Designed for high speed Ethernet connections in severe operating environments, Souriau's new UTO range connector can be assembled in less than a minute. It lets you use a standard RJ45 cordset and does not require any specific tooling. It is especially designed for field installations in applications such as robotics, machines, automation systems, rail systems and industrial telecommunications as well as on-board applications.
The UTO RJ45 connector stands out first of all through its ease of assembly. Simply take any new or used cordset, break off the standard snap clip by hand and insert it into the socket. The clip based mounting system developed by Souriau will then mount and securely maintain the cable. Thanks to this system and unlike competing models, the UTO RJ45 comprises of only three main parts that are easily handled by the assembly operator
The second advantage of the UTO RJ45 connector is its mechanical and environmental resistance as a UTO connector is perfectly resistant to impact and vibration and offers excellent temperature performance: temperature range from –40°C to 85°C. In addition, the UTO connector offers IP67 sealing and is salt mist resistant (for 96 hours in the black anodized ring version) and UV resistant. Mechanically it is rated for an excellent 500 mating cycles
The UTO RJ45 connector is equipped with the particularly easy to use "TRIM TRIO" locking mechanism: this is a one-third of a turn bayonet locking mechanism with a click lock motion that you can feel and hear, guaranteeing a proper connection. It is available in a square flange receptacle version (with four screws) or a centre Jam nut receptacle version. It supports Ethernet 10 BaseT, 100 BaseTX, 1000 BaseT, Cat5e networks to TIA/EIA 568B standards and class D to ISO/IEC 11801.
The UTO range was specially designed to offer the best mechanical and environmental properties and is compliant with the European RoHS environmental directive.
The UTO socket is a part of the TRIM TRIO family. This is a family of products that is unique in its market place. The range is a very extensive one, designed around the same modular base. The connector cavities are common to all TRIM TRIO connectors and so are the contacts. As a result, users retain full freedom to design their connector from a very extensive range of contacts: signal, power and high speed (coax cable or optical fibre). Thanks to its modularity, its extensive product range and its extreme resistance to severe operating environments, the TRIM TRIO family positions itself as the benchmark in circular industrial connectors.
