Eaton UTS714D18PX Receptacle - IP68/69K Waterproof Connector

IP68/69K sealing and bayonet coupling are core features of the UTS714D18PX, delivering dependable performance in washdown zones and environments with oil, dust, or humidity. The 18-pin PCB contact layout uses gold-plated terminals to preserve signal quality in compact interconnects, while maintaining low contact resistance over time. The jam-nut receptacle with 1/3 bayonet coupling simplifies installation and mating in confined panels, and the design omits a backshell to minimize parts and leak paths. This combination supports robust sensor networks, motor feedback, and control signaling in harsh industrial settings. Electrical ratings translate into tangible uptime and safety margins, with 4 A UL and 5 A IEC ratings, 5 A IEC test current, and 250 V test voltage providing a comfortable operating envelope for sensors, actuators, and logic modules. Gold-plated PCB contacts ensure reliable conductivity in polluted or humid environments, while the 18-contact insert supports standard PCB footprints without custom terminations, reducing design complexity and time to production. The lack of a backshell lowers accessory costs and simplifies field maintenance, particularly in confined spaces where serviceability is critical. Environmental resistance, including mineral oil and UV exposure tolerance, further extends service intervals, making this connector ideal for conveyors, outdoor machinery, and process lines where uptime is mission-critical. The UTS714D18PX also benefits from Souriau’s legacy of rugged interconnects, offering confidence in long-term deployments across diverse industries that require dependable connectivity under challenging conditions.
