Eaton UTS71492PX Receptacle - IP68/69K Waterproof

The IP68/69K rating combined with UV resistance and broad environmental endurance translates into fewer field failures and lower maintenance costs for outdoor equipment and vehicles. These features matter in industrial automation, mobile machinery, and outdoor robotics where exposure to water, dust, and temperature swings is inevitable. The 12-contact jam-nut receptacle design enables reliable, compact wiring with a 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick mating in tight spaces, reducing assembly time and exposure to connectors during installation. With a current rating of 10 A and a test voltage of 63 V, this connector supports typical control and sensing circuits while preserving safety margins in harsh environments. The insert material of Polyamide and shell components in plastic, with an aluminium nut, deliver durable, lightweight strength and corrosion resistance for long service life. Mating cycles of 250 and salt spray endurance of 500 hours provide predictable lifecycle planning and reduced replacement costs. The design also accommodates industry standards and regulatory expectations, including RoHS and REACH compliance, UL94 V0 flammability, and vibration resilience per IEC 60512-4, ensuring reliable performance in demanding applications such as heavy equipment, wind turbines, and automated material handling. Compatibility with Souriau UTS series ecosystems supports streamlined spares provisioning and consistent mating with existing harnesses and backshell options, which helps optimize procurement and reduce downtime in production lines.
