SOURIAU’s five-pin UTL range is not only very simple to use, it is also perfectly suited to applications that require field wiring. Engineered in compliance with IEC 60320, IEC 69184 and UL 1977, the five-pin is a must for new industrial facilities and field facilities. The range has been available from Esterline Connection Technologies, SOURIAU distributors since April 2016.
The five-pin UTL connector significantly improves tasks for operators working on aerial work platforms or in
tight spaces. The rear coupling snaps onto the body of the connector whilst accommodating cable clamps
and cable glands. The resulting assembly forms a rigid structure that protects cables from strain and
vibrations and guarantees both the quality and reliability of power and signal connections. “A screwdriver is
all that fitters need to connect wires to the five contacts,” said product manager Ludovic Paris.
Metal tabs provided in the connector ensure an audible click that is both sensitive and instantaneous. The
connector is unlocked simply by pulling on the plug and pressing the latch at the same time. The contacts
are fitted with a captive screw to retain wires in the crimp barrel. A version of the five-pin UTL features crimp contacts for more conventional industrial applications, such as ESD cord preparation. The contacts withstand
currents of up to 16 A and accommodate flexible wires with cross-sectional areas of 1.5 to 2.5 mm².
The push-pull lock and thermoplastic construction of the plugs and receptacles ensure safe use. The
receptacle of the five-pin UTL connector is available for front mounting onto 3.2 mm panels (maximum thickness) with a nut. The mating surface between the receptacle and panel is sealed by a silicone O-ring that comes supplied with the connector. When connected, the plug and receptacle ensure IP68 and IP69K ingress
protection and are resistant to high-pressure water jets. The five-pin UTL connector is designed to withstand
over 1,000 connections and disconnections and is usable over a temperature range of –40° to 105°C.
Complementary with other UTL connectors, this range is perfectly suited to industrial applications as well as
mobile equipment.
