Eaton UTS78D3SW Receptacle - IP68/69K Waterproof Connector

IP68/69K protection and environmental resistance directly translate to reduced field failures and less downtime in harsh environments, improving overall equipment availability. The sealed interface guards against dust, water, and oil ingress, enabling reliable operation in outdoor enclosures and humid factories, which lowers maintenance costs and increases uptime. The 3 PCB contacts, gold plating, and PCB contact type ensure stable signal integrity and durable conduction paths for control signals and low-power power delivery, supporting resilient automation networks and precise sensor interfacing. With a current rating of 7 A and 250 mating cycles, the connector delivers predictable life-cycle performance in robotics, conveyors, and packaging lines, reducing replacement cycles and spare parts stock. The 1/3 bayonet coupling and jam-nut receptacle design simplify installation in tight panels, enabling faster commissioning and fewer field adjustments while maintaining strong retention through vibration. Insert material Neoprene and shell plastic contribute to lightweight, corrosion-resistant assemblies that meet RoHS expectations, supporting compliant equipment and easier supplier qualification. The no backshell option reduces components and simplifies assemblies in space-constrained enclosures, while the 25.3 mm length and 24 mm width/height provide a compact footprint suitable for modular automation designs. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 105 °C covers extreme factory floors and outdoor installations, ensuring dependable operation in varied climates and seasonal conditions. Salt spray resistance for up to 500 hours adds corrosion protection for coastal or chemical environments, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership through enhanced reliability and longer service intervals.
