M8 connectors simplify safe signal transmission in sensor-actuator applications

Field-wireable M8 signal cable connectors from binder are able to support efficient and reliable installations in sensor and actuator applications.

Featuring snap-in quick locking and now offered with 3 to 6 pins they are suitable for industrial applications that require reliable signal transmission and are subject to installation space constraints.

binder is adding further straight overmoulded M8 snap-in connectors to the 718 product series. In addition to 3 and 4 pins, these are now also available in 5- and 6-pin versions. They are available with either PUR or PVC cables up to 2 m or 5 m standard length. Customised lengths can also be realised on request. Since the locking mechanism does not require any rotating elements, these connectors are particularly easy to handle and stand for high efficiency in use.

The M8 snap-in circular connectors of the 718 series meet the IP65 protection degree requirements when mated. Contacts are gold-plated brass for male and bronze for female contacts and these allow in excess of 50 mating cycles.

With rated voltages between 30 V and 60 V, the products are suitable for rated currents of 1.5 A to 3 A, depending on the wire gauge and number of pins: 3- and 4-pin versions are specified for 2 A (0.14 mm2 wire gauge) and for 4 A (0.25 mm2, 0.34 mm2, and AWG 22), respectively; 5- and 6-pin versions for 3 A and 1.5 A, respectively. They withstand rated impulse voltages of 1500 V (3- and 4-pin) and 800 V (5- and 6-pin).

All connectors in this series operate reliably at temperatures from -40 °C to +70 °C in static condition.
