Souriau Connectors Audio & Video, Unreviewed UTS714E5S

Female jam nut receptacle with contacts

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. 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 fitted 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 qualification process involved subjecting connectors to a simulated five 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 Laboratories insisted that connector manufacturers, depending of the application, respect their standards. The UTS series had thus been qualified and is certified 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.
