Eaton UTS614E5SZ Waterproof Connector - IP68/69k

IP68/69K sealing and rugged plastics make the UTS614E5SZ ideal for outdoor and wash-down environments. Its neoprene insert and oil-resistant shell protect the interface from water, dust, and chemical exposure, delivering dependable connections where reliability is critical. In the toughest agricultural, mining, and process-automation applications, the robust sealing translates to fewer field repairs and longer service intervals, improving uptime and equipment effectiveness. Designers appreciate that this plug avoids common ingress failures that derail production lines, especially when cabling solutions must endure frequent cleaning and exposure to harsh contaminants. With five gold-plated solder cups, the connector guarantees low contact resistance and stable performance through repeated mating cycles. The 5-position layout supports compact multi-conductor harnesses, enabling streamlined harness fabrication and space-saving panel designs. A gold finish helps resist tarnish in humid environments, while the solder-cup contacts are well suited for automated wire termination, reducing assembly time and human error. 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides fast mating and secure retention, while the Z orientation simplifies panel and cable routing in tight spaces. The straight plug and plastic shell keep weight down without sacrificing durability, making installation faster and easier during machine builds or field retrofits. The plug's compatibility with standard UTS-series receptacles supports scalable configurations across product families. Operating temperature spans -40 °C to 105 °C, supporting operation across extreme environments, from chilly outdoor rigs to high-temperature machinery. Compliance with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 offers broad regulatory alignment, while RoHS exemption 6.c reduces sourcing constraints. The unit resists UV radiation and various oils, extending service life, and its 34 mm width and 23.6 mm depth enable compact, cost-efficient installations in crowded control panels. From a maintenance perspective, the UTS614E5SZ’s mating cycles of up to 250 ensure a predictable lifecycle, and the gold-plated contacts minimize wear with each connection. Since connector accessories are not included by default, engineers can select backshells or mounting hardware as needed, keeping procurement flexible. In practice, this means faster assembly, easier field upgrades, and lower total cost of ownership for industrial automation projects.
