The UTS71492P leverages a robust 12-position jam-nut receptacle with a 1/3 bayonet coupling to ensure secure mating in demanding environments, reducing the risk of accidental disconnects in vibration-prone applications. This translates to measurable uptime gains for mining equipment, outdoor automation panels, and industrial machinery, where field servicing and water exposure are common. The plastic shell houses a polyamide insert and aluminium nut, delivering a lightweight yet durable solution that supports up to 250 mating cycles while maintaining IP68 protection, helping owners plan maintenance cycles with confidence. Electrical performance is consistent across regions, offering a 10 A rating and 600 V test voltage, which supports compliant operation in mixed-supply installations. The design also resists UV exposure, oils, and chemicals, lowering long-term replacement costs and boosting total cost of ownership. Compatibility with standard crimp contacts and the availability of accessories (backshells) separately simplifies installation and reduces project risk. In practice, engineers gain speed during wiring, improved reliability in harsh environments, and a shoestring approach to spares inventory thanks to uniform connector families across a global fleet.

FAQs
The UTS71492P is a 12-position male crimp contact jam-nut receptacle with a 1/3 bayonet coupling in shell size 14 and an N orientation. It ships without a backshell or contact delivery, so you’ll need the corresponding Eaton Souriau backshell accessory and crimp contacts ordered separately. It mates with the matching UTS plug housing and supports up to 250 mating cycles, enabling reliable field connections.
The UTS71492P features IP68 sealing and IP69K capability, operating from -40 to 105 C. It is UV resistant, resistant to gasoline and oils, and withstands vibrations from 10 to 2000 Hz. With 12 positions and 10 A current rating, it supports safe operation in wet, dusty, and chemically challenging environments, reducing maintenance frequency and downtime.
This connector complies with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and IEC 61984, providing safety certification, cross-border interoperability, and procurement consistency for global projects. For detailed compliance scope and testing procedures, contact Eaton’s technical team, as some details may vary by region or application.
Install with the jam-nut receptacle in the intended orientation (N) and secure it with the appropriate backshell accessory ordered separately. Use standard crimp contacts and ensure proper seating to avoid loose connections. Regular inspection should focus on seal integrity and mating connections, given the 12-contact configuration and the environmental demands of outdoor and industrial installations.
Expect reduced downtime due to superior ingress protection (IP68) and high environmental resistance (UV, oils, chemicals). The 12-pin, 10 A design supports reliable long-term operation with up to 250 mating cycles, lowering replacement frequency. Global compliance simplifies procurement and minimizes compliance risk across multinational deployments, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
