Eaton UTS61823SZ Plug - IP68/69K Waterproof

The IP68/69K waterproof shell and 23-position plug deliver an excellent seal against moisture and contaminants, reducing ingress and corrosion risks. The business impact is fewer unplanned outages and lower maintenance costs, especially on outdoor or mobile equipment. It suits heavy machinery and rugged automation lines where reliability in hostile environments is non‑negotiable. The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick, tool-light mating and reliable retention, shortening installation times and minimizing field errors. This is essential for assembly lines and service vans where technicians need fast, secure connections without backshells, while maintaining harness simplicity with a 23‑contact configuration. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and UV‑resistant materials support global deployments, lowering temperature‑related failure risk and extending service life in sun‑exposed or industrial heat zones. Current rating of 9 A IEC and 10 A UL, with test voltage up to 63 V IEC and 500 V UL/CSA, ensures compatibility with standard control circuits and safety standards, reducing component proliferation and compliance concerns. The 23‑position, crimp‑contact design delivers high-density connectivity with up to 250 mating cycles, boosting overall equipment uptime and long‑term reliability for high‑duty applications such as robotics, packaging lines, and automated machinery. Material construction—polyamide insert, plastic shell, and a compact 18‑shell size—supports durable field use with low weight. Optional features such as First Mate Last Break or Last Mate First Break add maintenance flexibility, while fire/smoke ratings (UL94 V0), REACH, and RoHS compliance further minimize regulatory risk and lifecycle costs.
