Eaton UTS6FC1412SW Plastic Waterproof Connector - IP68/69k

IP68/69K protection and environmental durability provide reliable sealing against water, dust, and high-pressure cleaning, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in outdoor or washdown environments. This translates to longer equipment life and lower replacement frequency, especially in food processing, water treatment, or outdoor automation applications. The 12-position, crimp-contact layout enables compact yet high-density wiring, delivering a clear path to more efficient control panels and scalable machine builds while maintaining regulatory compliance. A polyamide insert with a plastic shell offers robust chemical resistance and UV stability, supporting long service life in harsh environments and reducing total cost of ownership. Compatibility with flexible conduit backshells simplifies installation, improves strain relief, and speeds assembly in field service scenarios. With a 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight plug orientation, technicians experience fast, repeatable mating, minimizing commissioning time and human error during panel integration. The connector is rated for 10 A at 63 V (IEC/UL) and holds up to 250 mating cycles, assuring reliability for demanding automation tasks. Fire & Smoke ratings (UL94 V0) and RoHS/REACH compliance provide peace of mind for regulated industries and global supply chains. The combination of durable materials, proven mating performance, and documented environmental resistance positions this Eaton UTS connector as a trusted choice for control panels, robotics, and mobile equipment that require robust waterproof connectivity. Industry-specific context includes process automation, packaging, and material handling where splash zones, vibration, and long service life are common design considerations. In practice, engineers can specify this single solution to replace multiple generic connectors, reducing BOM complexity and procurement lead times while still meeting strict industry standards. The result is a dependable link between sensors, actuators, and controllers that keeps critical lines energized and operating.
