Application Scenarios
-
Space-Constrained Sensor & Actuator Routing: 90-degree low-profile cable exit (~35.0mm x ~27.5mm) prevents sharp bend radii on machine frames and safety light curtains.
-
Industrial Fieldbus & Profibus Topologies: On-site assembly and maintenance of B-coded 5-pin sensor/actuator networks and distributed I/O blocks.
-
Automated Assembly & Packaging Lines: IP67 waterproof protection withstands splash zones, cutting fluids, and fine particulate ingress.
-
Robotic Arms & Gantry Systems: Compact Ø14.0mm body diameter and M8x1.0 threaded lock ensure secure mating under continuous multi-axis motion.
-
Industrial Vision & Compact Ethernet: Series variants in D-Code (4-Pin) and A-Code (8-Pin) support right-angle field termination for machine vision sensors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions and clearance benefits of the M8 B-Code 5-Pin right-angle female connector?
The M8 B-Code 5-Pin right-angle field installable socket features a 90-degree profile measuring approximately 35.0mm along the mating axis, 27.5mm in vertical height, and Ø14.0mm in maximum diameter. This right-angle orientation eliminates excessive cable bending stress when connecting to panel-mount M8 male receptacles inside shallow control cabinets or compact robotic tooling.
What are the electrical ratings for the 5-Pin B-Code M8 socket compared to other pin counts in the series?
Compliant with IEC 61076-2-104, the 5-Pin B-Code female socket utilizes 1.0mm gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 3A and 30V DC. Within the same right-angle housing series, 3-pin and 4-pin (A-Code/D-Code) configurations are rated at 4A and 60V DC, while high-density 6-pin (0.7mm contact) and 8-pin (0.6mm contact) A-Code models support 1.5A at 30V DC.
What cable outer diameter and wire termination type are supported by this M8 right-angle socket?
This connector uses internal solder cup pins for reliable field wire termination and accommodates round industrial cable jackets ranging from Ø3.0mm to Ø5.0mm. Strain relief and sealing are secured via a rear polyamide (PA) cable clamp, a black silicone seal, and an SW10.5 PA pressing nut.
How is IP67 ingress protection maintained on the M8 right-angle field wireable female connector?
The connector achieves IP67 dust-tight and waterproof sealing from -40°C to +80°C when properly locked via its nickel-plated copper alloy M8x1.0 threaded coupling nut. A black NBR O-ring seals the mating interface against the male receptacle, while the rear silicone gland compresses tightly around the 3.0–5.0mm cable jacket.
Overview and Application Notes
The M8 B-Code 5-Pin Female Field Installable Right-Angle Connector is an unshielded 90-degree circular metric socket engineered for space-constrained on-site sensor, actuator, and fieldbus cable assembly. Complying with the IEC 61076-2-104 standard, this free-hanging right-angle connector features a durable black polyamide (PA) housing, gold-plated solder cup terminations, and an IP67 waterproof sealing structure supporting cable outer diameters from 3.0mm to 5.0mm.
Key Features
- Standard & Coding: IEC 61076-2-104 compliant M8 B-Coding (5-Pin Female Sockets, 1.0mm contact diameter); series also available in A-Code (3, 4, 6, 8 Pin) and D-Code (4 Pin) configurations.
- Electrical Performance: Rated at 3A current and 30V DC operating voltage for the 5-Pin B-Code configuration (up to 4A / 60V DC for 3-Pin and 4-Pin models).
- Right-Angle Field Wireable Design: 90-degree cable exit profile (~35mm x ~27.5mm) prevents cable kinking in tight enclosures, paired with a rear compression gland (PA cable clamp, black silicone seal, and SW10.5 pressing nut) for Ø3.0mm to Ø5.0mm cables.
- Rugged Construction: Black PA housing and insulator paired with gold-plated copper alloy female contacts and a nickel-plated copper alloy M8x1.0 threaded coupling ring.
- Environmental Durability: IP67 dust-tight and waterproof protection in locked state, operating reliably from -40°C to +80°C across a minimum of 500 mating cycles.
Engineering Specifications & Field Assembly Guidance
Designed for right-angle field termination where vertical clearance is limited, this M8 female connector features a maximum body diameter of Ø14.0mm, a mating axis length of approximately 35.0mm, and a vertical cable exit height of approximately 27.5mm. Installers feed the stripped cable (Ø3.0–5.0mm) through the SW10.5 pressing nut, PA cable clamp, and black silicone seal before soldering the conductors to the internal solder cups. Tightening the housing and the nickel-plated copper alloy M8x1.0 coupling nut compresses the black NBR O-ring and rear silicone gland, establishing a vibration-resistant, IP67-sealed interconnect.
