UTS6JC1823P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UTS6JC1823P is a 23-position circular connector plug housing manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton, part of the Trim Trio® UTS series. This free-hanging (in-line) connector features a bayonet lock fastening mechanism, backshell, and coupling nut, designed for crimp contact applications. The connector is rated for IP68/IP69K ingress protection and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, substitute parts may be required for supply chain optimization, inventory management, or regional availability considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UTS6JC1823P with the RTS6BS18N23P03 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both connectors share identical specifications for the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 23 positions
• Shell Size - Insert: 18-23
• Contact Type: Crimp
• Contact Size: 16
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Shell Material: Thermoplastic
• Housing Color: Black
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Features: Backshell, Coupling Nut
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Connector Type: Plug Housing for Male Pins
• Orientation: Normal (N)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

These parameters define the functional and physical compatibility required for direct substitution in 23-position circular connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UTS6JC1823P and RTS6BS18N23P03 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. The primary distinction between these connectors is the ingress protection rating and maximum operating temperature.

The UTS6JC1823P provides IP68/IP69K protection with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The RTS6BS18N23P03 provides IP67/IP69K protection with an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements for ingress protection level and thermal operating conditions. Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications for the 23-position configuration, contact size, fastening mechanism, and material compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RTS6BS18N23P03 directly replace the UTS6JC1823P in existing applications?

A: Direct substitution is supported for applications where the IP67/IP69K ingress protection rating and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range of the RTS6BS18N23P03 meet or exceed the application requirements. Both connectors share identical specifications for position count, shell size, contact type, contact size, mounting configuration, fastening mechanism, and material compliance.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between these two connectors?

A: The UTS6JC1823P is rated IP68/IP69K, while the RTS6BS18N23P03 is rated IP67/IP69K. IP68 provides complete dust protection and water resistance under continuous immersion, whereas IP67 provides complete dust protection and water resistance under temporary immersion. Both ratings include IP69K protection against high-pressure water jets.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when substituting these parts?

A: The UTS6JC1823P operates from -40°C to 105°C, while the RTS6BS18N23P03 operates from -40°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the UTS6JC1823P. Applications within the -40°C to 105°C range can use either connector.

Q: Do these connectors require specific contact types or sizes?

A: Both connectors use crimp contact type with contact size 16. Contacts are not included with either connector housing and must be sourced separately. Ensure contact specifications match the connector shell size and position requirements.

Q: Are both connectors compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Both the UTS6JC1823P and RTS6BS18N23P03 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the significance of the bayonet lock fastening type?

A: The bayonet lock fastening mechanism provides secure mating between plug and receptacle connectors through a quarter-turn rotational coupling. This fastening type is standard for both connectors and ensures consistent connection reliability across applications.
