Make cable mounting a breeze with this circular connector from Belden Hirschmann. Its M8 connector size means it's a sure fit for standard devices. A built-in clamping cage provides strain relief, helping to stop the attached cable from cracking under pressure. As the gold-plated copper-tin alloy contacts are highly conductive and corrosion-resistant, you can count on this connector for reliable transmission in harsh settings.

• IP67 rating means it's dust-tight and protected against immersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes
• Self-extinguishing in 60 seconds or less for safety in the event of a fire

• Process control
• Assembly lines
• Factory automation

Yes. This unit has a broad operating temperature range between -25°C and +70°C, so it can handle the demands of challenging environments.
