UTS6JC8E3S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UTS6JC8E3S is a 3-position circular connector plug with female sockets manufactured by Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton. This component belongs to the Trim Trio® UTS Hi Seal series and features solder cup termination with bayonet lock fastening. The part is Active in product status with 1161 pieces in current inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across connector families. Substitution becomes necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization. The UTS6JC8E3S maintains compatibility with qualified substitute parts that share identical shell size, position count, fastening mechanism, and environmental ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UTS6JC8E3S is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 3
• Shell Size - Insert: 8-3
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP67 or higher
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Connector Orientation: Normal (N)
• Shielding: Unshielded

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Current Rating: 7A minimum
• Voltage Rating: 250V minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -40°C to 105°C

The identified substitute part RTS6BS8N3S from Amphenol Sine Systems Corp satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. This part is classified as a plug housing for female sockets within the ecomate® Aquarius™ series. Both parts maintain identical shell geometry, position count, fastening mechanism, and environmental sealing specifications. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UTS6JC8E3S Selection Criteria: The UTS6JC8E3S is the primary specification when solder cup termination is required. This part features integrated female sockets with gold-plated mating contacts and solder cup termination points. The component is Active in product status with established supply availability. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating satisfy regulatory requirements for industrial applications. The IP68/IP69K ingress protection rating provides maximum dust and water resistance.

RTS6BS8N3S Selection Criteria: The RTS6BS8N3S is a plug housing assembly without integrated contacts. This part is specified when crimp contact termination is preferred over solder cup termination. The substitute part is Active in product status with 1183 pieces in current inventory. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 rating maintain regulatory alignment. The IP67/IP69K ingress protection rating satisfies environmental sealing requirements. Operating temperature range extends to 125°C, providing additional thermal margin compared to the main part.

Substitution Applicability: Selection between these parts depends on termination method requirements. The UTS6JC8E3S accommodates solder-based assembly processes. The RTS6BS8N3S accommodates crimp-based assembly processes and requires separate contact procurement. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, fastening mechanisms, and environmental sealing specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RTS6BS8N3S directly replace UTS6JC8E3S in existing assemblies?

A: Direct mechanical replacement is possible due to identical shell size (8-3), position count (3), fastening type (bayonet lock), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line). However, termination method differs. The UTS6JC8E3S uses solder cup termination, while the RTS6BS8N3S uses crimp contact termination. Assembly process modification is required.

Q: What are the key differences between these connector types?

A: The UTS6JC8E3S is a complete plug assembly with integrated female sockets and solder cup termination points. The RTS6BS8N3S is a plug housing that requires separate crimp contacts (not included). Both parts share identical shell geometry and environmental ratings.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both UTS6JC8E3S and RTS6BS8N3S are ROHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection ratings?

A: The UTS6JC8E3S provides IP68/IP69K protection. The RTS6BS8N3S provides IP67/IP69K protection. Both ratings satisfy dust-tight and waterproof requirements. IP68 indicates complete dust ingress prevention and continuous submersion capability. IP67 indicates dust ingress prevention and temporary submersion capability.

Q: Can contacts from one part be used with the other?

A: No. The UTS6JC8E3S features integrated female sockets with solder cup termination. The RTS6BS8N3S is a housing assembly requiring separate crimp contacts. These components use different contact systems and are not interchangeable.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference?

A: The UTS6JC8E3S operates from -40°C to 105°C. The RTS6BS8N3S operates from -40°C to 125°C. The substitute part provides 20°C additional upper temperature margin.

Q: Are both parts currently in stock?

A: Yes. The UTS6JC8E3S has 1161 pieces in inventory. The RTS6BS8N3S has 1183 pieces in inventory. Both parts are Active in product status.

Q: What termination method should be selected?

A: Solder cup termination (UTS6JC8E3S) is selected for wave soldering or manual solder assembly processes. Crimp contact termination (RTS6BS8N3S) is selected for automated crimp assembly processes. Selection depends on manufacturing capability and assembly requirements.
