Frequently Asked Questions
What are the panel cutout dimensions and maximum panel thickness for this M8 PCB receptacle?
This M8 panel mount female connector requires a D-shaped anti-rotation panel cutout with a diameter of 10.1mm (+0.1/-0mm) and a flat edge height of 9.1mm (+0.1/-0mm). It supports enclosure wall thicknesses up to 4.5mm Max and is secured using a nickel-plated M10x0.75 hex nut with a SW9mm wrench.
What are the key PCB layout dimensions for the right-angle solder pins?
The connector features a 12.5mm (±0.1mm) center height from the horizontal reference plane to the M8 mating axis, with vertical pin row offsets at 8.20mm and 10.20mm from the panel flange reference. The through-hole solder tails have a length of 3.0mm and an overall vertical drop of 15.4mm to accommodate standard industrial PCB thicknesses.
How do the electrical ratings vary across the 3-Pin to 8-Pin coding options in this series?
Designed per IEC 61076-2-104, the 3-Pin A-Code and 4-Pin A/D-Code models utilize 1.0mm gold-plated contacts rated at 4A and 60V DC. The 5-Pin B-Code variant (1.0mm contacts) is rated at 3A and 30V DC, while high-density 6-Pin (0.7mm contacts) and 8-Pin (0.6mm contacts) A-Code models are rated at 1.5A and 30V DC.
Overview and Application Notes
The M8 Right Angle Panel Mount Female Socket Connector is a precision circular device receptacle designed for direct printed circuit board (PCB) integration in industrial automation and sensor housings. Manufactured in strict compliance with IEC 61076-2-104 standards, this bulkhead connector supports A-Code 3-Pin (4A, 60V DC) primary configurations alongside A-Code (4, 6, 8-Pin), B-Code (5-Pin), and D-Code (4-Pin) variants. It features a nickel-plated copper alloy shell with an M8x1.0 mating interface, an M10x0.75 panel mounting thread, and 90-degree bent gold-plated PCB solder pins, providing reliable IP67 waterproof sealing for compact industrial enclosures.
Key Features
- Multi-Coding & Pin Configurations: Standard A-Code 3-Pin (4A, 60V DC) configuration, with full series options for A-Code (4, 6, 8-Pin), B-Code (5-Pin), and D-Code (4-Pin) industrial interfaces.
- Right-Angle PCB Termination: 90-degree through-hole solder pins with a 12.5mm±0.1mm board-to-center height and 3.0mm solder tail length for horizontal board layouts.
- Anti-Rotation Panel Mounting: Features an M10x0.75 mounting thread with a D-flat anti-rotation cutout (Ø10.1mm +0.1/-0mm, flat height 9.1mm +0.1/-0mm) and a SW9 hex locking nut for maximum panel thicknesses up to 4.5mm.
- Robust Material & Sealing: Constructed with a nickel-plated copper alloy threaded shell, black polyamide (PA) insulator, gold-plated copper alloy contacts, and dual black NBR O-rings for IP67 ingress protection.
- Industrial Durability: Rated for at least 500 mating cycles across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C with full RoHS compliance.
Engineering Specifications & PCB Integration
For enclosure integration, machine a D-shaped anti-rotation panel cutout measuring Ø10.1mm (+0.1/-0mm) with a flat side dimension of 9.1mm (+0.1/-0mm), accommodating a maximum panel wall thickness of 4.5mm. Insert the connector body through the panel opening so the flange O-ring seats firmly against the enclosure surface, and secure it using the M10x0.75 nickel-plated nut (SW9mm hex wrench). Align the right-angle solder tails (8.20mm / 10.20mm row spacing from the front reference, 15.4mm overall pin drop, and 3.0mm tail length) into the PCB through-holes before wave or manual soldering.
