Eaton UTS78E33P UTS Series Plastic Waterproof IP68/69K Connector - IP68/69K

The sealed IP68 rating delivers reliable ingress protection in unmated conditions, reducing field failures and maintenance costs while enabling use in damp or oil-exposed environments. This translates to longer equipment uptime and lower spare-part inventory for critical lines and robotics applications. The 7 A current rating and 50 V IEC / 250 V UL/CSA voltage compatibility support common control-panel and automation wiring scenarios, improving predictability during design and commissioning. With three gold-plated solder cup contacts, the connector ensures low contact resistance and dependable signal integrity in vibration-prone equipment, while the 1/3 bayonet coupling speeds both mating and disconnection in tight spaces. The jam-nut receptacle, aluminum nut, and neoprene insert provide robust mechanical retention and weathering capability, reducing rework from misalignment or loosened connections. Its UV resistance, mineral oil and gasoline exposure tolerance, and salt-spray endurance (500 hours) extend life in industrial outdoors, mining, and agricultural environments. Mating cycles of 250 support recurring maintenance schedules without compromising seal integrity, yielding lower total cost of ownership. Compatibility with standard Souriau 3-cavity layouts and compatible harnesses simplifies procurement, stocking, and field installation. Accessory options are available separately to tailor backshell or cable-assembly configurations without sacrificing speed or reliability. The combination of plastic shell and aluminum nut provides a balanced weight-to-strength profile for portable or mounted equipment, improving handling and installation efficiency.
