Product Overview:
Our M8 circular connectors and cables are designed to fulfill the ever-growing demand for sensor, actuator and data connections in process control, industrial machinery, and factory automation applications. These compact sensor and automation connectors with quick screw lock coupling are mechanically and chemically robust, easy to install, minimize downtime and help to increase production efficiency.
M8 Cord sets and Patch cords provide secure connections for high pin count field devices using M8 style connectors. Featuring an integral male connector on one end and flying leads on the other, cordsets provide fast and simple connectivity between field devices and terminal connections. Patch cords have a cable with integral connector at each end (one male, one female) and are an efficient way to couple connector-based field devices.
Features
- M8,6 pin, A Code, Single Ended Cable, Male, Straight, Soldering, Non-Shielded ,thread locking mechanism, 8mm threaded joint.
- Size: The “M8” designation refers to the outer diameter of the connector, which is approximately 8 millimeters. It is a compact connector suitable for applications where space is limited.
- Signal or Power Transmission: The M8 6-pin circular connector can be used for both signal and power transmission, depending on the specific application. The number of pins determines the available connections for carrying signals or power.
- Anti-vibration locking design.
- Locking Mechanism: This connector type often includes a threaded locking mechanism that ensures a secure and reliable connection. The threaded coupling nut allows for easy mating and prevents accidental disconnection caused by vibration or pulling on the cable.
