Eaton UT0W0106SH6 Receptacle - IP68/69K Connector
Part Number: UT0W0106SH6
Quick Summary
The Eaton UT0W0106SH6 Receptacle is a rugged metal IP68/69K connector designed for intensive use in harsh industrial environments. Engineers frequently face challenges sealing out dust and moisture while maintaining reliable performance through hundreds of mating cycles. This Souriau UTO series receptacle provides strong sealing, salt-spray resistance, and a durable nickel-plated zinc shell to withstand vibration and exposure. With UL 1977, RoHS and REACH compliance, it meets key safety and environmental requirements that matter in regulated industries. The 6-position square-flange layout and 1/3 bayonet coupling enable faster field assembly and easier maintenance, reducing downtime and lifecycle costs. Shielded contacts add EMI protection, while compact dimensions support dense panel installations and flexible system design.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Metal housing with a zinc alloy shell and nickel plating provides superior EMI shielding and corrosion resistance, reducing enclosure leakage and maintenance costs. This construction also withstands repeated mating cycles, supporting long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments. Application: ideal for rugged automation panels, robotics, and heavy-duty conveyors where space is tight and seals matter. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1/3 bayonet coupling and a 6-position square flange receptacle enable quick, secure mating and faster field assembly. Business impact: reduced installation time and lower labor costs on production floors. Application: control panels and machine frames requiring rapid, reliable connections in tight spaces. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68 sealing with 96-hour salt spray resistance plus resistance to oil, basic bath, and acid bath extend service life in dirty environments. Business impact: longer intervals between maintenance and lower spare-part consumption. Application: outdoor equipment, agricultural machinery, and washdown areas. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electrical ratings of 7 A IEC (test current 7 A UL, 4 A CSA) and 250 V across 6 contacts ensure compatibility with low-power controls and sensor networks. Business impact: predictable performance and safer integration with automation modules. Application: sensors, actuators, and small-power drives inside automated lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 500 mating cycles, operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C, nickel-plated shell and polyamide insert. Business impact: high lifecycle reliability in extreme temperatures and frequent maintenance cycles. Application: metalworking, packaging, and heavy industry equipment where durable, repeatable connections are critical.
