Frequently Asked Questions
What are the panel cut-out dimensions and maximum panel thickness for this M8 panel mount connector?
This front-mount M8 device connector requires an 8.1mm (+0.1/-0mm) circular cut-out with a 7.2mm (+0.1/-0mm) anti-rotation flat edge, supporting a maximum panel thickness of 3.0mm.
How do the electrical ratings and contact sizes vary across the 3-pin to 8-pin M8 configurations?
The 3-pin (A-Code) and 4-pin (A/D-Code) versions use 1.0mm contacts rated at 4A and 60V DC; the 5-pin (B-Code) uses 1.0mm contacts rated at 3A and 30V DC; the 6-pin (0.7mm contacts) and 8-pin (0.6mm contacts) versions are rated at 1.5A and 30V DC.
What materials ensure EMI shielding and IP67 environmental sealing in this M8 PCB receptacle?
The connector utilizes a nickel-plated copper alloy shell for 360-degree EMI shielding, combined with a black NBR O-ring for panel sealing and black epoxy resin potting around the gold-plated copper alloy PCB solder pins to achieve IP67 waterproof protection under IEC 61076-2-104.
Which industrial protocols are supported by the A-Code, B-Code, and D-Code options?
A-Code (3/4/6/8-pin) supports standard DC power, proximity sensors, and multi-signal actuators; B-Code (5-pin) supports Profibus and DeviceNet fieldbus networks; D-Code (4-pin) is dedicated to 100 Mbps Industrial Ethernet and PROFINET communication.
Overview and Application Notes
This shielded M8 device connector plug features a male pin configuration engineered for front panel mount through-hole PCB solder termination. Compliant with IEC 61076-2-104 standards, it supports A-Code, B-Code, and D-Code orientations across 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 positions. The nickel-plated copper alloy housing, NBR O-ring seal, and black epoxy potting achieve IP67 waterproof protection in the locked mating state, ensuring stable signal and power transmission in harsh industrial automation environments.

Engineering Specifications & PCB Integration
Designed for rigid bulkhead integration, this M8 male receptacle requires a D-shaped anti-rotation panel cut-out of 8.1 mm (+0.1/-0 mm) diameter with a 7.2 mm (+0.1/-0 mm) flat edge, accommodating a maximum panel thickness of 3.0 mm. The connector body measures 17.5 mm in overall length with an M8x1.0 mating thread and an SW7.1 hex nut. Straight PCB solder pins extend 3.00 mm (with a 2.3 mm stepped lead section) for secure through-hole wave or hand soldering onto industrial sensor, actuator, and fieldbus circuit boards.
