Eaton UTS78E4SW Connector - IP68/69K Waterproof

IP68/69K sealing and rugged plastic housing deliver exceptional moisture and dust protection, reducing unplanned outages and extending equipment life in outdoor and washdown environments. Business impact: lower maintenance costs, improved uptime, and greater system availability in harsh industrial settings. Application: outdoor machinery, rail, marine, and outdoor automation where ingress protection is critical. 4 gold-plated solder cup contacts provide low-resistance connections and reliable signal integrity, enabling sustained operation at up to 7 A and across 250 mating cycles. By leveraging a 1/3 Bayonet coupling and W-keyed orientation, installation is quick, alignment is precise, and field rework is minimized. This reduces commissioning time and training needs on the shop floor. The jam-nut receptacle with aluminium nut and neoprene insert offers robust mechanical retention and environmental sealing, even under vibration and temperature cycling. Electrical performance remains consistent from -40 °C to 105 °C, supporting equipment that must endure extreme thermal swings. The 4-position layout simplifies wiring schemes, while IP68 protection ensures reliability in oil, gasoline, and UV-exposed environments. Typical use cases include mobile automation pallets, outdoor sensors in mining or construction, and rugged control panels. Certifications and RoHS compliance reinforce interoperability across regions, helping procurement maintain supplier diversity while meeting regulatory requirements. Industry-standard dimensions and mating geometry support compatibility with existing Souriau UTS housings, reducing redesign risk and enabling plug-and-play integration with minimal field modification.
