Frequently Asked Questions
Is this M8 connector A-coded or B-coded?
According to the official engineering drawing (ME08AFXXA6BC01), this specific connector is A-coded with 4 pins, rated for 60V DC and 4A, specifically engineered for standard industrial sensors, actuators, and DC low-voltage signal/power distribution.
What cable outer diameter (OD) and wire gauge does this solder socket support?
This field-wireable socket accommodates standard flexible sensor cables with an outer diameter ranging from 3.0 mm to 5.0 mm and supports wire conductors up to 24 AWG (0.25 mm²).
Why use straight solder pins instead of screw terminals for field assembly?
Solder cup terminals offer a significantly more compact internal housing profile for space-constrained M8 bodies while providing superior gas-tight solder joint reliability and vibration resistance (rated for ≥500 mating cycles) in demanding equipment environments.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and sample lead time?
Our standard MOQ for field-wireable connectors is 100 pieces. Samples can be prepared and dispatched within 3 to 5 business days, with mass production lead times typically between 2 and 3 weeks.
Can your factory supply custom pre-molded M8 cables based on this drawing?
Yes. In addition to field-wireable sockets, EDOM Electronics manufactures custom overmolded M8 A-coded cable assemblies with specified lengths, jacket materials (PVC, PUR, or LSZH), and custom pinouts for OEM buyers.
Overview and Application Notes
Overview: Engineered for industrial sensor networks and factory automation, the ME08AFXXA6BC01 is an IP67-rated M8 A-coded 4-pin female field wireable connector featuring straight solder cup terminals. Designed for reliable on-site wire termination, this field-installable socket combines a durable nickel-plated copper alloy coupling nut with high-conductivity gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure stable signal and 60V/4A power transmission. Fully compliant with IEC 61076-2-104 standards and rated for over 500 mating cycles, it provides OEM/ODM automation equipment builders with a robust, vibration-resistant, and moisture-proof interconnect solution. Manufactured in our ISO-certified facility, every unit undergoes strict quality control to guarantee long-term operational endurance in demanding industrial environments.
Application Notes:
-
Keyway Alignment: Verify the A-coded mechanical keyway orientation before mating to ensure seamless connection with standard M8 4-pin sensor plugs and panel receptacles.
-
Soldering Technique: Apply precise soldering temperatures to the straight solder cups and use heat-shrink tubing over individual conductor joints to prevent short circuits inside the housing.
-
Gland Sealing & Cable OD: Select round flexible cables matching the internal rubber grommet outer diameter (OD range 3.0mm to 5.0mm) to achieve complete IP67 ingress protection.
-
Strain Relief Tightening: Ensure the rear pressure nut is fully torqued during field assembly to secure the internal seal against cable pulling and twisting forces.
