Quick-disconnect cables from AutomationDirect, Cumming, GA, have a 3, 4 or 5-socket M8 female connector on one end and 3, 4 or 5 open leads on the other end that allow fast and easy connection between field devices and terminal connections. A “lock in place” nickel-plated brass or zinc coupling nut resists high levels of shock and vibration.
- The new 5-pole, M8 (Pico) cables are available with axial or right-angle female connectors and pigtail wiring in 1.5, 5 and 10M cable lengths. The cables’ black PUR (polyurethane) jackets are well-suited for oily, direct-sunlight, and robotic applications. These 5-pole cables are IP67 rated, UL and CSA approved, and come with a 1-yr. warranty.
- The 5-pole, 125V AC/DC, right-angle female M12 screw connectors are field wireable, IP67 rated once properly assembled, and accept various cable gauges and diameters. Their plastic housings are said to offer good resistance against chemicals and oils.
