SOURIAU
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SOURIAU from 3G Electric.
What are the key features of Souriau Trim Trio UTSX connectors?
Souriau Trim Trio UTSX connectors are harsh-environment circular connectors designed for demanding applications. They feature a 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick mating, sealing ratings up to IP69K for high-pressure washdown and IP68 for dust and water immersion. Current ratings range from 4 A to 16 A, with voltage ratings up to 500 V. Contacts are machined from copper alloy with gold plating, and wire sizes from 30 AWG to 14 AWG are supported. Available shell styles include jam nut receptacles, square flange receptacles, in-line receptacles, and plugs, with or without cable glands. Contacts may be included or supplied separately depending on the part number.
What is the difference between Souriau UTSX and UTGX series connectors?
The Souriau UTSX and UTGX series are both part of the Trim Trio family of circular connectors, but they differ in sealing and construction details. UTSX connectors typically offer higher sealing ratings, such as IP68 and IP69K, making them suitable for harsh environments with washdown or immersion. UTGX connectors generally provide IP65 or IP67 sealing for less extreme conditions. Both series use bayonet coupling and are available in various shell styles and contact arrangements. For specific differences in materials, current ratings, and voltage ratings, consult the respective datasheets. 3G Electric can provide part number cross-references and specifications for both series.
Are Souriau Trim Trio contacts compatible across different series?
Souriau Trim Trio contacts are designed for use within specific series and may not be universally compatible. For example, the #16 machined contacts (SKU 820U98 and 820U75) are compatible with UTP and SMS series connectors, respectively. The UTSX series uses its own contact arrangements, which may include solder or crimp contacts. Always verify compatibility by checking the connector series and contact part number. 3G Electric's product listings specify the compatible series for each contact. Mixing contacts from different series is not recommended unless explicitly stated in the manufacturer's documentation.
What wire sizes and current ratings are available in Souriau UTSX connectors?
Souriau UTSX connectors support wire sizes from 30 AWG to 14 AWG, depending on the contact size and connector configuration. Current ratings range from 4 A to 16 A per contact. For example, the 19-contact jam nut receptacle (SKU 820TR3) is rated 4 A and 250 V, while the 12-contact jam nut receptacle (SKU 820TP5) is rated 16 A and 500 V. Voltage ratings vary up to 500 V. The specific wire size and current rating for a given part number are listed in the specifications. Ensure the selected connector meets the electrical and mechanical requirements of your application.
