Eaton UTG6187PNVDE34 Connector for IP65 Bayonet

IP65 protection, achieved by a robust metal-and-plastic shell, provides dependable ingress protection in dusty and washdown-prone environments. This design minimizes water and particle ingress, reducing field failures and maintenance costs in automated lines. The combination of durable plastics and metal housing also helps resist vibration and impact on heavy machinery, extending connector life in challenging installations. Its compact 40.8 mm width helps fit panels where space is at a premium, while maintaining rugged performance required by industrial automation and packaging lines. With a 7-contact layout, including two cavities for size #12 and five for size #16, users can carry power and signal in a single connector, simplifying harness design and inventory. This reduces wiring errors, decreases install times, and improves overall system reliability in control cabinets and robotic arms. The nickel-plated contacts maintain high conductivity and corrosion resistance, supporting long-term performance in harsh environments without compromising signal integrity. The polyamide insert provides insulation stability across the operating temperature range, contributing to consistent performance in dynamic lines. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling enables fast mating and unmating without tools, speeding repair and line changeovers. The Last Mate First Break and First Mate Last Break features simplify service workflows and limit exposure to live contacts during maintenance. In practice, this means shorter downtime during scheduled maintenance and easier field servicing in high-mix production environments where line uptime is critical. Operating temperature from -40 to 105 °C supports operation across coastal, automotive, and outdoor facilities, while a 500 mating cycle rating ensures predictable lifecycle costs for automation equipment and robots. Salt spray testing for 48 hours demonstrates durability against corrosion, an important consideration for sandy, humid, or chemically aggressive environments. All materials and finishes align with RoHS and REACH requirements, supporting compliant procurement for global manufacturing programs.
