Eaton UTS6JC12E3SY Plastic Waterproof Connector - IP68/69K
Part Number: UTS6JC12E3SY
Quick Summary
Eaton UTS6JC12E3SY plastic waterproof connector provides reliable IP68/69K sealing for industrial control and automation equipment in washdown and outdoor environments. Field technicians often contend with water ingress, vibration, and corrosion that drive maintenance costs and downtime. This Souriau UTS series solution meets IEC 61984 and UL 1977 standards, with CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 compliance and ROHS exemption 6.c, giving global project teams confidence in regulatory alignment and supply chain resilience. Its compact 3‑cavity design with gold-plated solder contacts ensures robust signaling and safe power delivery in tight enclosures, while the Y-keyed orientation supports error-free mating and faster installation for panel builds and machinery integration. In practice, this means fewer field failures and easier, more reliable system assembly for automation upgrades.

IP68/69K sealing with a 3-contact (socket) configuration provides long-term protection against water, dust, and washdown exposure, reducing field failures and maintenance costs in outdoor or harsh industrial zones. This translates to higher machine uptime and lower total cost of ownership for automated lines and packaging systems. Gold-plated solder cups deliver low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, enhancing signal integrity and reliability in high-vibration environments typical of conveyors and robotic cells. The 1/3 bayonet coupling and Y orientation simplify mating alignment, speeding installation and reducing commissioning time during panel wiring and field retrofits. With operating temperatures from -40 °C to 105 °C, this connector supports equipment in mining, food processing, and outdoor control panels without performance loss. The 3‑to‑12 mm cable diameter range with a Sealing Gland backshell provides flexible strain relief and clean cabling in compact enclosures, while 250 mating cycles ensure durable reuse and lower lifecycle costs. Compliance to IEC 61984, UL 1977, CSA C22.2 No. 182.3, and RoHS exemption 6.c offers regulatory peace of mind for global deployments, making it a robust choice for industrial automation and control systems.

FAQs
Yes. The UTS6JC12E3SY uses the Souriau UTS series sealing gland backshell and backward-compatible 1/3 bayonet coupling, with a straight backshell angle and Y orientation to align mating parts quickly and accurately during field or panel installation.
The connector carries 16 A at IEC standards and 13 A at UL, with voltage ratings of 150 V IEC and 600 V UL/CSA. It supports up to 250 mating cycles and operates across -40 to 105 °C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and outdoor applications.
Absolutely. The IP68 rating along with IP69K readiness, oil, acid, and UV resistance, and neoprene insert material ensure durability in washdown zones, outdoor equipment, and environments with chemical exposure.
It complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA C22.2 No. 182.3, plus ROHS exemption 6.c. This supports global approvals for equipment designed for regulated industries and diverse markets.
With gold-plated contacts and a robust 250 mating cycles lifespan, you reduce contact resistance and replacement frequency. The sealed design minimizes water ingress, cutting downtime and service costs while enabling faster assembly and easier field servicing.
