Eaton UTS712E8SX Receptacle - IP68/69K Waterproof Connector

IP68/69K protection with unmated condition sealing ensures reliable operation in wet environments. This high-integrity seal minimizes moisture ingress and contaminant intrusion, reducing field failures and service calls. Installers benefit from a robust, field-ready interface on outdoor machines, conveyors, and remote sensors. Eight gold-plated solder cup contacts deliver stable, corrosion-resistant joints and improved current transfer, ensuring dependable performance in vibration-prone environments and long-term reliability for sensor and actuator harnesses. The solder cup design also simplifies installation in compact panels and tight routing spaces, lowering assembly time and error rates. A 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast, tool-free mating with secure retention, accelerating commissioning and reducing downtime during maintenance. The combination of quick-mate mechanics and rugged sealing supports efficient field service in automation lines and outdoor equipment. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C broadens applicability to extreme temperatures found in outdoor industrial and cold-storage facilities, hot production floors, and harsh environmental zones. This wide range translates to fewer substitutes and design changes across product generations, minimizing program disruption. With 250 mating cycles, the UTS712E8SX is engineered for durable field life, predictable maintenance planning, and lower lifecycle costs. The jam nut receptacle design simplifies panel mounting and eliminates the need for additional backshells in constrained installations, saving material and installation time. Regulatory compliance is built in, with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984 recognition, plus RoHS exemption 6.c, aligning with global product qualification and supplier requirements for industrial automation projects.
