Eaton UTS6FC12E8SZ Plastic Waterproof IP68/69k Connector - IP68/69K Rating

IP68/69K sealing and eight-contact capacity define the core strengths of the UTS6FC12E8SZ. The plastic housing keeps weight down without sacrificing mechanical integrity in washdown and oily environments. Gold-plated solder cups ensure low contact resistance and dependable signal transfer across the eight cavities. For panel builders, this compact 61 mm length and square 29.7 mm footprint enable dense wiring and cleaner assemblies. 1/3 bayonet coupling speeds mating and reduces installation time while maintaining excellent vibration resistance. This translates into fewer field retries and more consistent performance in conveyors, robotics, and outdoor equipment. The straight backshell and Z-key orientation simplify orientation during connector pairing, making it easier for technicians to achieve correct alignment even in tight spaces. Backshell for Flexible Conduit improves cable routing and provides strain relief at the entry point, helping prevent pull-out or wear. Increased reliability in harsh environments reduces maintenance costs and downtime for machines handling coolant, oil, or washdowns. The UTS6FC12E8SZ supports 250 mating cycles, demonstrating durability for long-term deployments in automation infrastructure and OEM equipment. Operating temperature range of -40 to 105 C and multiple current ratings ensure the connector fits standard industrial loads while meeting global standards. Salt spray resistance for 500 hours and UV resistance address outdoor exposure and chemical environments. Compatibility and regulatory compliance are reinforced by UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and RoHS exemptions, making it a reliable, scalable solution for machine builders and integrators seeking predictable outcomes.
