What is M8 sensor connector?

The M8 connector is dedicated to industrial sensors and is equipped with a waterproof 3-pin screw. M8 connector is waterproof, oil-resistant, cold-resistant, stable performance, efficient and fast connection, and is widely used in photoelectric switches, proximity switches, sensors and various industrial wiring systems.

The M8 connector is also known as the sensor connector. It is divided into cables with and without cables. The outlets are 4-6 and 6-10. The cable lengths with cables are 1 meter, 2 meters, 5 meters and 10 meters.

M8 connector has pin type and hole type, screw connection, shell protection grade IP67, and also divided into straight and elbow

M8 connectors have been widely used in outdoor light boxes, construction machinery, steel production equipment, power equipment, mining machinery, ship machinery, automotive equipment, production automatic equipment, temperature sensors, hydraulic machine tools, sensors, solenoid valves, instrumentation, pressure transmission Etc.

The M8 cable connector is easy to install and complies with DIN EN 61076-2-104. The protection level is IP65/67. There are 360° shielded unshielded and shielded versions. The diaphragm spring and shielding ring ensure reliable EMC shielding. The rated current is 1A to 4A, and the rated voltage is 30V to 60V, depending on the number of contacts. There are solder and screw terminals. Flange connectors have welded and dip welded connections or stranded wires.
