Souriau connector is ingress protection rated

A Souriau product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 12, 2009

Souriau has added a sealed plastic open face connector for printed circuit boards to its UTS range.

The connector provides IP68 and IP69K ingress protection ratings, even when it is unmated.

The UTS Hi seal PCB version is intended particularly for electronics applications subjected to wide temperature variations, including those generating condensation, and to submerged environments, including instrumentation in humid environments, outdoor light fixtures, road signs, off-road vehicles and wastewater treatment stations.

The UTS Hi seal PCB version has a high level of watertightness, whether locked or unlocked.

First, when it is not locked, the receptacle is watertight, with IP68 and IP69K rating.

This means that if a cap is forgotten there is no risk of infiltration, so the electronics are protected.

There is also the guarantee of watertightness when the connector is locked.

This technical performance is obtained by retention of the contacts in an elastomer.

Second, in the locked position, the UTS Hi seal PCB version has the performance of the UTS range and also provides IP68- or IP69K-rated sealing.

This means that its characteristics are maintained under immersion at a depth of 10m and during high-pressure cleaning at 140 bar.

This sealing is dynamic, which means that it is maintained even when the cable is moving.

The plastic withstands UV, shocks and vibration and has a temperature resistance of -40 to 105C.

The UTS Hi seal PCB version connectors are resistant to salt spray (more than 500 hours), increasing their reliability in outdoor use.

Designed to be soldered on a board, the UTS Hi seal PCB version connector has a washing standoff as standard to facilitate rinsing of effluents after wave soldering.

Clips for retention on the board are available.

The connector is available in 18 configurations from 2 to 19 pins and transmits any type of signal and power up to 1000V and 13A.

It is qualified according to the UL 1977 (Underwriters Laboratories) standard for 250 mating cycles.
