Eaton UTS6JC12E3P UTS Series Connector - IP68/69K

IP68/IP69K sealing in a compact plastic shell protects the three-pin plug from moisture, dust, and corrosive splashes, reducing unplanned downtime in outdoor automation. The gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver low-contact resistance and reliable signal integrity across 16 A IEC and 13 A UL test currents, while the backshell with Sealing Gland ensures a watertight interface even under harsh vibration. Designed with a 1/3 bayonet coupling and straight plug orientation, installation is fast and repeatable, cutting commissioning time in field applications. The 66.7 mm length and 29.7 mm cross-section fit tight electrical cabinets, and the 3-cavity layout aligns with standard control harnesses, helping maintainers simplify wiring and inspections. The 250 mating cycles provide durable reuse in production lines. Operational temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C covers extreme climates, while the neoprene insert and plastic shell resist oils, acids, and UV exposure. The connector's salt spray tolerance (500 hours) adds to long-term reliability in coastal or industrial environments, and the 3-contact design keeps wire harnesses compact and organized during maintenance. Regulatory compliance is a core benefit: UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 certifications help satisfy safety and installation requirements, with RoHS exemption 6.c supporting materials restrictions. The connector is intended as a plug with a sealing gland backshell and gold-plated contacts for robust, long-life operation. From spare parts planning to procurement, this Eaton/Souriau solution integrates easily with existing cables (Cable diameter min 3 mm, max 12 mm) and assemblies. Its shell size 12, plastic shell, and backplug orientation 'N' streamline compatibility with current Eaton Souriau accessory ecosystems and ensure reliable mating across equipment types.
