UTS6JC1823S Circular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UTS6JC1823S 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 female socket applications. The connector maintains IP68/IP69K ingress protection and operates across -40°C to 105°C. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance, substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UTS6JC1823S with equivalent parts is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Allowable Variations:

• Ingress Protection: IP67/IP69K or higher ratings are acceptable
• Operating Temperature Range: Extended ranges are acceptable
• Insert Material: Thermoplastic specification is acceptable
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers within the same product category

The substitute part RTS6BS18N23S03 meets all mandatory matching parameters and represents a direct functional equivalent from Amphenol Sine Systems Corp within the ecomate® Aquarius™ series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UTS6JC1823S Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton supply chain is preferred
• Active product status with established inventory (895 Pcs available)
• Operating temperature requirement up to 105°C
• IP68/IP69K ingress protection specification required

RTS6BS18N23S03 Selection Criteria:

• Alternative when Amphenol Sine Systems Corp supply chain is preferred
• Higher inventory availability (1,318 Pcs available)
• Extended operating temperature capability (-40°C to 125°C) for applications requiring higher thermal margin
• IP67/IP69K ingress protection meets or exceeds most environmental specifications
• Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification

Both parts are active products with full regulatory compliance. Selection between them is based on supply availability, manufacturer preference, and specific thermal operating requirements rather than functional capability differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RTS6BS18N23S03 directly replace UTS6JC1823S in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions (shell size 18-23), position count (23), contact specifications (crimp, size 16), fastening mechanism (bayonet lock), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for mating with corresponding female socket connectors.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection between IP68 and IP67?

A: Both ratings provide dust-tight and waterproof protection. IP68 specifies continuous immersion at depths greater than 1 meter; IP67 specifies immersion up to 1 meter. The RTS6BS18N23S03 maintains IP69K rating, which covers high-pressure water jet resistance. Selection depends on specific environmental exposure requirements.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges interchangeable?

A: The UTS6JC1823S operates -40°C to 105°C; the RTS6BS18N23S03 operates -40°C to 125°C. The RTS6BS18N23S03 provides extended thermal capability. If the application requires operation above 105°C, only RTS6BS18N23S03 is suitable. For applications within -40°C to 105°C, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the UTS6JC1823S and RTS6BS18N23S03 are plug housings supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: Are there any differences in material composition?

A: Both housings use thermoplastic shell material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The RTS6BS18N23S03 specifies thermoplastic insert material; the UTS6JC1823S insert material is not specified in available documentation. Both meet identical regulatory requirements (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

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

A: Bayonet lock provides quick-connect/quick-disconnect capability through rotational engagement. Both connectors use identical bayonet lock mechanisms, ensuring compatibility with mating female connectors designed for this fastening type.

Q: Can these connectors be used in shielded applications?

A: No. Both the UTS6JC1823S and RTS6BS18N23S03 are unshielded connectors. Applications requiring electromagnetic shielding require different connector designs with shielded housings and grounding provisions.
