Eaton UTS714D12PX Receptacle - IP68/IP69K Waterproof

IP68/69K waterproofing provides reliable performance in washdown and outdoor environments, reducing ingress risk and extending service life; this translates to lower maintenance costs and less unscheduled downtime in automated lines. The 12-pin PCB contact layout with gold-plated contacts ensures low contact resistance and stable signal transfer for control and sensing circuits, improving panel reliability and reducing rejection rates in high-vibration applications. A 4 A current rating (4 A IEC, 4.5 A UL) with 250 V withstand capability supports typical motor control and power-sensing applications while maintaining a compact footprint ideal for tight panel spaces. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick secure mating and efficient field assembly, minimizing installation time and field errors. With operating temperatures from -40 °C to 105 °C, UV resistance, and salt spray endurance, it suits outdoor equipment, robotic arms, and industrial automation in challenging environments. Mating cycles of 250 ensure predictable lifecycle behavior, while the jam-nut receptacle and X-keying simplify orientation and alignment during panel installation. The no backshell option reduces accessory inventory and streamlines configurations for customer-specific IP ratings and sealing requirements. Insert material neoprene and shell plastic deliver a balanced combination of sealing integrity, light weight, and chemical resistance, contributing to lower total cost of ownership in washdown-heavy processes. Salt spray endurance, UV stability, and broad environmental resistance make this connector suitable for marine, agricultural, and heavy equipment deployments where reliability is mission-critical. In practice, engineers value the straightforward PCB connection, reputable Eaton/Souriau quality, and predictable performance across temperature and vibration profiles, supporting compliant, scalable automation architectures.
