Eaton UTS710E7PWM16 Waterproof Connector - IP68/69K

IP68/IP69K sealing is achieved through a threaded receptacle with a 1/3 bayonet coupling, providing reliable protection during wash-down cycles and outdoor exposure. Feature → Business Impact → Application: This high ingress resistance minimizes downtime and corrosion risk in food processing, automotive assembly, and outdoor machinery, improving uptime and lifecycle costs. The 7-pin solder cup contacts are gold-plated for low contact resistance and long-term reliability, enabling consistent signal integrity in sensor networks and control loops while reducing maintenance intervals. Operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C supports equipment used in cold storage, deserts, and high-temperature environments, ensuring consistent performance across shifts and seasons. With 250 mating cycles, the UTS710E7PWM16 lowers replacement costs in maintenance-heavy installations and supports long-term automation projects. The no-backshell option emphasizes compact installation and reduces accessory complexity, while still meeting IP68/69K standards for harsh environments. The connector’s neoprene insert, plastic shell, and 7-position layout optimize space in control panels and machine enclosures, enabling easier routing and field upgrades. Gold-plated solder contacts provide corrosion resistance and signal fidelity for precise instrumentation signals in industrial networks, addressing common objections about longevity in oily or dusty environments. Finally, the 7-position arrangement, along with 10-shell size and 27 mm width/height, delivers a compact yet capable interface for tight panel integration and quick replacements when modules are swapped in maintenance cycles.
