Eaton UTS68E2SX Plastic Waterproof Connector IP68/69k

Feature IP68/IP69K sealing is the foundation of this connector's reliability. The UTS68E2SX uses a plastic shell with a neoprene insert and a 2-contact layout to resist dust, mineral oil, and UV exposure, while maintaining performance under vibration per IEC 60512-4. The result is fewer ingress-related failures, lower maintenance costs, and longer service intervals for equipment in wash-down environments, packaging lines, or outdoor automation stations. Gold-plated solder cup contacts provide reliable current transfer in a compact form factor. With a 7 A rating and voltage options of 32 V IEC and 250 V UL/CSA, this connector supports sensing, actuation, and small-power motor circuits without requiring larger, more expensive components. This also simplifies spare-part inventories and reduces electrical design constraints in control panels and robotics. 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers fast, vibration-resistant mating, aiding installation in production lines and mobile machinery. The straight plug orientation simplifies cabling during assembly and service, while the 2-position layout supports efficient use of panel space. The design also reduces risk of mis-mating and ensures consistent electrical performance in harsh environments. Environmental resilience is reinforced by ratings that tolerate -40 °C to 105 °C, 250 mating cycles, oil, gasoline, and UV exposure. The insert remains functional after prolonged natural exposure, and the connector's plastic shell keeps costs down compared with metal variants. Certified to IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA standards, it aligns with common industrial procurement specs and helps maintain regulatory compliance across projects. From field service to production design, the UTS68E2SX provides a robust, scalable connectivity solution for automation and equipment OEMs. Its compact footprint, copper conductor compatibility, and rohs-compliant features support streamlined sourcing, reduced assembly time, and improved uptime in demanding applications. This translates to measurable ROI through reduced downtime, faster replacements, and lower training burdens for maintenance teams.
