Eaton UT0S22JCS Metal IP68/69k Connector - Sealing Gland
Part Number: UT0S22JCS
Quick Summary
UT0S22JCS by Eaton is a rugged metal IP68/69k connector for intensive use in harsh industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with water ingress, cable strain, and difficult maintenance in outdoor or wet applications. The unit offers IP68/69k sealing, UL94 V0 flammability, and REACH/ RoHS compliance to support safety and reliability. Shielded metal design with a straight backshell and sealing gland simplifies installation while protecting against EMI and ingress. This translates to lower field downtime, easier servicing, and better long-term total cost of ownership for machinery builders. Its compatibility with typical industrial cables and glands helps OEMs streamline sourcing and reduce spare-parts complexity.

IP68/69k sealing combined with a shielded metal housing delivers rugged protection where water, dust, and contaminants threaten system reliability. The durable enclosure minimizes ingress and EMI, translating to fewer field failures and longer service intervals for machines in washdown zones or exposed outdoor environments. Practically, this means maintenance windows can be scheduled less frequently and uptime improves across conveyors, automated lines, and outdoor control cabinets. Shielded construction boosts signal integrity by suppressing EMI and guarding against interference from motors, drives, and wireless networks. The result is more predictable automation performance, fewer fault flags, and simplified troubleshooting. In practical terms for robotics and machine tending, shielded connectors translate into faster cycle times and reduced rework when cable runs traverse noisy factory floors or magnetic environments. Straight backshell paired with a sealing gland enhances installation efficiency and seal integrity. The mating geometry reduces misalignment risk during panel-to-cable assembly, while the gland provides effective moisture sealing and strain relief. For field technicians, this means fewer recalibration steps and a quicker, more repeatable fit in control panels, machines, and cabinet enclosures. Shell size 22 and a cable diameter range of 13.5 to 18 mm enable direct compatibility with common industrial cables and gland assemblies. This reduces the need for reducers or adapters and streamlines spare-parts inventories. In installation practice, the specified range supports straightforward strain relief and a secure, long-lasting connection even in high-flex or vibration-prone applications. Environmental and compliance profile with UL94 V0, REACH, and RoHS, plus durable IP68/69k performance, supports regulated industries and traceability. Using a metal, shielded connector reduces risk of regulatory delays and non-compliance during audits. For OEMs and integrators, this translates into simpler qualification packages, consistent supplier documentation, and peace of mind that the product remains compliant through changeovers. Strain-relief nut and compact gland design support high-flex harnesses and quick service. The shielded gland assembly provides reliable routing and repeatable seals under vibration, minimizing servicing time and extending harness life in demanding industrial installations.

FAQs
UT0S22JCS uses a straight backshell and a sealing gland designed for efficient panel-to-cable installations. To install, prepare the cable with ends stripped to expose shielding as required, route the shield to the backshell, and thread the cable through the gland. Tighten the strain-relief nut to secure the cable and achieve the seal, ensuring the diameter stays within 13.5 to 18 mm.
Key specs include a shielded connection, shell size 22, and a straight backshell with a sealing gland. The connector is IP68/69k rated for immersion, and it carries UL94 V0 flammability, plus REACH and RoHS compliance. It supports cables in the 13.5 to 18 millimeter diameter range and is designed for intensive-use applications in automation and machinery.
Yes. The IP68/69k sealing provides protection against water and dust in outdoor environments, washdown zones, and potentially submerged configurations where reliable sealing is required. The metal housing also helps resist mechanical wear and EMI. For long-term underwater service, verify mating compatibility and ensure appropriate sealing during installation to maintain performance under vibration and movement.
UT0S22JCS carries UL94 V0 flammability rating and REACH RoHS compliance, with IP68/69k sealing for challenging environments. These certifications support regulatory compliance in automotive, food processing, and heavy industry settings, helping meet safety, environmental, and product-safety standards. This reduces qualification time and streamlines supplier documentation during audits and changeovers. This helps meet supplier qualification requirements and reduces rework.
UT0S22JCS uses shell size 22 and supports cable diameters from 13.5 to 18 mm. This range enables direct compatibility with common industrial cables and glands, reducing the need for adapters or oversized gland parts. When installing, ensure the gland nut is tightened to maintain the sealing performance, and verify that the cable under the gland hasn’t exceeded the max diameter for reliable strain relief.
