Eaton UTS712D8SY32 Connector - IP68/69K

IP68/69K sealing in unmated condition protects against water, dust, and oil during assembly and field service, reducing unplanned downtime. The rugged plastic shell, neoprene insert, and jam nut receptacle maintain sealing integrity even in high‑pressure washdowns and outdoor installations. In automation lines, this translates to fewer seal failures, lower maintenance costs, and longer mean time between maintenance, especially where harsh cleaning regimes are routine. This resiliency is valuable in packaging, material handling, and outdoor control panels where reliability drives uptime. Eight PCB contacts with gold plating deliver low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, supporting reliable signals in dense controller assemblies. The 8‑cavity design accommodates power, sense, and data lines while preserving a compact footprint and simplifying harness design. Users gain reduced board routing complexity and better long-term performance under vibration, which translates into fewer field faults and lower spare parts consumption across automation platforms. 1/3 Bayonet coupling paired with a jam nut receptacle enables fast, repeatable mating in tight spaces. The arrangement permits quick installation without backshells, reducing parts count and potential leak paths. With Y-keying, installers ensure correct orientation of multi‑connector harnesses, improving first‑time fit and system reliability in panel assemblies. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C and rated for 250 mating cycles, the unit withstands vibration (10–2000 Hz) and exposure to mineral oil while maintaining electrical integrity. The combination of aluminum nut, neoprene insert, and plastic shell yields a durable, lightweight solution for conveyors, outdoor equipment, and industrial controls, delivering longer service life and lower maintenance costs. Supported by UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with ROHS exemption 6.c, this connector aligns with essential safety and environmental standards. Its IP68 rating and robust material selection simplify procurement and certification processes, while compatibility with 8 PCB contacts and gold plating ensures it fits a wide range of existing designs. This makes it a versatile choice for scalable automation projects and cross-line deployments.
