Phoenix Contact Circular Connector, 3 Contacts, Cable Mount, M8 Connector, Plug, Male, IP68, SACC Series

From Phoenix Contact, a range of cable mount field connectors with a high degree of protection. The sensor style connectors have an M8 threaded interface and industry standard A coding preventing miss-mating. The re-wireable connectors are available with classic screw termination or with Piercecon termination for rapid field installation. With an IP68 ingress rating, the Phoenix M8 field connectors are ideally suited to harsh environments that demand a higher level of protection. Resistant to shock and vibration these rugged circular connectors are ideal for maintenance, repair and the construction of customized cable assemblies.

Flexibly packed M8 connector

Piercecon technology is a revolutionary connection method for rapid termination. Piercecon provides maximum contact density for connections where installation space it tight. The contact is made via a contact pin which pierces the single wires axially.

This hardwearing cable mount connector from Phoenix Contact is used to link sensors and actuators for data and power signal transmission. It has a modular design that makes it easy to assemble and dismantle in the field. The connector's three contacts are made of brass, which has superior conductive properties for a reliable connection. These contacts are plated in gold for improved corrosion resistance so they won't decay through rusting.
With a voltage rating of 60V and a current rating of 4A, this cable is suitable for medium-power applications. As part of the trusted Phoenix Contact range, it's been rigorously tested for safety and consistency by engineers. It also conforms to the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, meaning it contains only trace levels of hazardous substances. You'll find connectors like this one used in industrial automation, process control and instrumentation applications.

• Ingress protection (IP) rating of IP68 for total dust protection and to withstand immersion in up to 3m of water
• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C and +85°C for use in harsh environments
• Standard M8 connector for wide compatibility
