Worldwide Instrumentation Cable Supplier: M8 Circular Connectors
The M8 circular connectors are known for their miniature size and are smaller than an M12 connector, typically featuring a thread of 8mm. The connectors offer a reliable and secure connection, making them ideal for space-constrained wiring installations.
Our M8 circular connector applications include actuators, PLCs, I/O boxes, sensors, and switches for many industries such as food and beverage processing, machine building, rubber and plastics, textile and printing presses, and HVAC system valves.
The M8 connector configuration is male or female with various orientations available in straight, right angle, and open end, shielded and unshielded, various lengths, 22, 24, and 26 AWG, and a multiple number of pin positions such as 3, 4, 6, and 8.
Mueller Electric’s M8 instrumentation cable is overmolded and shielded or unshielded. Shielding consists of central conductors surrounded by a layer of insulation, while the cable is surrounded by a shield of braided metal or foil. Shielded cable is used to protect against interference from external electromagnetic fields generated by power lines, motors, and other electrical equipment. Cable shielding is used in applications where high levels of shielding are required to reduce the amount of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).
The M8 connector is offered in PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or PUR (Polyurethane cable materials. PVC is known for durability, flexibility, and resistance to water and chemicals making it suitable for a wide range of applications. PUR offers good resistance against abrasion, oil, and ozone. It is important to choose the right type of cable for a specific application to ensure that it can withstand the conditions it will be exposed to and provide reliable performance.
Mueller Electric’s M8 instrumentation cable complies with IEC 61076-2-101 Industry 4.0 and NEMA2000 standard. Our cables are RoHS 3 compliant and IP68 safety rated.
Mueller Electric’s M8 circular connectors improve safety, increase productivity, and cut downtime. Our standard M8 cables are made at our headquarters in Akron, OH USA and available in 5 to 10 days lead time.
