Eaton UTS710E7PM16 Plastic Connector - IP68/69K

IP68/69K protection provides durable ingress resistance in unmated conditions, reducing field failure risk and maintenance cost in wet or dusty environments, enabling longer service intervals and improved machine uptime. The 7-position, gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver robust signal integrity and corrosion resistance, extending product life in harsh surroundings while simplifying harness terminations for reliable automation installations. The 1/3 bayonet coupling coupled with a threaded receptacle delivers secure mating under vibration and mechanical shock common in industrial settings, improving uptime and reducing rework during installation. With a current rating of 7 A (IEC) and 6 A (UL), this connector supports demanding control and sensor applications at up to 50 V (IEC) and 250 V (UL/CSA), while a compact footprint (21.5 mm depth, 27 mm width/height) enables dense panel layouts. The UTS710E7PM16 is designed for up to 250 mating cycles, offering predictable lifecycle costs and maintenance planning. The plastic shell and neoprene insert balance weather resistance with ease of installation, and the absence of a backshell option simplifies inventory and field readiness for standard automation builds. Compatibility with the Souriau UTS family ensures a consistent approach to IP-rated connectors, reducing procurement complexity and enabling faster design wins. Industry professionals benefit from documented compliance (UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984) and RoHS exemption 6.c, supporting regulatory alignment, sustainability goals, and streamlined qualification in mixed supplier environments.
