Eaton UTS6JC12E10PZ Connector - IP68/69K Waterproof
Part Number: UTS6JC12E10PZ
Quick Summary
Eaton UTS6JC12E10PZ connector provides waterproof IP68/69K protection for reliable power and signal transmission in harsh industrial environments. In wet, oily, or vibration-prone facilities, standard connectors often fail due to ingress, corrosion, or loose contacts. UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 certifications (along with RoHS exemption 6.c) reinforce its regulatory readiness. The combination of rugged sealing and durable copper/gold-plated contacts translates to longer service life, reduced field failures, and lower maintenance costs. By leveraging the Souriau UTS series design, you gain compatibility with existing panels and faster installation, delivering measurable business value such as improved uptime and safer, compliant wiring in demanding applications.

FAQs
Yes. The UTS6JC12E10PZ is part of the Souriau UTS series and uses standard 1/3 bayonet coupling with Z-keying, ensuring straightforward mating with compatible UTS receptacles and backshells. Its backshell with Sealing Gland maintains IP68 sealing during installation, while the 66.7 mm length and 12-shell size align with common UTS footprints for quick retrofit projects.
The connector provides a 16 A current rating (IEC) and 10 A (UL), tested at up to 500 V. It supports 10 gold-plated Solder Cup contacts and delivers reliable performance across temperatures from -40 °C to 105 °C. Mating cycles are rated at 250, aligning with typical industrial automation use cases.
Absolutely. It carries IP68 sealing suitable for immersion in water and exposure to oils, oils, and dust. Certifications include UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and RoHS exemption 6.c, giving you regulatory confidence for electrical equipment in control systems and machinery used in extreme conditions.
Begin by terminating cables within the 3–12 mm diameter range using the Sealing Gland backshell. Ensure the neoprene insert seats properly to preserve the IP rating. Attach the straight plug to the receptacle with the 1/3 bayonet coupling, verify gold-plated solder cup terminations are secure, and test for continuity and insulation resistance per your internal QC protocol.
Investing in the UTS6JC12E10PZ reduces downtime due to ingress-related failures and minimizes maintenance through robust sealing and high mating cycle capability (250 cycles). The long-term value comes from extended service intervals, easier field servicing, and regulatory compliance, which lowers warranty and service costs while improving overall equipment uptime.
