Eaton UTS78E3SWM12 Plastic Connector - IP68/69K

IP68/IP69K waterproofing is built into the UTS78E3SWM12 receptacle, delivering reliable sealing that minimizes ingress in unmated conditions. This reduces downtime and extends service life for equipment exposed to wash-downs and harsh weather; ideal for outdoor machinery, food processing lines, and agricultural automation. Three female solder contacts simplify field terminations, reducing wiring complexity and installation time while maintaining a robust electrical path. The compact 3‑contact design supports space-constrained panels and streamlined control wiring in robotics, conveyors, and packaging lines. A 7 A current rating with voltages up to 250 V (CSA/UL) and 32 V (IEC) accommodates common automation loads, delivering safe, predictable performance for sensors, actuators, and small drives without oversizing connectors. The 1/3 Bayonet coupling provides quick mating with strong retention, enabling faster maintenance cycles and fewer tool requirements on the factory floor. This is especially valuable in high‑throughput lines where every second counts and reliability matters. Operating from -40 °C to 105 °C extends usability across extreme climates and processes, from outdoor equipment to automotive testing rigs, reducing the need for multiple part numbers. Mating cycles rated at 250 support long service life in repetitive assembly or inspect/replace scenarios, lowering total cost of ownership. The neoprene insert and plastic shell keep weight light (7.4 g) while delivering chemical and UV resistance for demanding environments.
