Eaton UTSX714E18SX Plastic Bayonet Connector - IP68/69K
Part Number: UTSX714E18SX
Quick Summary
The Eaton UTSX714E18SX is a plastic circular bayonet connector used in rugged industrial wiring applications. Engineers often struggle with achieving reliable sealing, quick mating, and long-term durability in harsh environments. Key certifications and specs include IP68/69K sealing in unmated conditions and RoHS compliance, supporting harsh washdown and regulatory alignment. The Souriau UTSX series design blends compact geometry with robust contact performance, delivering high mating reliability and reduced field maintenance. This translates into faster assembly, lower lifecycle costs, and certified compatibility with common industrial cabling practices while supporting downstream integration of 18-socket configurations for scalable designs.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1) 18 contact solder cup configuration with gold flash plating provides low contact resistance and durable signal integrity in demanding environments, reducing replacement risk and enabling stable control feedback in automation panels. Application: servo drives and PLC I/O interfaces where precise, repeatable connections are crucial. 2) 1/3 bayonet coupling offers quick, tool-free mating and secure retention, cutting installation time by a predictable margin and minimizing downtime on production lines. Application: field-installed machine harnesses and detachable cable assemblies in conveyors. 3) IP68/69K sealing in unmated conditions delivers superior ingress protection during washdown and high-pressure environments, supporting reliable operation in food processing, beverage, and outdoor automation equipment. Application: outdoor sensor networks and washdown-ready control enclosures. 4) Plastic shell and small form factor (Shell size 14, 24.5 mm depth, 30.2 mm height) enable compact, lightweight harness solutions with easy routing and reduced enclosure footprint. Application: space-constrained robotics and compact control cabinets. 5) RoHS-compliant materials and gold-plated contacts ensure regulatory conformity and extended service life, reducing compliance risk and maintenance costs. Application: any industrial installation subject to environmental and substance restrictions. 6) 250 mating cycles indicate robust lifecycle performance, supporting predictable maintenance planning and total cost of ownership improvements. Application: long-term automation deployments in manufacturing cells and packaging lines.

FAQs
The UTSX714E18SX uses a jam nut receptacle with a 1/3 bayonet coupling for quick mating. Ensure the mating face and connector housing are clean, align the keying X orientation, and engage the bayonet lugs with a quarter-turn until secured. Without a backshell, seal integrity relies on proper enclosure gaskets and mating surface cleanliness to maintain IP68/69K ratings in unmated conditions.
This receptacle provides 18 contacts with gold-flash plating for low contact resistance, designed for solder cup termination. Expect reliable signal integrity across standard automation signals. The connector supports robust mating cycles (up to 250) and is suitable for harsh industrial environments, reducing contact failure risks in dynamic machine applications.
Yes. The IP68/69K rating in unmated conditions ensures protection against ingress during washdowns, while RoHS compliance aligns with environmental and regulatory requirements for food processing environments. Pairing with proper enclosure gaskets and correct mating alignment further enhances washdown resilience.
With 250 mating cycles, the UTSX714E18SX is designed for repetitive connect/disconnect scenarios typical in automation setups. Routine inspection should focus on contact cleanliness and mating surfaces; replace if wear or corrosion is observed. The gold flash contacts help sustain low contact resistance over time, supporting long-term reliability.
Applications include rugged control panels, conveyor and robotic systems, outdoor automation assets, and equipment requiring compact, sealed connections. The combination of 18 solder contacts, 1/3 bayonet coupling, RoHS compliance, and IP68/69K sealing supports reliable field installation, reduces maintenance intervals, and enables scalable harness designs for EOQ and spare-part planning.
