Eaton UTS712E8P Plastic Waterproof IP68/69K Receptacle - 8 Contacts
Part Number: UTS712E8P
Quick Summary
The Eaton Souriau UTS series plastic waterproof IP68/69K connector delivers rugged 8‑pin solder-contact reliability for harsh environments. Engineers often struggle with ingress protection and corrosion in mobile or outdoor equipment, leading to unexpected downtime. It meets UL 1977, IEC 61984 and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with ROHS exemption 6.c, providing regulatory assurance across global deployments. Rated for -40 to 105 °C operation and IP68 sealing in unmated conditions, it tolerates vibration while maintaining signal integrity. The compact jam-nut receptacle uses a 1/3 bayonet coupling, gold-plated solder cups, and 8 contacts, enabling straightforward field wiring. These design choices translate to lower maintenance costs, faster replacements, and higher uptime in automation, material handling, and mobile equipment applications.

FAQs
The UTS712E8P is a jam nut receptacle designed for 8‑pin solder cup contacts with gold plating and a 1/3 bayonet coupling. For mating, select compatible UTS series plugs with the same shell size and contact arrangement. Note that backshell accessories are not included and must be ordered separately to meet IP68 sealing in unmated conditions.
Install the jam nut receptacle using the supplied nut and thread engagement to ensure a watertight seal. Since no backshell is included, plan for an appropriate separate backshell if shielding is required. Ensure mating orientation is correct (N) and verify the 8 gold-plated solder cups are properly crimped or soldered for reliable contact.
The UTS712E8P complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with ROHS exemption 6.c. This combination provides strong regulatory assurance for global deployments, especially in machinery and automation projects requiring standard interconnects and restricted substances control.
It supports a wide temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C and a robust IP68 rating in unmated conditions, with resistance to vibrations from 10 to 2000 Hz. The mating cycles are rated at 250, and the contact is gold-plated 8‑pin solder cup, delivering reliable operation in rugged environments.
Current rating is 4.5 A UL and 6 A IEC, with a test current of 6 A IEC and test voltage of 250 V UL / 32 V IEC / 250 V CSA. Plan for these limits in control circuits and actuation loads, and ensure the cabling and terminations meet solder cup requirements for a secure, compliant connection.
