Eaton UTS6JC12E14SW Plastic IP68/69k Connector - IP68/69k
Part Number: UTS6JC12E14SW
Quick Summary
Eaton Souriau UTS series plastic waterproof IP68/69k connector delivers sealed power and signal connections for harsh equipment. Engineers wrestle with moisture, dust, and wash-down exposure that threaten uptime and safety. UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 compliances accompany RoHS exemption 6.c, elevating reliability in process and automation applications. Its IP68 rating and 14-contact layout suit rugged panel, machine, and sensor networks, delivering easy installation and long service life. Backshell back gland and straight plug orientation simplify field assembly, while 14 conductor positions enable compact sensor networks and motor feedback. Operating range -40 to 105 C, 250 mating cycles, and 3–12 mm cable diameter compatibility translate to fewer part swaps and lower maintenance costs.

FAQs
Install by sliding the plug into the mating receptacle with the straight plug orientation (W) and secure the Sealing Gland backshell to provide the IP68/69k seal. Ensure the cable diameter is within 3–12 mm, then attach the cable gland backshell for proper strain relief. The 14-pole layout wires as solder cups, with gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance, and is delivered with connector to simplify field assembly.
Current rating is 5 A IEC and 4.5 A UL, with test current also 5 A IEC/CSA/UL. Test voltage ratings are 250 V UL/CSA and 32 V IEC. These ratings support typical control circuits and low-power sensors while maintaining safe operation under standard industrial conditions.
Yes. The IP68/69k sealing, robust plastics, and backshell gland design make it well-suited for wash-down and outdoor automation where moisture, dust, and cleaning agents are present. The 14-pin arrangement supports distributed I/O and sensor networks, while the 66.7 mm length keeps panel footprints compact.
Compliances include UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984, and RoHS exemption 6.c. These standards ensure electrical safety, interconnection integrity, and environmental compliance across automation systems and machinery.
With 250 mating cycles and gold-plated contacts, the connector offers reliable reuse and long service life, reducing replacement frequency. Its rugged IP68/69k sealing minimizes ingress-related downtime, while the backshell provides effective strain relief, lowering maintenance costs and extending overall system uptime in demanding environments.
