Eaton UTS6GN1492S Plastic Connector - IP68/69K

IP68/IP69K sealing and a polyamide insert deliver robust protection against water, dust, and chemical exposure, dramatically extending field life in harsh environments. The business impact is fewer unplanned downtime events and lower maintenance costs for outdoor machinery, conveyors, or mobile equipment operating in wet or dusty conditions. This design also benefits service teams by reducing the need for frequent resealing after field repairs, while maintaining reliable connections in aggressive environments. 12-contact plug with a 1/3 bayonet coupling ensures secure mating even in high-vibration applications. The result is lower contact wear, stable signal and power transfer, and fewer reworks caused by misalignment. This is especially valuable for rugged automation systems, mobile machines, and remote installations where quick, tool-free assembly accelerates wiring harness upgrades. Electrical and mechanical specs support common automation loads: 10 A current rating (IEC/UL), 600 V test voltage, and 7 A test current, with 250 mating cycles for long service life. The 32 mm depth, 34.4 mm height, and 34.6 mm width ensure a compact footprint suitable for tight panels and harness routing. These specs help prevent overdesign while preserving reliability. Material and environmental resilience are built-in: polyamide insert and plastic shell provide UV resistance with no degradation after years of outdoor exposure, and the assembly resists mineral oil, gasoline, and various chemicals. The connector is RoHS and REACH compliant, and Salt spray tests (500 hours) illustrate its readiness for harsh industrial and marine environments. Installation and compatibility are simplified by delivery with the connector, a single-wire backshell, and straight orientation for easy panel mounting. The 14-shell size and straight plug type support straightforward harness integration, while compatibility with Souriau UTS series accessories ensures scalable solutions across multiple projects. Industry context: the UTS6GN1492S is a widely used choice in automation, robotics, and outdoor machinery, enabling standardization across platforms. By pairing with tested UTS series harnesses, users realize faster deployments, lower spare-part inventories, and predictable performance in high-stress conditions.
