Eaton UTS78E3S Receptacle - IP68/69K Waterproof Connector

IP68/69K sealing protects against dust, water and immersion, reducing field failures and downtime. The 3 female solder contacts use gold plating for low contact resistance and long life, improving signal integrity in noisy industrial environments. This mix of sealing and contact quality translates to fewer maintenance cycles and lower replacement costs while enabling reliable sensor and actuator connections in wet or oily settings. Quick mating is enabled by a 1/3 bayonet coupling combined with jam nut receptacle design, making panel mounting straightforward and vibration resistant. The design supports up to 250 mating cycles, which lowers replacement frequency for harsh environments and minimizes service interruptions for critical equipment installations. Combined with RoHS compliant materials, it supports green, global deployments. Operating temperature range from -40 to 105 C enables equipment to function in extreme climates without variant changes. The neoprene insert and plastic shell deliver light weight, chemical resistance and UV tolerance, supporting outdoor installations and long service life even under direct sunlight. These attributes translate to higher uptime and reduced total cost of ownership. Compatibility with the Souriau UTS family ensures supply chain continuity and easier spares management for OEMs and end users. The 3 cavities and 3 contacts per connector allow compact wiring harnesses while maintaining clear electrical separation and reliable solder cup termination. Certification and compliance support: UL 1977, IEC 61984, CSA-C22.2 No.182.3, and RoHS exemptions help meet global regulatory requirements, simplifying qualification for machinery and automation projects. The product's robust resistance to oils, solvents, and salt spray adds confidence in deployment across industrial plants, outdoor equipment, and portable machinery.
