Eaton UTS6JC8E3ASX Connector IP68/69K
Part Number: UTS6JC8E3ASX
Quick Summary
The Eaton UTS6JC8E3ASX Connector provides a rugged IP68/69K waterproof connection for industrial equipment. Moisture ingress and unreliable seals routinely limit uptime in outdoor, damp, or high-vibration environments. Compliant with IEC 61984 and UL 1977, with ROHS exemption 6.c and IP68 protection, it offers dependable connectivity. The compact 54 mm length and 3-contact configuration reduce wiring complexity while gold-plated contacts resist corrosion. Designed for automation engineers and procurement teams, it supports reliable, maintenance-light operation across rugged industrial connectors and sealed plug ecosystems.

FAQs
To install, align the straight plug with the mating receptacle, engage the 1/3 bayonet coupling until it seats with a tactile cue, and tighten the backshell sealing gland to compress the neoprene insert. The three female solder contacts are pre-loaded, simplifying field wiring. Ensure cable diameter falls within 1.5 to 6.5 mm for optimal seal and strain relief. This approach minimizes ingress paths and reduces rework in confined spaces.
The UTS6JC8E3ASX provides a 7 A current rating at up to 250 V, with three gold-plated solder cup contacts configured as a socket (female). It is rated for IP68 sealing, supports up to 250 mating cycles, and uses a neoprene insert in a plastic shell. These specs translate to reliable power and signal integrity in tough environments with durable, corrosion-resistant connections.
Yes. The IP68/69K sealing, UV resistance, oil and gasoline resistance, and a sealing gland backshell make it ideal for outdoor machinery, conveyors, and rugged automation equipment. Its 54 mm length and compact form factor simplify panel layouts, while the bayonet coupling provides quick field mating, reducing downtime on lines that experience exposure to dust, moisture, and variable temperatures.
This connector aligns with IEC 61984 and UL 1977, with ROHS exemption 6.c noted. It carries IP68 protection for unmated conditions and uses gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance. While not explicitly listing SIL, CE, or other marks in the data, the IEC and UL certifications support regulatory and safety expectations for electrical connectors in automation systems.
The 250 mating cycles indicate a durable, reusable connection that reduces spare-part needs and downtime. Combined with gold-plated contacts and durable polarity sealing, this translates to lower maintenance costs, longer service intervals, and a favorable return on investment for equipment that requires frequent connect/disconnect cycles on outdoor or wash-down lines.
