Eaton UTS714D18PZ Receptacle - IP68/69K Waterproof Connector

Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68/IP69K protection ensures ingress protection in submerged or high-pressure wash environments, reducing field failures and maintenance costs while enabling outdoor or washdown industrial automation. Application: conveyor systems, packaging lines, and outdoor machinery where moisture is unavoidable. Feature → 18 PCB contacts with gold plating delivers low contact resistance and high corrosion resistance, boosting signal integrity and extending service life in demanding conditions. Application: control panels, sensor networks, and machine interfaces requiring reliable 18-way PCB connectivity. Feature → 1/3 bayonet coupling and jam-nut receptacle design with keying Z simplifies installation and retention, cutting assembly time and fatigue in tight panels. Application: compact enclosures and space-constrained control housings. Feature → Operating range -40 °C to 105 °C and broad environmental resistance (oil, acid, gasoline, UV) support stable performance across temperature swings and exposure, reducing unplanned downtime. Application: outdoor automation, automotive, and process automation gear. Feature → 250 mating cycles and durable shell and insert materials (plastic shell, neoprene insert) provide predictable lifecycle costs and quick field replacements. Application: maintenance planning for high-usage control interfaces. Feature → Compliance with UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984 and ROHS exemption 6.c reduces certification effort and accelerates procurement for safety-critical systems. Application: industrial standards-compliant assemblies in safety-conscious facilities.
