Eaton UTS78E2SWM12 IP68/69K Waterproof Receptacle
Part Number: UTS78E2SWM12
Quick Summary
The Eaton Souriau UTS78E2SWM12 is a plastic waterproof IP68/69K connector designed for harsh industrial environments. In rugged applications, moisture ingress, contamination, and field maintenance delays threaten uptime and increase service costs. It carries IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3 certifications, with ROHS exemption 6.c, helping satisfy global safety and environmental requirements. Its compact 2-contact design and 1/3 bayonet coupling simplify installation in tight enclosures, while the plastic shell and the absence of a backshell reduce parts handling and assembly time. This makes it a practical choice for automotive, robotics, and heavy machinery where reliable, sealed connections matter most.

IP68/IP69K sealing with a neoprene insert provides robust ingress protection, reducing moisture ingress risks and extending service life in outdoor or washdown environments. That translates into lower maintenance costs and fewer field repairs during harsh operation, such as on agricultural equipment or factory floors. The 2-contact, solder cup configuration, rated at 7 A and up to 250 V, enables compact power and signal paths for sensors and actuators while keeping harness complexity low. The 1/3 bayonet coupling and threaded receptacle design ensure secure mating and easy field assembly, cutting downtime during maintenance. With no backshell option, installation is simplified, reducing inventory and lifecycle costs. Operating from -40 to 105 °C and UV resistant, the unit tolerates extreme conditions without performance loss.

FAQs
The UTS78E2SWM12 is a threaded receptacle without a backshell, so install with an appropriate strain-relief or gland to protect the cable exit. Ensure proper mating alignment, maintain the IP68 seal through correct sealing components, and use compatible mating hardware to minimize ingress risk during field swaps and maintenance.
The connector features two solder cup contacts in a 2-position layout, with a current rating of 7 A and a test voltage up to 250 V (UL/CSA). It supports up to 250 mating cycles and uses a socket (female) contact configuration, making it suitable for compact sensor and actuator connections in industrial gear.
Yes. It is rated IP68 with unmated IP68/69K protection, UV resistant, and operates from -40 to 105 °C. Salt spray endurance and resistance to oil and chemicals also support use in harsh outdoor and washdown settings, reducing maintenance frequency and extending equipment life.
This connector complies with IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, with ROHS exemption 6.c. These certifications help ensure electrical safety, compatibility with industry wiring practices, and environmental compliance across global markets.
The 250 mating cycles and IP68/69K sealing minimize replacement frequency in demanding environments, while the absence of a backshell reduces parts and labor costs. The 2-pin, 7 A design supports reliable automation connections, lowering downtime and improving overall equipment uptime and return on investment.
