Eaton UTS71832S Receptacle - IP68/IP69K Waterproof

IP68/IP69K sealing on the UTS71832S Jam Nut Receptacle protects all 32 contacts from water, dust, and high-pressure washdowns. This ingress protection translates into meaningful uptime gains and lower maintenance costs for equipment operating in food processing, packaging lines, outdoor machinery, and mobile assets. The rugged housing, corrosion-resistant aluminum nut, and compliant sealing ensure long service intervals in harsh environments.With a 32-contact layout and a 1/3 bayonet coupling, installation is fast, repeatable, and vibration-resistant. The jam-nut receptacle ships without a backshell, which simplifies panel mounting in tight spaces while preserving seal integrity. Harness routing is straightforward, and the compact footprint supports dense wiring in control cabinets, mobile equipment, and robotics installations without sacrificing reliability.Material selection and environmental resilience are tuned for tough conditions. The insert is polyamide, the shell plastic, and the nut aluminum, delivering light weight with strength. The connector resists mineral oil, acids, and bases, remains UV-stable, and withstands 500 hours of salt spray. It operates from −40 °C to 105 °C, ensuring dependable performance from factory floors to outdoor sites.Electrical ratings and durability drive system reliability. The receptacle supports 4 A IEC and 5 A UL current ratings with a 250 V test voltage, and a mating cycle life of 250 cycles. This combination suits low-power control circuits, sensors, and actuators in automation and mobile equipment, while maintaining safe margins under transient loads and environmental stress.Lifecycle, maintenance, and compatibility advantages are clear. The unit is designed to integrate with Souriau UTS family components, offering consistent fit and footprint across assemblies. Accessory options are ordered separately, and the orientation is set to N for straightforward panel integration. With 32 contacts and consistent termination methods, technicians can stock fewer parts while boosting first-time fix rates in field service.This UT S71832S solution aligns with safety and reliability goals across manufacturing, packaging, and transport sectors. By combining high ingress protection with solid electrical ratings and long-life mating cycles, it reduces total cost of ownership, shortens downtime, and supports regulatory compliance. Engineers can specify a single, scalable connector family for multiple machines, simplifying procurement and maintenance planning.
