Eaton Souriau UTS6GN1492SW Plastic Waterproof IP68/69K Connector

The IP68/IP69K sealing of the UTS6GN1492SW provides exceptional ingress protection, reducing field service calls and maintenance costs while enabling reliable operation in wet or dusty environments where outdoor equipment and mobile machinery are exposed to the elements. This high level of environmental resistance translates to longer service life and lower replacement rates in demanding industries like mining, agricultural automation, and outdoor robotics. The 12‑pin, 12 contact (socket/female) arrangement delivers high-density connectivity within a compact shell size, enabling tighter panel layouts and fewer interconnects in automated lines and portable equipment, which improves assembly speed and reduces harness complexity. The straight plug with 1/3 bayonet coupling offers quick, vibration-resistant mating suitable for machinery subject to frequent movement, with reliable retention that minimizes accidental disconnections in dynamic applications. Powder-coated or natural plastic inserts and a polyamide insert contribute to overall chemical resistance, UV stability, and long-term durability, supporting lower lifecycle costs despite exposure to oil, gasoline, and various industrial fluids. The single-wire backshell and nut-assisted backshell design simplifies field assembly, allowing technicians to terminate wires rapidly while maintaining seal integrity. With a mating cycle rating of 250, the UTS6GN1492SW demonstrates durable performance over asset lifecycles typical of automation panels, robotics modules, and mobile equipment where frequent maintenance occurs. The connector’s voltage and current ratings — 10 A at up to 600 V (IEC/UL) and 7 A (CSA) test current — ensure compatibility with standard control power and signal circuits, reducing the need for adapters and stock variety. Operating temperature from −40 °C to 105 °C supports harsh ambient conditions in outdoor installations and industrial vehicles, while the UL94 V0 fire rating and RoHS/REACH compliance provide confidence in safety and regulatory adherence. For engineers evaluating compatibility, the UTS6GN1492SW’s 12‑cavity, 92‑layout arrangement and bayonet coupling are well-suited for applications requiring reliable, rugged connections in compact spaces, such as automated conveyors, remote sensor networks, and field-deployed control units.
