Eaton UTS6JC103S Plastic IP68/69K Connector - 3 Contacts IP68/69K

IP68/69K waterproofing and a sealing gland backshell provide superior ingress protection, preventing water, dust, and chemical exposure from compromising connections. This directly reduces downtime in wash-down environments and outdoor installations, enabling safer, more reliable automation networks. The UTS6JC103S offers a 3-contact, straight plug configuration with a ground cavity and a first mate last break capability, simplifying harness routing and speeding assembly in tight control panels. With an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C and UV and chemical resistance, it stays dependable in extreme industrial conditions, lowering replacement cycles and maintenance costs. The rated current of 10 A (UL) / 16 A (IEC) and test voltage up to 500 V ensure compatibility with a wide range of actuators and sensors, reducing the need for multiple adapters. Designed for 250 mating cycles, this connector supports high-cycle automation lines, contributing to lower life-cycle costs. Mating and disassembly are straightforward thanks to the 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight plug design, which minimizes operator fatigue and mis-wiring risks. The backshell is optimized for easy cable entry with a gland, and the connector orientation (N) aligns with common panel and harness layouts, enabling scalable installations across machines and lines. Insert materials use polyamide for durability and chemical resistance, while the plastic shell keeps weight manageable in weight-sensitive installations. In practice, engineers report faster wiring, improved field reliability, and better traceability for maintenance logs when using the UTS6JC103S in automation cabinets and field wiring harnesses.
