Frequently Asked Questions
What cable outer diameter is compatible with this M8 field-wireable plug?
The integrated silicon seal and PA collet clamp accommodate circular cables with an outer jacket diameter between 3.0 mm and 5.0 mm, ensuring IP67 water ingress protection when tightened with the SW11 pressing nut.
Which pinout coding standards and electrical ratings are supported?
The connector complies with IEC 61076-2-104, providing 3 and 4 Pin A/D-code rated at 4A / 60V DC (1.0 mm contacts), 5 Pin B-code rated at 3A / 30V DC (1.0 mm contacts), and 6 and 8 Pin A-code rated at 1.5A / 30V DC (0.7 mm and 0.6 mm contacts).
What tools and soldering methods are required for field installation?
Termination requires standard manual iron soldering for wire conductor attachment to the internal solder pins, along with standard SW10.5 and SW11 open-end wrenches to secure the body and compress the rear pressing nut.
Overview and Application Notes
The M8 Circular Field Installation Plug is an industrial-grade straight male interconnect engineered for rapid on-site cable assembly and reliable sensor-actuator connectivity. Featuring an industry-standard M8x1 threaded coupling nut, robust PA housing, and an integrated silicon cable clamping seal, it provides dependable IP67 environmental sealing for automation field wiring across harsh operational environments.
Key Features
- Modular Coding & Contact Densities: Supports 3-Pin, 4-Pin, 5-Pin, 6-Pin, and 8-Pin configurations with standardized A-Code, B-Code, and D-Code keying options.
- Field-Serviceable Assembly: Built with internal solder cups and dual SW11 wrench flats on the housing and pressing nut for rapid, secure field termination.
- Precision Contact Performance: Machined gold-plated copper alloy terminals deliver 1.5A to 4A current capacity and up to 60V DC rated voltage with low contact resistance.
- IP67 Environmental Protection: Silicon cable gland seal and NBR internal O-ring ensure dust-tight and waterproof integrity for OD 3.0 mm to 5.0 mm cables.
- Standards Compliance: Fully compliant with IEC 61076-2-104 dimensional standards and RoHS environmental directives.
Engineering Specifications & PCB Integration
Designed for inline field installation, the plug accommodates single-ended or multi-core sensor cables ranging from Ø3.0 mm to Ø5.0 mm outer diameter. Internal contact terminals feature generous solder cups suited for manual iron soldering up to 24-28 AWG conductors. During final field assembly, the rear pressing nut should be tightened against the integrated SW10.5 and SW11 housing flats to achieve full mechanical strain relief and IP67 waterproof compression.
