstand test. If during one minute there is no arc-over or breakdown
the rated voltage is given as given below:
a) 500 volts for a type 1B deviceb) 1000 volts plus twice rated voltage for types 1A, 2, 3 and 4 devices.
Marking:
A device shall be legibly marked with the manufacturer's trade name, trade mark, or other descriptive marking by which the organisation
responsible for the product may be identied. (Exception: If the device is too small, or where the legibility would be difcult to attain, the
manufacturer’s name, trademark, or other descriptive marking may appear on the smallest unit container or carton)
The following shall be marked on the device or on the smallest unit container or carton or on a stuffer sheet in the smallest unit container

IEC 61984
The norm is dedicated to connectors with rated voltage above 50V and up to 1000V and rated currents up to 125A per contact. But
depending of your application connectors should be compliant with another standard. This has to be double checked with the customer.
There are lot of constructional requirements and performances specied 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 II systems. Even if the purpose of our connector is not to interrupt current, we often
see a need to add a protective earth contact. Then 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 against electric shock
by double or reinforced insulation.
IP Code:
IP is a coding system dened 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.
1st digitDegree of protection2nd digitDegree of protection
0No protection against accidental contact.
No protection against solid foreign bodies.
1Protection against contacts with any large area by hand and

Protection against solid foreign bodies with a diameter bigger
than 12 mm.
3Protection against tools, wires or similar objects with a diame-
ter bigger than 2.5 mm.
Protection against small solid bodies with a diameter bigger
than 2.5 mm.

6Total protection against contacts. Protection against

Even in dynamic situations.
Protection against diagonal water drips up to a 60° angle.
Protection against splashed water from all directions.
5Hose-proof.
Protection against water (out of a nozzle) from all directions.
6Protection against temporary ooding.
7Protection against temporary immersions.
8Protection against water pressure.
Pressure to be specied by supplier.
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.
9KHigh pressure hose-proof.

Overvoltage
UTS connectors are qualied to be used on systems rated at Overvoltage category III
Per the IEC 60664-1 (formely VDE 0110) each category is linked to the end application and where the device will be implemented:
• Category IV (primary overcurrent protection equipment):
Origin of the installation
• Category III (Any xed installation with a permanent connection)
Fixed installation and equipment and for cases where the reliability and the availability is subject to special requirements
• Category II (Domestic applicances):
Energy consuming equipment to be supplied from the xed installation
• Category I (Protected electronic circuit):
For connection to circuit in which measures are taken to limit transient overvoltage.
Pollution degree
Per the IEC 60664-1 (formerly VDE 0110) the environment affects the performance of the insulation. Particles can build a bridge between
two metal parts. As a rule dust mixed with water can be conductive and more generally speaking metal dust is conductive. Finally, the
standard denes 4 levels of pollution:
• Degree 1 (Air conditioned dry room):No pollution or only dry, non conductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no inuence.
• Degree 2 (Personal computer in a residential area):
Only non conductive pollution occurs except that occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be
expected.
• Degree 3 (Machine tools):
Conductive pollution occurs or dry non-conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to condensation which is to
be expected.
• Degree 4 (Equipments on roof, locomotives):Continuous conductivity occurs due to conductive dust, rain or other wet conditions.
Finally, the harsher the environment is, the longer clearance and creepage distances should be. Nonetheless, according the IEC 61984,
enclosure rated at IP54 or higher can be dimensioned for a lower pollution degree. This applies to mated connectors disengaged for test
and maintenance.
Marking
The marking should give enough details to the user to know what the main characteristics are and without going deep in technical
documentation. Below examples identify the suitability of the connector:
• Example 1:
Marking of a connector with rated current 16A, rated voltage 400V, rated impulse voltage 6kV and pollution degree 3, 2 and 1 for
use in any system, preferably unearthed or delta-earthed systems:
16A 400V 6kV 3
16A 400V 6kV 3
• Example 2:
Marking of a connector with rated current 16A, rated insulation voltages line-to-earth 250V, line-to-line 400V, rated impulse
voltage 4kV and pollution degree 3, 2 and 1 for use in earthed systems:
16A 250V 400V 4kV 3
16A 250V 400V 4kV 3

What is NEMA rating ?
• NEMA ratings vs IP ratings
Whereas IP ratings only consider protection against ingress of foreign bodies - first digit - and ingress of water
(second digit), NEMA ratings consider these but also verify protection from external ice, corrosive materials, oil
immersion, etc.
The correlation between NEMA & IP being limited only to dust and water, we can state that a NEMA type is equivalent to an IP rating but it is not possible to say the contrary.
Below a list of some NEMA standards:
• indicates compliance
Type 6 rating can be either Type 6 or Type 6P - please see below:
6 IP67 Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection
to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment, falling dirt, hose directed water, the entry of water during occasional temporary submersion at a limited depth
and damage from external ice formation.
6P IP67 Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to
personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed equipment, falling dirt, hose-directed
water, the entry of water during prolonged submersion at a limited depth and damage from
external ice formation.

Glossary of terms
• Clearance
Per the IEC 60664-1 it is the shortest
distance between two conductive parts
even over the air.
• Creepage distance
Per the IEC 60664-1 it represents the
shortest distance along the surface
of the insulating material between two
conductive parts.
• Working voltage
Per the IEC 60664-1 it is the highest r.m.s. value of A.C. or D.C.
voltage across any particular insulation which can occur when the
equipment is supplied at rated voltage.
• Rated impulse voltage
Impulse withstands voltage value assigned by the manufacturer
to the equipment or to a part of it characterizing the specied
withstand capability of its insulation against transient overvoltage.
• Working current
It is the maximum continuous and not interrupted current able
to be carried by all contacts without exceeding the maximum
temperature of the insulating material.
Air gap
Creepage distance
• CTI (Comparative Tracking Index)
The CTI value is commonly used to characterize the electrical
breakdown properties of an insulating material. It allows users
to know the tendency to create creepage paths. This value
represents the maximum voltage after 50 drops of ammonium
chloride solution without any breakdown.
• RTI (Relative temperature Index):
Extract from ULs website:
“Maximum service temperature for a material, where a class of
critical property will not be unacceptably compromised through
chemical thermal degradation, over the reasonable life of an
electrical product, relative to a reference material having a
conrmed, acceptable corresponding performance dened RTI.
- RTI Mech Imp: Mechanical Impact RTI, associated with
critical impact resistance, resilience and exibility
properties.
- RTI Mech Str: Mechanical Strength (Mechanical
without Impact) RTI, associated with critical
mechanical strength where impact resistance,
resilience and exibility are not essential”
• Transient voltage
Extract from the IEC 60664-1: Short duration overvoltage of a
few millisecond or less, oscillatory or non-oscillatory, usually
highly damped.
