Eaton UTS78D98PW32 Receptacle Connector - IP68/69K
Part Number: UTS78D98PW32
Quick Summary
The Eaton Souriau UTS78D98PW32 plastic waterproof IP68/69k connector is a rugged receptacle designed for PCB-mounted control and power circuits in harsh environments. Engineers often struggle with waterproof integrity and vibration-related failures, but this design delivers reliable sealing with jam nut mounting, hold-down clips, and a 1/3 bayonet coupling. It meets UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption, and its IP68 rating supports immersion plus long-term environmental resistance. With a compact footprint—25.3 mm long, 24 mm wide, 24 mm high—and 7.2 g weight, it enables space-saving, durable connections for automation, outdoor equipment, and machine controls.

FAQs
The UTS78D98PW32 uses a jam nut receptacle with hold-down clips and no backshell. Install from the panel side, secure with the jam nut to create a water-tight seal, then attach the mating plug using the 1/3 Bayonet coupling. Ensure the keying W is aligned to prevent mis-mating and verify the seal integrity after installation.
The connector is rated for 7 A current at 250 V across three PCB contacts with a gold-plated mating interface. It supports UL and IEC standards, including 7 A ratings for UL, CSA, and IEC, and is designed for reliable operation within those electrical envelopes in harsh environments.
Yes. It carries IP68 sealing and resistance to oil, gasoline, and UV exposure, with an operating range from -40 °C to 105 °C. The design also withstands salt spray for up to 500 hours, making it well-suited for outdoor equipment, conveyors, and industrial automation exposed to washdown or weathering.
The product complies with UL 1977, IEC 61984, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with RoHS exemption 6.c. These certifications support regulatory compliance for safety and performance in multiple regions and industries, helping reduce risk during audits and supplier qualification.
