IP68/IP69K sealing in unmated conditions reduces ingress during washdowns and outdoor exposure, translating to less downtime and longer service intervals in food processing, packaging lines, and outdoor machinery. The six gold-plated solder cup contacts provide reliable signal transfer with corrosion resistance, improving uptime and reducing maintenance costs in control circuits and sensor networks. A 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers quick, secure mating with strong vibration resistance, accelerating field servicing and minimizing tool requirements on site. The jam nut receptacle design with an aluminium nut ensures secure, tool-free panel mounting and straightforward retrofit into existing enclosures. Operating from -40 to 105 °C and resistant to oils and UV, the unit supports durable performance across diverse climates and industrial settings. With 250 mating cycles, it offers a predictable lifecycle, supporting long-term maintenance planning and lower total cost of ownership. The neoprene insert and plastic shell deliver reliable environmental sealing while keeping weight and size compact for streamlined harness design and space-constrained panels. This combination of features makes the UTS710E98PX compatible with Souriau’s UTS ecosystem, enabling scalable connectivity for evolving automation architectures.

FAQs
The UTS710E98PX is a jam nut receptacle that mounts on panels using an aluminium nut for secure retention. It ships without a backshell; a backshell must be ordered separately if required for additional sealing or cable protection. It uses 6 solder cup contacts and a 1/3 bayonet coupling for fast, reliable mating. For integration, route the contacts through the mating connector and tighten the nut against the panel to ensure a stable, vibration-resistant connection.
Electrical ratings include a current rating of 7 A IEC and 6 A UL, with a test current of 6 A CSA / 7 A IEC / 6 A UL and test voltage of 250 V CSA / 50 V IEC / 250 V UL. Operating temperature spans from -40 to 105 °C. The connector carries IP68 protection, with a plastic shell and neoprene insert, and is designed for 6 contacts (solder cup) with gold plating for reliability in challenging environments.
Yes. The UTS710E98PX features IP68 sealing and UV resistance, along with salt spray resistance (500 hours) and oil resistance. These characteristics make it appropriate for outdoor installations, washdown areas, and environments with exposure to moisture, chemicals, and mechanical washdowns common in manufacturing and process industries.
The connector aligns with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support regulatory compliance for industrial equipment. If your project requires CE marking or SIL certification, confirm with Eaton for the latest compliance status and any regional variations.
Mating cycles are rated at 250, indicating solid lifecycle performance for intermittent to frequent disconnect/reconnect uses. Gold-plated solder cups reduce wear and corrosion, contributing to longer-term reliability. For maintenance, inspect seals after exposure to washdowns, replace any worn backshell if used, and verify panel mounting torque to preserve IP68 integrity and vibration resistance.
