Eaton UTG12028S Receptacle - IP65 Heavy-Duty Connector
Part Number: UTG12028S
Quick Summary
Eaton UTG12028S is a rugged receptacle connector for heavy-duty electrical assemblies in industrial environments. Many projects suffer downtime and mis-mating costs when connectors lack rugged construction or reliable mating cues. Highlights include RoHS and REACH compliance and UL94 V0 flammability, plus IP65 sealing to withstand washdowns and outdoor exposure. The 28-position inline receptacle in the UTG Souriau series delivers robust crimp contacts, a 1/3 bayonet coupling, and up to 500 mating cycles. By offering Last mate first break optional features and compatible shell materials, it delivers faster field assembly, easier maintenance, and longer service life for automation and heavy machinery applications. This combination supports safer installations, lower total cost of ownership, and consistent performance in demanding environments.
