UTLrange overview
The philosophy of the UTL Series is built around three key elements:
Dynamic IP68/69K UV Resistant UL/IEC Compliant
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 qualifi cation process
involved subjecting connectors to a
simulated fi ve years of exposure to various
elements including Temperature, UV and
Humidity.
The UTL Series uses an outdoor rated
material. Underwriters Laboratories classifi es
it "F1" per UL746C.
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 UTL Series had
thus been qualifi
ed, certifi ed by this
organisation and compliant with the UL
1598, UL1977, UL498, UL60320.
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 UTL Series was
obviously designed to respect these rules
and especially the IEC 60598, IEC60065,
IEC60320, IEC61076-2-103.
The UTL 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.
If this same level of performance is required
even when connectors then we have special
sealed contacts. This unique fetaure helps
you to product your electronics from ingress
of water. This is particulary insteresting when
using with NEMA enclosure or outdoor
luminaires.
UTL Series
Overview
The stainless steel latch coupling system makes it simple to use.
With only 1 fi nger, connectors are mated with an audible and
sensitive “click”.
The key shape of the coupling system makes it blind mateable.
In dark conditions the color and mechanical discriminations
helps you to do it and avoid you to damage connectors.
The UTL Series is a plastic
connector range designed
to respect modern safety
standards.
