Eaton JDXFA2T12MSN Sealed Breakaway Connector - Push-Pull
Part Number: JDXFA2T12MSN
Quick Summary
The Eaton Souriau JDX series sealed breakaway connector is designed to provide robust panel-mounted connections for rugged industrial lighting and emergency systems. Engineers often struggle with maintaining a reliable seal and safe, quick-disconnect capability in harsh environments. Although the data sheet lists a -40 to 125 °C operating range and a brass shell with a non-reflective black chrome finish, the design supports common standards such as CE-like safety considerations, IP-rated sealing variants, and SIL-capable configurations in real-world deployments. In practice, this alignment simplifies procurement, speeds installation, and reduces risk across control panels while enabling efficient maintenance. The JDX family is well-suited for panel-mount plug solutions and 12-position layouts in demanding industrial environments.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The sealed front-panel plug provides ingress protection and long-term reliability, reducing maintenance intervals and downtime in harsh settings; the 12-contact layout supports multi-circuit signaling and power paths, enabling compact panel design for lighting and emergency systems. The push-pull breakaway coupling delivers quick, secure disconnections, cutting service time during field maintenance. Solder Cup contacts promote robust, vibration-resistant joints essential for industrial automation panels. Brass shell with non-reflective black chrome plating offers corrosion resistance and low glare on instrument panels, improving operator visibility. With operating temperatures from -40 °C to 125 °C, the connector accommodates extreme environments without swapping parts. The option specifies no backshell, streamlining assembly while demanding careful cable routing and shielding planning. This combination supports cost reduction through fewer SKUs and faster onboarding for maintenance teams.
