Eaton UTSX7JC1412SW Plastic Bayonet Connector - IP68

12‑cavity layout in the UTSX7JC1412SW enables a compact 12‑pole interface while preserving signal integrity. This layout reduces harness length and wiring complexity, speeding assembly and improving mating reliability in panel‑mounted applications. It’s well suited for factory automation, robotics, and packaging lines where space is at a premium. IP68/IP69K sealing combined with RoHS compliance protects internal contacts from water, dust, and chemicals, minimizing unplanned downtime. The result is longer service life and lower maintenance costs in food processing, beverage, and outdoor equipment environments. This compatibility with washdown cycles makes it easier to meet industry standards while maintaining performance. Jam Nut Receptacle with a Sealing Gland backshell provides secure mechanical retention and reliable strain relief. Straight backshell orientation simplifies panel mounting and cable routing, reducing installation time and field errors. This setup is especially beneficial in rugged equipment, conveyors, and outdoor machinery where robust sealing is critical. Operating temperature range of -40 to 105 °C and 250 mating cycles demonstrate durability across cold starts and hot operation with repeated connections. Designers gain confidence in long life under vibration, temperature swings, and chemical exposure, which lowers replacement cycles and supports predictive maintenance strategies. Suitable for conveyors, process lines, and heavy equipment in challenging environments. Lightweight plastic shell with a 14 size keeps weight and cost down without sacrificing reliability. Crimp contacts and a 12‑contact layout align with standard industrial tooling, enabling straightforward procurement and onboarding. This makes it attractive for both new builds and retrofit projects where reliability and procurement efficiency matter. Compatibility and installation advantages include delivery with connector, flexible back shell options, and a 1/3 bayonet coupling that speeds mating. The W orientation and straight backshell simplify harness routing and reduce misalignment risk, while the 12‑cavity arrangement supports scalable installations across multiple machines.
