Eaton UTSX7JC1492S Plastic Circular Bayonet - IP68/69K

IP68/69K sealing with a Sealing Gland backshell is a core feature of the UTSX7JC1492S, engineered for tough environments. This combination delivers robust ingress protection against water, dust, and repeated washdowns that plague outdoor machinery and factory floors. Engineers value predictable performance under vibration and temperature cycling, reducing unplanned downtime and spare-part consumption. In practice, the assembly is well suited for automation panels, material handling, and rugged control cabinets where reliability matters most. The 12-crimp female contacts across 12 cavities enable consistent harness design and high mating reliability. A jam nut receptacle secures the backshell and gland interface, simplifying field maintenance and cable strain relief. This arrangement supports rapid, tool-less assembly in tight spaces, which is a common requirement on conveyor lines and robotic cells. Combined with a plastic shell, it offers a lighter solution without sacrificing environmental protection or durability. The 1/3 bayonet coupling provides quick, positive mating with strong resistance to accidental unscrewing during operation. A straight backshell orientation (N) aligns with standard panel layouts, easing replacement in legacy automation installations. That compatibility reduces retrofit risk and lowers total cost of ownership when upgrading existing systems. Mating cycles rated at 250 ensure long service life even in high-cycle applications such as packaging lines. The connector's compact footprint—84 mm length, 30.2 mm width, and 30.2 mm height—minimizes harness bulk. Weighing only 35 g, it contributes to lighter assemblies, improved routing, and reduced handling during installation. Operating temperature from -40 °C to 105 °C covers most industrial climates, while RoHS compliance supports regulatory assurance. Salt spray resistance of 500 hours adds corrosion protection for coastal or chemically challenging environments. With 12 cavities and a jam nut receptacle design, the UTSX7JC1492S delivers reliable sensor and actuator connectivity in automation networks. Its compatibility with the Souriau UTSX series streamlines procurement, stocking, and field service across Eaton components. This connector supports durable automation deployments, reducing maintenance cycles. Sealing, easy installation, and long-life performance make it a strong choice for demanding industrial applications.
