M12 8 Pin A Coded Plug Molded Field Wireable Connector for Cable, Straight, Solder Cup
Introduction
This M12 8-Pin A-Coded Connector is a robust male plug designed for reliable sensor and actuator connectivity in industrial environments. Featuring a threaded coupling mechanism, it ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection with an IP67 rating for complete protection against dust and temporary immersion. The straight connector body is constructed from durable, nickel-plated brass, offering excellent corrosion resistance. Its field-wireable design with solder cup terminations allows for quick and easy cable assembly on-site without the need for specialized tooling.
The connector incorporates 8 gold-plated CuZn contacts within a solder cup termination interface, providing superior signal integrity and corrosion resistance. Rated for 30V and 2A, it is ideal for data and low-power applications. The A-coding guarantees proper mating with standard A-coded sockets, preventing mismating. With a wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C, this unshielded connector delivers consistent performance in demanding factory automation and process control settings.
