Feature IP68/69K waterproof rating is paired with unmated protection to minimize ingress in dirty or wet environments, delivering a clear business impact of reduced field failures and longer service life. This feeds into automation applications such as conveyor drives and robotic cells where uptime is critical and maintenance windows are tight. Application of 8-pin, gold-plated solder contacts ensures robust signal and power delivery with low contact resistance, translating into smoother control loops, fewer relays, and enhanced reliability in harsh environments. The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick, vibration-resistant mating, improving installation efficiency on crowded panels and in confined spaces. The backshell is designed for Flexible Conduit, enabling faster field wiring and a cleaner, safer installation while meeting industry standards. With a weight of 24.1 g and a compact 61 mm length, this plug supports space-constrained layouts without sacrificing performance. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 105 °C and 250 mating cycles offer resilience in extreme conditions and long-term maintenance planning, while insert neoprene seals resist oil, UV exposure, and chemical baths, extending service life in demanding environments. Compliance with UL, CSA, and IEC standards reduces procurement risk and accelerates approval cycles for panel builders and integrators. The overall Souriau UTS design also supports compatibility within Eaton’s broader connectivity ecosystem, enabling streamlined spares management and consistent performance across devices in automation architectures.

FAQs
For optimal results, use the backshell designed for Flexible Conduit and ensure a straight mating alignment to avoid cross-threading on the 1/3 Bayonet coupling. Follow Eaton’s recommended torque and sealing procedures, keep the mating faces clean, and choose compatible conduit adapters to maintain IP68/69K integrity. Pre-assembly with the mating plug helps reduce on-site time and ensure a leak-free connection in vibration-prone panels.
The UTS6FC12E8PW is rated for 4.5 A UL and 6 A IEC, with a test current of 4.5 A CSA and a voltage rating of up to 250 V (CSA/UL) or 32 V (IEC). It features 8 pins with gold-plated solder contacts for low contact resistance and reliable power and signal transfer. The mating cycles are rated at 250, supporting long-term use in automation applications.
Yes. The connector is designed for IP68 (and IP69K in unmated conditions) protection, ensuring dust-tight sealing and water ingress resistance even in high-pressure washdowns. Its oil, mineral oil, and gasoline resistance, plus UV stability, make it well-suited for harsh production lines, outdoor equipment, and machinery exposed to fluids and sunlight.
The UTS6FC12E8PW complies with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984, and UL 1977, with ROHS exemption 6.c. This combination supports regulatory compliance, supplier qualification, and environmental responsibility, simplifying procurement and validation for regulated industries and global deployments.
It reduces downtime through robust ingress protection and reliable mating in vibration-prone environments, lowers maintenance costs with long service life, and simplifies installation with a conduit-ready backshell and quick 1/3 bayonet coupling. Compatibility with Souriau UTS series also streamlines spare parts management and supports scalable, modular automation architectures.
