Eaton UTL0103G1P03 Power Receptacle - IP68 UL/IEC

High current rating and robust contact design drive reliable power delivery in demanding equipment. The UTL0103G1P03 provides 16 A currents under UL and IEC standards with a 600 V UL / 500 V IEC voltage rating, supporting motor starters and control circuits without overstressing the connector. This simplifies wiring, reduces panel density, and lowers installation time in automation projects such as assembly lines and packaging equipment. Sealing and environmental resilience directly impact uptime. An IP68 rating combined with environmental resistance against gasoline, oil, mineral oil, and various baths means fewer seals replacements and less maintenance after washdowns. UV stability ensures long-term performance in outdoor or factory-floor installations, while salt spray resistance adds confidence for rugged outdoor enclosures. Mechanical interface and installation efficiency matter in tight spaces. The 3G1 layout with push-pull coupling delivers fast mating and a secure, vibration-resistant connection, while the square flange receptacle format provides a rigid mounting footprint. These features minimize misalignment risks during field assembly and simplify cabling in crowded control cabinets. Durability and lifecycle planning reduce total cost of ownership. With 1000 mating cycles and a polyamide insert housed in a plastic shell, the connector tolerates repeated connections in intermittent maintenance environments. The crystallized engineering supports consistent contact integrity across temperature extremes from -40 °C to 105 °C. Compatibility and compliance streamline procurement. The unit is designed as a receptacle with crimp contacts, matching a ground-cavity-equipped layout for First Mate Last Break operation, and supports standard UL/IEC compliance. Its 4-cavity configuration aligns with common industrial connectors, ensuring straightforward integration into existing harnesses and control panels. Quality data and serviceability bolster confidence. The product meets RoHS and REACH environmental standards, with UL 1977 and IEC 61984 certifications, and a documented salt spray life. For OEMs, this translates to predictable supplier performance, easier risk assessment, and a faster path from design to installation.
