Product catalog summary

Overview

This document provides comprehensive technical specifications and descriptions of electrical connectors used for sensors and transducers in industrial automation. It focuses on M8 and M12 connector types, detailing cable materials, configurations, protection ratings, wiring options, and accessories.

1. Connector Types and Descriptions

The primary connector types covered are M8 and M12, available in female and male versions. These connectors come with molded cables or as wired/soldered variants to support flexible installation needs.

M8 Connectors: Female and male versions with molded PVC or PUR cables, offered in straight (180°) or angled (90°) configurations.
M12 Connectors: Female connectors with molded PVC or PUR cables, including shielded options, available in straight and angled forms.
Extension Cables: M8 male-female extensions with molded cables in straight and angled versions.
Wired and Soldered Connectors: M8 connectors designed for wiring or soldering with screw or solder connections.

2. Cable and Connector Specifications

Key technical parameters include:

Protection Rating: Most connectors meet IP69K standards, ensuring high resistance to dust, water jets, and harsh industrial environments.
Cable Materials: PVC (per CEI2022) and PUR (including UL Style 21576) cables provide flexibility and durability, with PUR offering enhanced chemical and abrasion resistance.
Lead Cross Section: Ranges from 0.14 mm² (AWG 26) to 0.34 mm² (AWG 22), depending on connector type and application.
Number of Leads: Connectors support 2 to 8 leads to accommodate various sensor wiring requirements.
Operating Temperature: Typically from -25°C to +75°C, with some M12 connectors rated up to +90°C.
Cable Lengths: Standard lengths include 2.5 m, 5 m, and 10 m, with some variations.
Dimensions: M8 connectors have approximately 10 mm diameter; M12 connectors about 14 mm diameter, with detailed thread sizes (M8x1, M12x1) specified.

3. Pin Configuration and Wiring

Pin assignments follow standardized color codes and functions for ease of installation and compatibility:

Common Pin Colors: Brown (BN+) for positive, Blue (BU-) for negative, Black (BK) for output, White (WH) for additional outputs, and other colors (Green, Yellow, Grey, Pink, Red) for multi-lead connectors.
Pin Functions: Include power supply, output signals, and not connected (N.C.) pins as applicable.

4. Protection and Durability

Connectors are designed to meet IP67 or IP69K protection classes, ensuring resistance to water jets, dust, and mechanical stress. PUR cables provide superior chemical and abrasion resistance compared to PVC, making them suitable for more demanding environments.

5. Applications and Recommendations

These connectors are intended for sensor and transducer connections in industrial automation systems such as rotary units, quick changers, linear actuators, grippers, and robot kits. Selection of cable material and connector type should consider environmental exposure, mechanical stress, and required cable length.

6. Summary of Critical Parameters

Connector Type	Cable Material	Lead Cross Section (mm²)	Number of Leads	Protection Rating	Operating Temp (°C)	Cable Length (m)
M8 Female with PVC	PVC (CEI2022)	0.25 (AWG 24)	3	IP69K	-25 to 75	2.5
M8 Female with PUR	PUR (UL Style 21576)	0.25 (AWG 24)	3	IP69K	-25 to 75	2.5
M8 Female with PUR (8 leads)	PUR (CEI2022)	0.14 (AWG 26)	8	IP69K	-25 to 75	5
M12 Female with PVC	PVC (CEI2022)	0.25 - 0.34 (AWG 22-24)	3-4	IP69K	-25 to 75	2.5 - 10
M12 Female with PUR (shielded)	PUR	0.25 (AWG 24)	5-8	IP69K	-25 to 75	2.5 - 5

7. Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics

Rated Voltage and Current: M8 connectors typically rated at 30 V AC/DC and 2 A; M12 connectors rated up to 60 V AC/DC and 4 A.
Contact Materials: Phosphor bronze contacts with gold-plated nickel treatment (+0.45 μm) for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity.
Case Materials: Polyamide (PA66) with 30% fiberglass reinforcement for durability and mechanical strength.
Dimensions: Detailed dimensions including thread sizes (M8x1, M12x1), diameters, and lengths ensure compatibility with equipment.

8. Additional Components and Accessories

The document references accessories such as rotary units, quick changers, profiles and holders, suspensions, linear actuators, grippers, nippers, robot kits, and sensor options, indicating a broad product ecosystem supporting automation solutions.

9. Good Practices

Select cable material based on environmental conditions: PUR for chemical and abrasion resistance, PVC for general applications.
Verify connector angle (straight or angled) to fit installation space constraints.
Ensure correct pin configuration to match sensor wiring requirements.
Use connectors with appropriate IP rating for exposure to dust and water.
Consider cable length carefully to avoid excess slack or tension.

Conclusion

This document serves as a detailed technical reference for selecting and specifying electrical connectors for sensors and transducers in industrial automation. It highlights critical parameters such as protection ratings, cable materials, wiring configurations, and connector types to ensure reliable, durable connections in demanding industrial environments.
