SOURIAU UTG Industrial Circular Connectors
SOURIAU UTG Industrial Circular Connectors Introduction
SOURIAU UTG Series connectors are economical, lightweight industrial circular connectors designed for machinery, automation, transportation, instrumentation and other applications requiring reliable cable connections.
The UTG Series combines an engineering-plastic housing with a metal bayonet coupling ring. Its 1/3-turn locking system provides quick connection and an audible click to confirm that the plug and receptacle are correctly mated. Compared with an all-metal connector, this metal-and-plastic construction reduces weight while retaining a durable coupling interface.
UTG connectors are part of the Eaton SOURIAU TRIM TRIO platform. They use interchangeable contacts and selected configurations can mate with UTS and UTO connectors, making it easier to upgrade an existing system without changing the panel cutout or wiring process. Eaton specifies up to 500 mating cycles, IP65 protection and a typical operating range of −40°C to +105°C for the series.

UTG Connector Styles
Square Flange Receptacle
Square flange receptacles mount to an equipment enclosure or control panel. They are normally identified by the body code UTG0.
Typical models include:
UTG01619SH
UTG02235P
UTG02448S
The panel cutout, flange dimensions and sealing arrangement must be checked before replacing an existing receptacle.
In-Line Receptacle
In-line receptacles are used for cable-to-cable connections. They are identified by the body code UTG1 and do not require panel mounting.
Typical models include:
UTG1104PH
UTG11619PH
UTG11619SH
An in-line receptacle can be paired with a UTG6 cable plug to create a removable harness connection.
Cable Plug
Cable plugs are identified by the body code UTG6. They use the metal bayonet coupling ring to mate with a flange or in-line receptacle.
Typical models include:
UTG6103PN
UTG62020PN
UTG62448SN
Cable plugs may require a separate cable clamp, strain-relief backshell or protective boot.

| UTG02448S | Square flange receptacle | 48 socket | Configuration-dependent | High-density shell size 24 version |
Application Industries
Industrial Automation
UTG connectors can connect sensors, actuators, motors, control panels and distributed I/O modules. The bayonet coupling supports faster maintenance than threaded industrial connectors.
Machinery and Production Equipment
The combination of a metal coupling ring and lightweight plastic body is suitable for packaging machines, material-handling equipment, CNC systems and production machinery.
Railway and Transportation
UTG connectors can be used for onboard control systems, lighting, doors, sensors and auxiliary equipment. Confirm the required fire, smoke and environmental specifications for the final installation.
Energy and Power Equipment
Low-contact-count and mixed layouts can carry control and power circuits in energy storage, renewable energy, charging and power distribution equipment.
Telecommunications
Medium- and high-density layouts support outdoor cabinets, communication equipment and infrastructure where IP65 protection is sufficient.
Test and Measurement Equipment
In-line and flange-mounted UTG connectors are suitable for modular test systems, laboratory instruments and removable measurement harnesses.
Lighting and Entertainment Equipment
Quick bayonet mating and multi-contact layouts support commercial lighting, stage equipment and control systems requiring frequent installation and removal.
UTG vs UTS vs UTO Connectors
| Feature | UTG | UTS | UTO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Housing | Metal and plastic | Full plastic | Metal |
| Coupling | 1/3-turn bayonet | 1/3-turn bayonet | 1/3-turn bayonet |
| Typical protection | Up to IP65 | IP68/IP69K | IP68/IP69K |
| EMI shielding | Limited or configuration-dependent | No standard metal-shell shielding | Available |
| Mating cycles | Up to 500 | Typically 250 | Intended for intensive use |
| Main advantage | Economical, lightweight and durable | Waterproof and corrosion-resistant plastic | Waterproof metal construction and shielding |
| Typical use | General industrial equipment | Outdoor and wet environments | Harsh, shielded and intensive-use systems |
Selected UTG, UTS and UTO connectors can be intermateable when the shell size, insert layout, contact gender and orientation match. Environmental performance remains determined by the complete mated pair, so replacing only one half does not automatically upgrade the system to a higher IP rating.
