Eaton UTS61823P Plug - IP68/IP69K Waterproof

IP68/69K sealed housing ensures ingress protection in the field, reducing contamination and downtime. Business impact: longer mean time between failures and lower service costs in dusty, wet, or wash-down environments. Application: outdoor equipment, heavy machinery, and mobile installations where exposure to water, dust, or cleaning fluids is routine. 23-position plastic connector with 1/3 bayonet coupling offers a compact, vibration-resistant interface. Impact: quick mating/remating without tools, less field damage, and easier panel integration. Application: control cabinets, trailing cables, and vehicle-mounted systems requiring reliable 23-way signal and power distribution.Current rating and test voltages specify safe operation: 10 A UL, 9 A IEC; 63 V IEC / 500 V UL/CSA; ensures compliance for typical control circuits and interconnects. Impact: supports robust performance in demanding applications while preserving safety margins. Application: machine tools, conveyors, automation gear with mixed voltage needs.Insert is polyamide with a plastic shell for lightweight, durable construction. Operating temperature range -40 to 105 °C supports harsh environments. UV resistance and environmental resilience toward oils, fuels, and minerals help extend life in challenging settings. Impact: predictable performance across diverse sites and reduced maintenance cycles. Application: mobile equipment, offshore, and industrial plants.Mating cycles of 250 provide long service life in frequent connect/disconnect scenarios; optional first mate last break functionality adds installation flexibility. This model ships as a plug without backshell, simplifying inventory and reducing upfront costs. Impact: faster field upgrades and lower total cost of ownership. Application: retrofit projects and panel replacements where fast, reliable connectivity is critical.Dimensions and compatibility: straight plug with shell size 18, 37 mm depth, 41.3 mm height and width, and 23 contacts weighing 26 g. 1/3 Bayonet coupling ensures secure retention in rugged environments. Impact: compact footprint supports dense panel layouts and straightforward installation in tight spaces. Application: compact control panels and equipment with space constraints.
