Eaton UTS78D33PW Plastic Waterproof IP68/69k Connector

IP68/69k waterproof performance is a cornerstone of the UTS78D33PW. The plastic jam-nut receptacle seals the three PCB contacts against dust, water and washing processes, delivering dependable operation in harsh environments. When equipment is exposed to outdoor weather, wash-downs, or high-pressure cleaning, this connector helps protect critical control signals and power connections. The 3-pin PCB contact arrangement uses gold-plated contacts to resist oxidation and maintain low contact resistance across mating cycles. With a compact 25.3 mm length and 24 mm width, it fits tight panel spaces while preserving electrical integrity. 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides fast, tool-free mating and secure retention during vibration. The jam-nut receptacle design and aluminium nut enable straightforward panel mounting without a backshell, reducing assembly steps and inventory requirements. Environmental resistance includes UV stability, basic bath resistance, mineral oil and gasoline resistance, and 500-hour salt spray endurance. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C supports reliable performance in extreme plant conditions and during thermal cycling. With a 7 A current rating and 250 V test voltage, the UTS78D33PW is built for reliable control and power interfaces in automation systems. Mating cycles of 250 and a robust IP68 rating translate to lower replacement costs and longer service intervals. These features align with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 certifications, helping global projects meet regulatory expectations. The RoHS exemption 6.c confirms compliance with electronics environmental requirements, while the plastic shell and neoprene insert support consistent performance across installations.
