Eaton UTS6FC12E3P IP68/69K Plastic Waterproof Connector
Part Number: UTS6FC12E3P
Quick Summary
Eaton UTS6FC12E3P is a plastic waterproof IP68/69K connector designed for rugged power and signal wiring in harsh industrial environments. Engineers grapple with sealing, vibration, and maintenance in outdoor or wash-down settings; this connector helps prevent ingress and reduces field service. It carries IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 approvals, with ROHS exemption 6.c, supporting compliant deployments across global facilities. The 3-contact arrangement uses gold-plated solder cups in a straight plug paired with a conduit-ready backshell, delivering reliable, vibration-tolerant connections. By combining rugged sealing with straightforward installation, it enables safer, faster maintenance and lower lifecycle costs for automation projects and industrial wiring harnesses.

IP68/69K sealing combined with a neoprene insert provides long-term protection against water, dust, and chemical exposure, reducing outages and warranty claims in outdoor equipment. This translates to higher uptime and lower maintenance costs in conveyor lines, pumps, and outdoor automation. Gold-plated solder cup contacts offer superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, delivering consistent performance under vibration and thermal cycling across demanding industrial environments. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables rapid mating and demating, cutting installation time on production lines and service calls while preserving mating integrity. A backshell designed for flexible conduit and a straight orientation simplifies field routing and termination, improving installation accuracy and reducing spare-part waste. With a 16 A IEC / 13 A UL rating and operating range of -40 °C to 105 °C, it supports durable operation in extreme conditions, while 250 mating cycles indicate long service life. Compliance with IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 and ROHS exemptions reinforces regulatory confidence for regulated industries.
