Eaton UTS6FC128S UTS Plastic Waterproof Connector - IP68/69K

IP68/69K protection and a polyamide plastic shell minimize water, dust, and chemical ingress, boosting uptime and reducing maintenance costs in outdoor and washdown areas. This high ingress resistance translates to longer service intervals and lower repair frequency, particularly in automotive, packaging, and process automation environments. The 8-position socket with crimp contacts supports up to 10 A per IEC/UL ratings, enabling compact interconnects without sacrificing performance, while the 1/3 bayonet coupling allows tool-free, rapid mating—shrinking installation labor and improving field reliability. A backshell designed for flexible conduit simplifies routing and strain relief, facilitating clean harness integration and safer cable management in tight installations. Compliance features, including UL 1977 and IEC 61984, provide regulatory assurance for machinery and control panel applications, supporting audits and quality programs. Mating cycles of 250 ensure durable, cost-effective interconnects in repeated assembly and disassembly scenarios common in maintenance-heavy environments. UV resistance and broad environmental tolerance help maintain performance in sunlit outdoor sites, while salt spray resistance adds confidence for coastal or industrial facilities. Overall, the UTS6FC128S delivers robust, industry-ready connectivity that reduces downtime, speeds deployment, and aligns with standard automation architectures.
