Eaton UTS714D18SW Receptacle - IP68 Waterproof

IP68/69K sealing provides robust ingress protection even when connectors are unmated. This reduces the risk of moisture intrusion during storage or field servicing, lowering maintenance overhead. In real-world automation panels, such sealing keeps sensor and controller connections reliable in washdown environments and outdoor machinery. 18 PCB contacts with gold plating ensure high signal integrity and corrosion resistance over time. The result is consistent contact performance in dense PCB layouts and harsh environments, minimizing intermittent faults. Use cases include control boards and sensor arrays in robotics, conveyors, and machine tools where dense, reliable interconnects matter. 1/3 bayonet coupling enables fast mating and secure retention without complex tools. This improves on-site installation speed and reduces a technician's time in the cabinet, lowering downtime. Applications include modular automation assemblies and equipment that require quick field swaps or maintenance. Operating range from -40 to 105 C with UV resistance empowers performance across cold rooms to outdoor sun exposure. The design also withstands vibrations from 10 to 2000 Hz, ensuring functionality on demanding machinery. Mating cycles up to 250 and the jam-nut receptacle design support long lifecycle and rugged use. The plastic shell with neoprene insert provides durable sealing and resilience to oils, acids, and salt spray, reducing maintenance costs. No backshell option simplifies installation and reduces components, while compatibility with Souriau UTS series accessories aids scalable upgrades.
