Eaton JMXFH1D08MSUDSO Push-Pull Connector - IP68

IP68 sealed push-pull connectors like the JMXFH1D08MSUDSO deliver rapid, tool-free mating while guarding against dust, water, and washdown spray in harsh automation environments. The sealing gland backshell and plastic shell reduce ingress paths, helping prevent costly field failures and unscheduled downtime. In practice, this design translates to longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs for OEMs and end users. Eight gold-plated solder-cup contacts support robust sensor and actuator connections, with a 5 A current rating that covers common automation devices without over‑engineering the harness. This combination improves electrical reliability and reduces wiring complexity across panels and junction boxes. The design also supports straightforward diagnostic testing, as gold plating enhances contact integrity under vibration and contamination conditions. At 57 mm in depth, 19 mm height, and 19 mm width, the compact form factor simplifies panel layouts and enables denser harness routing. With 2000 mating cycles and a wide operating range of −40 °C to 125 °C, it withstands repetitive connections and extreme temperatures typical in manufacturing and packaging lines. Field technicians appreciate the predictable mating effort and clear tactile feedback during connection. Compatibility is anchored in the JMX family, featuring a straight plug with a sealing gland backshell for straightforward enclosure integrations. Delivered with the connector, it ensures you have the finishing hardware needed for immediate installation and IP68 integrity without sourcing additional components. The keying and color-coding (orange) help prevent incorrect mating during high-stress maintenance windows. From a regulatory perspective, the part carries RoHS and REACH compliance and a UL94 V0 flammability rating, aligning with common industry standards. This supports compliance-driven procurement and smoother validation during audits and customer inspections. The packaging and documentation also emphasize traceability, which reduces risk in regulated industries. Industry experience shows that choosing the JMX series reduces maintenance cycles and extends mean time between failures in motor drives, robotics, and automation panels. The combination of robust sealing, compact footprint, and reliable electrical performance translates into lower lifecycle costs and faster time-to-market for equipment builders. End users benefit from improved uptime and predictable performance across demanding industrial environments.
