Frequently Asked Questions
What are the current, voltage, and contact size ratings across the different M8 coding and pin configurations?
Compliant with IEC 61076-2-104, the 3-pin (A-Code) and 4-pin (A-Code and D-Code) models utilize Ø1.0mm gold-plated contacts rated for 4A and 60V DC. The 5-pin (B-Code) version uses Ø1.0mm contacts rated at 3A and 30V DC, while the high-density 6-pin (Ø0.7mm contacts) and 8-pin (Ø0.6mm contacts) A-Code models are rated for 1.5A at 30V DC.
What cable diameter range is compatible with this M8 field wireable solder connector?
The integrated polyamide (PA) cable clamp, pressing nut, and black silicone seal accommodate round industrial cables with an outer jacket diameter ranging from Ø3.0mm to Ø5.0mm, providing strain relief and IP67 environmental sealing.
How does this field-installable M8 female socket achieve IP67 waterproof protection?
The connector incorporates a dual-seal architecture featuring a black NBR O-ring at the M8x1 nickel-plated threaded mating interface and a black silicone elastomer compression seal at the rear cable entry, ensuring IP67 dust-tight and water-immersion protection across -40°C to +80°C when properly locked.
What tools and wrench sizes are required to assemble the M8 field wireable housing?
The connector body (~43mm length, Ø12mm diameter) is designed with SW11 and SW10.5 hexagonal flats on the polyamide shell and pressing nut for standard spanner tightening after soldering the wire conductors to the internal gold-plated copper alloy pins.
Overview and Application Notes
The M8 field wireable female socket connector is designed for on-site cable assembly, sensor-actuator field termination, and industrial Ethernet or control network maintenance. Featuring a straight in-line unshielded polyamide (PA) housing with solder termination pins and an M8x1 nickel-plated copper alloy threaded coupling nut, this connector achieves IP67 ingress protection when properly mated. Compliant with IEC 61076-2-104 standards, it supports field-installable cable outer diameters from Ø3.0mm to Ø5.0mm and is available in D-Code (4-Pin), A-Code (3, 4, 6, 8-Pin), and B-Code (5-Pin) configurations.
Key Features
- IEC 61076-2-104 Standard Compliance: Engineered to international circular connector dimensional and electrical specifications for seamless interoperability across industrial sensors, switches, and I/O boxes.
- Gold-Plated Copper Alloy Contacts: Equipped with precision Ø1.0mm gold-plated female contacts (for 3, 4, and 5-pin versions) rated up to 4A at 60V DC (3-pin/4-pin) and 3A at 30V DC (5-pin), alongside Ø0.7mm (6-pin) and Ø0.6mm (8-pin) contacts rated at 1.5A / 30V DC.
- IP67 Environmental Sealing: Integrated black NBR O-ring and black silicone elastomer cable seal coupled with a threaded PA pressing nut ensure dust-tight and waterproof protection in washdown and outdoor environments.
- Rugged Field-Installable Construction: Compact ~43mm overall length and Ø12mm maximum body diameter with SW11 / SW10.5 hex wrench flats for secure field assembly and strain relief on Ø3.0mm–5.0mm jacketed cables.

Engineering Specifications & Field Assembly Guidance
Designed for straight free-hanging (in-line) field installation, this M8 female connector utilizes solder terminals capable of accommodating stripped conductor leads within a compact Ø12mm x 43mm housing envelope. During field wiring, slide the PA pressing nut, cable clamp, and black silicone cable seal onto a Ø3.0mm to Ø5.0mm outer diameter cable prior to soldering the conductors to the gold-plated contacts. Tighten the main body and pressing nut using SW11 and SW10.5 spanners, and torque the M8x1 nickel-plated coupling nut to specification to compress the internal NBR O-ring and guarantee full IP67 sealing performance.
