Minimize signal loss between low-current devices with M8 connections. The shielding on these connectors reduces signal interference from nearby devices, such as motors and speed controls. Also known as pico connectors, M8 connectors are often used with 8 mm and smaller proximity switches and photoelectric switches.

Receptacles thread into panels and walls, so they work well in stationary or permanent installations.

Connectors with screw terminals hold wire by tightening a screw, so you don’t need to use soldering irons or crimpers.

IP or NEMA rated when mated, all seal out dust. IP66K rated connectors protect against high-pressure washdowns. IP67 rated connectors seal out water from temporary submersion. IP68 rated connectors withstand submersion. NEMA 6P rated connectors protect against weather, washdowns, corrosion, and submersion.

Protect against signal interference while sending 2-3 times more current than M12 connectors. These mini connectors have a braided shielding, which blocks interference from nearby devices for a reliable signal. Because they carry a high current, they are often used with automated systems, motors, and pumps. A threaded housing securely mates with other mini connectors and won’t come loose from shaking or vibration. They have a standard pole layout and housing thread size to reduce the chance you’ll mis-mate connectors.

When mated, these connectors meet IP68 and NEMA 6P for protection against dust, submersion, washdowns, and weather.

Caps protect connectors and maintain their IP and NEMA ratings when not in use.

Thread Adapters connect plugs and sockets that both have internal threads.

Assemble DB and HD connectors to replace worn out connectors.

Shielded connectors prevent electromagnetic interference.

Connectors with a terminal block wire connection have a contact point inside each hole to create a connection without the need for solder or crimping tools.

Connectors with wire leads come with cable already attached. Each wire lead is a separate color for easy identification and they are labeled with the pin that they are connected to. Those with DB9, DB15, and DB25 connections are RS-232, so they transmit data between computers and equipment. The thumb screws on these connectors have slots so they can be tightened with a screwdriver in tight spaces.

90° elbow connectors sit flush against equipment to fit in tight spaces.

Crimpers (sold separately) are required for wire installation for crimp-on connectors. They ratchet to ensure the correct pressure is applied to every crimp.

Use extraction tools (sold separately) to remove the pins after crimping.

Add ix Industrial connections to printed circuit boards (PCBs). These connectors have a small profile—use them on smaller equipment or to create multiple connection points in a small space. They have metal locking tabs, which are less likely to break off than plastic ones. All are shielded to block interference from nearby devices. These connectors meet Canadian electrical standards and UL data transmission standards. They’re compatible with ix Industrial plugs that meet IEC 61076-3-124.

Choose A-coded connectors as an alternative to RJ45 and M12 Ethernet connectors.

Choose B-coded connectors for signaling applications such as linking a servomotor and encoder. They’re also an alternative to D-sub connectors.

The threaded ends on these cords seal out contaminants and resist coming loose from vibration in tough industrial environments and automated systems while sending power and signal to devices with M12 connections. Poles and keyways on the connector face adhere to standard coding layouts, reducing the chance of mismatching connections during setup.

A-coded cords work with AC and DC sensors, actuators, motors, light curtains, and other devices. They’re also often used to connect equipment to IO Link controllers and within Profibus, DeviceNet, and other fieldbus systems.

Cords with PVC insulation work well in general purpose applications, but they shouldn’t be used outdoors. While flexible, these cords aren’t as flexible as cords with polyurethane or TPE insulation, making them best for stationary jobs. Cords with polyurethane or TPE insulation resist chemicals and sunlight, so you can use them outdoors. Because they stand up to bending, they’re good for jobs with continuous motion, such as robotics. Polyurethane also resists oil and is halogen free, which can corrode metal and is dangerous to inhale. Double-shielded cords have layers of braid and foil that block signal interference from nearby devices, reducing the chance of signal loss between equipment.

Cords with a 90° elbow run along the side of equipment, so they fit behind machines and in tight spaces.

When mated, the connectors are IP rated to block out dust and water if briefly submersed. IP65 rated connectors can be lightly rinsed. IP66K rated connectors can be sprayed down during high-pressure washdowns.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

Step on or roll carts and platform trucks over these M12 cords without crushing them. A protective layer of stainless steel makes these the most crush- and abrasion-resistant M12 cords we offer. It also prevents damage from pests that chew through cords. The stainless steel and PVC outer layer keep moisture from corroding the cord, so they can be used outdoors and near chemicals as well. Despite the stainless steel covering, these cords are still flexible enough to route around equipment. Threaded ends create a tight connection that seals out contaminants and won’t shake loose from the vibration of automated machines.

These cords have a standardized code layout to reduce the chances of accidentally mis-mating them. All are A-coded to send signal and power to AC and DC devices. A-coded cords are often used with sensors, actuators, and motors in automated systems. They also connect devices to IO Link controllers and within fieldbus systems, such as Profibus and DeviceNet.

When mated or capped, these cords meet IP ratings. IP67 cords withstand temporary submersion. IP69 cords are protected from dust and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

Note: Sockets may have extra holes on the face that are not used.
