Eaton UT0S18JC Connector - IP68/69k Protection
Part Number: UT0S18JC
Quick Summary
The Eaton UT0S18JC is a shielded metal IP68/69k connector designed for heavy-duty industrial use in demanding environments. Engineers often struggle with unreliable seals and messy cable strain, leading to downtime and maintenance costs. It meets RoHS and REACH environmental standards, carries UL94 V0 flammability rating, and delivers IP68/69k sealing for wet and dusty environments. The rugged backshell and sealing gland streamline installation and help ensure long-term reliability in automation and machinery applications. By supporting shielded connectivity and robust strain relief, this connector minimizes signal loss and reduces maintenance in control cabinets and field installations. For procurement teams, the UT0S18JC offers a standard 18 shell size with a consistent 10 to 14.5 mm cable range, simplifying BOMs and stocking.

IP68/69k protection and a shielded metal housing deliver reliable ingress protection and EMI shielding, reducing field failures and warranty costs. This rugged design keeps critical signals clean in outdoor equipment, wet production lines, and harsh factory floors where dust and water are common. Shielding enhances EMC integrity, which translates to fewer communication glitches in motor drives and robotics applications. The UT0S18JC is well-suited for CNC controls and automation panels that demand stable data transmission in electrically noisy environments. Backshell angle and sealing gland construction support durable, field-friendly installations. A straight-backshell variant simplifies panel mounting and harness routing, while the sealing gland provides environmental sealing that minimizes ingress without complicating service. Cable diameter range of 10 to 14.5 mm accommodates a wide variety of sensor and power cables, reducing the need for custom adaptors. The long metal gland and strain-relief nut help maintain cable integrity during movement and vibration in industrial machinery. Compliance and safety are addressed with RoHS and REACH conformance and UL94 V0 flame rating, supporting regulatory adherence across automotive, machinery, and industrial automation sectors. This combination lowers risk, speeds qualification tests, and streamlines procurement by matching standard shell size and cable-compatible options. Finally, installation efficiency is improved by a standard shell size (18) and clear spec sheet, enabling faster harnessing and inventory management. In practice, engineering teams report shorter assembly times and fewer field-origin issues when integrating UT0S18JC into legacy or new control systems.

FAQs
UT0S18JC uses the standard 18 shell from Eaton Souriau’s UTO family, compatible with existing UT harnesses and panel cutouts. When installing, select cables in the 10 to 14.5 mm diameter range, secure the strain-relief nut to preserve the sealing gland, and mount with the straight backshell for simple alignment. Shielding and IP68/69k sealing maintain performance in wet or dusty environments.
Key specs include shell size 18, cable diameter range 10–14.5 mm, straight backshell, and shielded construction. Shielding reduces EMI/EMC interference in automation equipment, while IP68/69k rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress in harsh environments. UL94 V0, RoHS, and REACH also support regulatory compliance.
Yes. The UT0S18JC is designed for outdoor and rugged industrial settings, featuring IP68/69k ingress protection and a metal shielded housing that resists moisture, dust, and mechanical wear. Its 18 shell size and 10–14.5 mm cable range support a broad array of sensors, power leads, and fieldbus connections in harsh environments.
UT0S18JC carries RoHS and REACH compliance, is UL94 V0 flammability rated, and provides IP68/69k sealing. These certifications support safe operation in regulated industries such as automotive, machinery, and industrial automation, simplifying qualification tests and supplier approvals.
The connector’s shielded construction, robust strain relief, and sealing gland reduce maintenance needs by protecting signals from EMI and preventing ingress. The standard 18 shell size and 10–14.5 mm cable range simplify BOMs, streamline stocking, and shorten installation time, delivering lower cost of ownership and faster time-to-production for automation projects.
