Eaton UTS78D33P Receptacle - IP68/69K Waterproof

IP68/IP69K protection and a compact jam-nut design deliver a sealed, vibration-resistant connection that minimizes ingress and maintenance in outdoor or washdown environments. Business impact: significantly reduced field repairs and downtime, enabling longer intervals between service windows and lower total cost of ownership. Application: perfect for rugged automation equipment and machinery exposed to dust, moisture, or chemical exposure. The 1/3 bayonet coupling enables quick mating and reliable retention under shock and vibration, improving line efficiency during assembly or field servicing. With 3 gold-plated PCB contacts and loaded contact delivery, you get low contact resistance, stable signal integrity, and predictable performance across 250 mating cycles. This translates to consistent performance in robotics, packaging, and process automation where uptime matters. Compatibility and installation are simplified by a standard 25.3 mm depth and 24x24 mm shell, reducing space and hardware while maintaining robust sealing. Environmental resistance, including gasoline, mineral oil, UV exposure, and salt spray tolerance, supports long life in harsh environments—so teams can design toward longer device lifecycles and reduced maintenance costs. The option of no backshell further reduces complexity and cost in compact panels, while the aluminum nut provides secure mounting at a predictable torque, avoiding over-tightening and material fatigue. In practice, engineers report smoother installations when integrating the UTS series with existing Souriau components, thanks to consistent mating geometry and documented performance under vibration. Overall, these features align with industry expectations for reliable, compliant, and scalable connector solutions in heavy equipment and equipment bays.
