Eaton UTS712D10SW Connector - IP68/69K Waterproof Receptacle

IP68/69K sealing and a jam-nut receptacle from the Souriau UTS series deliver rugged reliability in washdown environments. The sealing protects sensitive PCB interfaces from water, dust, and chemical splashes, while the jam-nut design simplifies panel mounting without a separate backshell. This combination reduces panel thickness constraints and minimizes ingress paths around the connector neck, resulting in fewer field faults and less rework during installation. In applications such as conveyors and outdoor control panels, engineers gain predictable performance under frequent cleaning cycles and harsh lighting conditions. Ten PCB contacts with gold plating ensure low contact resistance, high current capability, and robust signal integrity across the life of the assembly. The business impact is predictable electrical performance with lower maintenance costs and fewer intermittent faults, supported by 16 A IEC and 10 A UL ratings and a 300 V IEC / 500 V UL test voltage. In practice, this makes the UTS712D10SW ideal for PCB-to-wire harness interfaces in control electronics, enabling compact, bayonet-coupled assemblies that save space while preserving reliability. 1/3 bayonet coupling provides fast mating and a compact footprint, eliminating the need for a large backshell in many panel designs. The design increases uptime by enabling tool-less or quick-hand-assisted mating in production lines and field service scenarios, while maintaining a secure, vibration-resistant connection under heavy loads. For applications with limited space, such as machine dashboards, robotics arms, and portable conveyors, the bayonet coupling reduces assembly time without sacrificing strain relief or IP protection. Operating temperature from -40 to 105 °C, combined with resistance to oil, mineral oil, gasoline, UV exposure, and vibration from 10 to 2000 Hz, makes the UTS712D10SW suitable for extreme environments. This breadth of environmental resistance translates into longer mean time between failures (MTBF) and less scheduled downtime for equipment deployed in outdoor, warehouse, or hazardous locations. Customers report fewer gasket replacements or reseals, even after years of exposure in outdoor racks and washdown environments. Compliance with IEC 61984, RoHS exemption 6.c, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and UL 1977 supports safety certification and interchangeability across global supply chains. The formal alignment with recognized standards reduces procurement risk, simplifies audits, and accelerates vendor qualification processes. In engineering practice, the UTS712D10SW can be specified across multiple product families with consistent mating interfaces, which reduces SKU fragmentation and improves maintenance planning for large-scale automation projects. Additional design features include Neoprene insert, Aluminium nut, and plastic shell. The 25.3 mm depth and 31.8 mm height and width complement compact robotic and control-panel layouts, while 250 mating cycles provide durable lifecycle. With 10 cavities configured for PCB, gold-plated contacts, and no backshell option, the UTS712D10SW supports rugged, cost-efficient automation in demanding environments.
