Eaton UTS712E10PY Plastic Waterproof IP68/69k Connector - IP68/69K
Part Number: UTS712E10PY
Quick Summary
The Eaton UTS712E10PY is a plastic waterproof IP68/69k connector for rugged field installations. This jam-nut receptacle delivers reliable power and signal connections in harsh environments where moisture and dust threaten uptime. Engineers often battle moisture ingress, corrosion, and failed seals when using unmated couplings in outdoor machinery. Compliances with IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and UL 1977 (with ROHS exemption 6.c) support global compliance and field service readiness. The UTS712E10PY leverages 10 gold-plated solder contacts, a 1/3 bayonet coupling, and a compact footprint of 25.3 mm length and 31.8 mm width, delivering a robust solution for sensors, actuators, and control panels. This translates to reduced maintenance, faster installation, and lower total cost of ownership for industrial equipment operators, integrators, and OEMs.

The 10-pin solder cup contacts with gold plating deliver low contact resistance and reliable terminations, reducing maintenance cycles and field retries in critical sensor and actuator wiring. This translates to measurable uptime gains in automated lines and safer, consistent signal transmission in harsh environments. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick, tool-free mating and unmating, improving installation efficiency during commissioning and routine servicing in confined electrical cabinets. Jam-nut receptacle mounting provides a secure, water-sealed connection, minimizing ingress in outdoor machinery and on portable equipment. The IP68 protection rating in unmated conditions, along with UV resistance and chemical tolerance (neoprene insert, plastic shell), supports long service life under outdoor exposure and harsh cleaning cycles. With a mating life of up to 250 cycles, the design accommodates routine maintenance without compromising performance. The 25.3 mm length, 31.8 mm width, and 15.3 g weight offer a compact, lightweight footprint for tight panel layouts while maintaining robust electrical performance. Designed for Souriau UTS series compatibility, this connector supports field-install friendly terminations, reducing workshop downtime and boosting overall equipment effectiveness. Operating temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C ensures reliability across seasonal and process variations, while complying with RoHS and UL/CSA/IEC standards to ease global procurement and minimize regulatory risk. In practice, engineers can specify UTS712E10PY with confidence for outdoor machinery, robotic cells, and control panels where space is at a premium and reliability is non-negotiable.

FAQs
Install the jam-nut receptacle using appropriate sealing and mounting hardware; the connector is provided as a jam-nut receptacle and does not include a backshell by default, so order the backshell separately if needed. Align the 1/3 bayonet coupling, mate with the corresponding plug, and tighten the nut to seal against IP68 ingress. Ensure the 10 gold-plated solder cups are properly soldered to the conductors and that a proper strain relief is in place to sustain vibration and flexing in industrial environments.
The connector supports 16 A IEC and 10 A UL current ratings, with test currents up to 16 A IEC, 10 A UL, and 7 A CSA. It also supports up to 500 V voltages in CSA/UL configurations and 300 V IEC. This makes the unit suitable for power and signal distribution in rugged automation panels, sensors, and actuators while meeting common regulatory expectations.
Yes. The unit features IP68 sealing in unmated conditions and UV resistance, along with resistance to mineral oil, acid/bath exposure, and gasoline per the environmental resistance spec. Its operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C makes it suitable for outdoor and harsh indoor environments where temperature fluctuations occur, minimizing downtime due to environmental stress and moisture ingress.
The connector references IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No. 182.3, and UL 1977 compliance, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support global installation and supply chain requirements, helping ensure safety, interoperability, and regulatory alignment for equipment used in diverse markets and export scenarios.
The device is a Jam Nut Receptacle designed for the UTS series, featuring a 1/3 bayonet coupling, 10-position layout, and 12-shell size with neoprene insert. Its compatibility is reinforced by standard Souriau UTS mechanical interfaces, 10 cavity capability, and gold-plated solder cup contacts, enabling reliable terminations and straightforward integration with UTS plug counterparts in control cabinets and field installations.
