Eaton UTS6FC12E10PZ Plug - IP68/IP69K
Part Number: UTS6FC12E10PZ
Quick Summary
The Eaton UTS6FC12E10PZ Plug is a plastic waterproof IP68/69K connector designed for harsh industrial environments. In rugged equipment, water ingress and corrosion drive downtime and maintenance costs, so reliable sealing matters from the first install. This plug is certified to UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, supporting regulatory compliance across global panels. With a 10-pin, gold-plated solder-cup layout, a straight plug and a backshell designed for flexible conduit, it enables fast, secure wiring and easy field replacement. IP68/69K protection, a wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to 105 °C), and 250 mating cycles reduce life-cycle costs in control panels, outdoor machinery, and process equipment.

Environmental resilience and sealing: The IP68/69K-rated housing, UV resistance, and compatibility with various fluids provide a robust seal that minimizes ingress and contamination, resulting in higher uptime and reduced maintenance. This translates to lower service costs and fewer unplanned outages in harsh environments like outdoor equipment or wash-down areas. Electrical performance and safety: With a current rating of 10 A (UL) and 16 A (IEC), plus a 500 V UL and 300 V IEC test voltage, the connector supports common control circuits and small actuators while maintaining safe operation margins, enabling compact panel designs without compromising protection. Quick-connect mating with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and a straight plug orientation simplifies installation and reduces downtime on high-mix production lines, improving overall line efficiency. Material and contact quality: The gold-plated solder cups and Neoprene insert ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance, supporting up to 250 mating cycles for long service life in demanding industrial settings. The plastic shell and backshell for flexible conduit streamline cable routing and protect against mechanical stress, promoting cleaner assemblies and easier maintenance. Reliability and compliance: The combination of UL, IEC, and CSA certifications, RoHS compliance, and rugged operating range (-40 °C to 105 °C) delivers a dependable solution that simplifies procurement, accelerates installations, and reduces lifecycle risk for panel builders and machine integrators.
