Eaton UTS78E2P Receptacle Connector - IP68/69K
Part Number: UTS78E2P
Quick Summary
The Eaton Souriau UTS78E2P plastic waterproof IP68/69K receptacle connector is designed for rugged outdoor and mobile equipment, delivering reliable sealing and electrical performance. Engineers often struggle with maintaining integrity under vibration, wide temperature swings, and tight installation spaces, which can lead to field failures; this compact solution helps mitigate that risk. It carries IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 compliances, with RoHS exemption 6.c support for materials, providing regulatory peace of mind. The two-pin jam-nut receptacle uses gold-plated solder cup contacts and a 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick, secure mating. As part of the Souriau UTS family, it supports standard installation practices and easy accessory sourcing, driving faster assembly and lower maintenance costs.

IP68/IP69K protection and corrosion-resistant plastic housing prevent ingress in harsh field environments, reducing downtime and service visits for outdoor and mobile machinery. This translates into higher equipment uptime and lower total cost of ownership in demanding applications such as outdoor packaging lines and construction-site machinery. The two-position, two-contact arrangement with gold-plated solder cups ensures reliable current delivery and signal integrity even under vibration, supporting consistent performance for controls and sensors in heavy equipment. The 1/3 bayonet coupling paired with a jam-nut receptacle enables fast, tool-friendly mating and secure retention in constrained spaces, reducing installation time and the risk of misalignment. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C with a 7 A / 250 V rating covers most industrial automation needs while maintaining safety margins. The insert is neoprene, and the shell is plastic with an aluminum nut, providing robust thermal and mechanical resilience. With 250 mating cycles and UV resistance, the solution supports long service life in fluctuating environments, minimizing replacement cycles and maintenance costs. Compliance with RoHS exemption 6.c, IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 reinforces regulatory alignment and supplier confidence in quality.
