Eaton UTS71492PW Receptacle - IP68/69K Waterproof

The UTS71492PW uses IP68 rated sealing and a jam-nut receptacle design to prevent water ingress and dust intrusion, boosting uptime in outdoor and wet environments, which translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer field service calls. This 12-position, male crimp contact arrangement supports a compact footprint while delivering predictable electrical performance, reducing cabinet footprint and facilitating faster assembly in production lines. With a 1/3 bayonet coupling and aluminum nut, installation is quick yet secure, minimizing loosening under vibration and temperature cycling common in industrial plants and agricultural machinery. The polyamide insert and plastic shell strike a balance between durability and weight, enabling easier handling on-site while maintaining corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. Rated at 10 A and up to 600 V, this receptacle aligns with modern automation standards and helps ensure compliance in machine-made equipment, robotics, and energy infrastructure. Its 250 mating cycles indicate robust life expectancy for recurring maintenance schedules, while RoHS and REACH compliance support sustainability and global product approvals. Users also benefit from compatibility with standard 12-contact configurations and installation flexibility in tight panels or enclosures, supporting a broad range of OEM designs and retrofit projects. In practice, engineers report smoother onboarding of new equipment, reduced downtime during connector mating, and improved traceability for maintenance records, all contributing to a stronger total cost of ownership picture.
