Eaton UTS78E2SXM12 Receptacle - IP68/69K Waterproof

IP68/IP69K sealing and a plastic threaded receptacle protect against water, dust, and washdown, reducing corrosion risk in harsh environments, translating into lower maintenance costs and longer service intervals. The neoprene insert, two solder-contact sockets, and X-keying provide a robust, moisture-resistant interface that tolerates vibrations common in automation equipment. This configuration is ideal for rugged sensors and actuators on conveyors, robotic arms, and packaging lines, delivering predictable performance in hostile surroundings. Two solder-cup contacts arranged in a compact 2-position layout support reliable, low-resistance terminations with a 7 A current rating. The available test voltages—32 V IEC and 250 V UL/CSA—cover low- to mid-power control circuits and signal paths, while the 250 mating cycles indicate long service life in frequent connect/disconnect scenarios. The 21.3 mm depth and 24 mm width enable easy routing in crowded control cabinets without sacrificing seal integrity. 1/3 bayonet coupling delivers fast, repeatable mating with solid retention, which is essential in vibration-prone machinery. The threaded receptacle design and lack of a backshell simplify installation in tight spaces and reduce accessory costs. With a 2-contact layout in a compact shell (shell size 8), technicians can achieve clean, reliable field terminations using standard tools, streamlining maintenance and reducing downtime. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 105 °C, and the assembly uses a Neoprene insert and plastic shell designed for UV exposure and environmental resistance. The unit tolerates exposure to mineral oil, basic bath, and oil, with proven UV resistance and five-year natural-environment durability, making it well-suited for outdoor industrial, agricultural, and marine applications. Compliance includes UL 1977, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, IEC 61984, and RoHS exemption 6.c, supporting global safety and environmental standards. With no backshell option, compact form factor, and a proven 250 mating-cycle life, this connector reduces total cost of ownership by simplifying sourcing, spares, and maintenance planning for automation projects in harsh environments.
