Frequently Asked Questions
What are the recommended panel cutout dimensions for this M8 receptacle?
The recommended panel opening utilizes an anti-rotation flat-edge profile measuring 10.1 mm (+0.1/-0 mm) across the flat by 11.1 mm (±0.1 mm) diameter, supporting front-mount bulkheads up to 4.5 mm maximum panel thickness.
Which contact ratings and pinout configurations are supported by this M8 PCB socket?
The socket supports 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 pin layouts in compliance with IEC 61076-2-104, featuring gold-plated contacts with ratings of 4A / 60V DC for 3 and 4 Pin (1.0 mm pins), 3A / 30V DC for 5 Pin B-Code (1.0 mm pins), and 1.5A / 30V DC for 6 and 8 Pin (0.7 mm and 0.6 mm pins).
What sealing mechanism ensures IP67 waterproof reliability in industrial environments?
Environmental sealing is established via integrated dual NBR black O-rings positioned along the M11x1 mounting thread and front bulkhead flange, providing an IP67 water and dust-tight seal when properly torqued with the SW13/SW14 fastening nut.
Overview and Application Notes
The M8 Circular Panel Front Mount Socket is an industrial-grade female receptacle engineered for direct PCB solder pin termination and secure front-panel bulkhead integration. Featuring an M8x1 mating thread and an M11x1 chassis mounting interface, this compact receptacle provides robust IP67 ingress protection and reliable board-level power and signal routing in tight automation enclosures.
Key Features
- Modular Pin Count Configurations: Available in 3-Pin, 4-Pin, 5-Pin, 6-Pin, and 8-Pin variants with standardized A-Code, B-Code, and D-Code keying options.
- Panel-to-Board Mechanical Stability: Designed with front bulkhead mounting, integrated SW10/SW13/SW14 wrench flats, and dual NBR O-rings for hermetic chassis sealing.
- High-Conductivity Contacts: Precision-machined gold-plated copper alloy terminals support 1.5A to 4A current capacities and up to 60V DC operation.
- Harsh Environment Durability: Rated for over 500 mating cycles across an extended operating temperature window of -40°C to +80°C.
- Standardized Compliance: Fully compliant with IEC 61076-2-104 and RoHS environmental safety mandates.
Engineering Specifications & PCB Integration
Designed for streamlined panel and board integration, the connector requires a standard panel cutout with a flat-edge anti-rotation profile (10.1 +0.1/-0 mm width by Ø11.1 ±0.1 mm diameter) accommodating a maximum panel thickness of 4.5 mm. The female solder pins extend 3.0 mm from the base for secure through-hole wave or selective soldering directly into industrial carrier boards.
