Connectors

Nano M8 Connectors

Also known as pico connectors, these connectors are often used with 8 mm and smaller proximity switches and photoelectric switches.

Nano M8 Adapters

Connect different pole configurations to join sensors, switches, and other devices to cords, distribution blocks, and I/O modules.

Harsh Environment Nano M8 Connectors

A TPE cable protects these connectors from oil, weld slag, and other tough industrial stresses as they send signal and power to low-current devices with M8 connections.

Status-Indicating Nano M8 Connectors

Visually check that your low-current devices with M8 connections are powered up and sending and receiving signals. These connectors illuminate green if they have power and yellow if they have signal.

Sanitary Nano M8 Connectors

Send signal and power to low-current devices with M8 connections in food processing and other sanitary applications.

Shielded Nano M8 Connectors

Minimize signal loss between low-current devices with M8 connections.

Nano M8/Micro M12 Splitters

Join two devices with M8 connectors to a single cord, distribution block, or I/O module with M12 connectors to save space and reduce the number of cords in industrial automation setups. Often used with sensors and switches, these splitters send or receive two signals through one connection.

M8 Ethernet Connectors

A threaded M8 end on these connectors keeps contaminants out and withstands vibration better than RJ45 ends on traditional Ethernet cords.

Cords

Nano M8 Cords

Also known as pico cords, these cords are often used with low-current 8 mm proximity and photoelectric switches.

Harsh Environment Nano M8 Cords

Send signal and power to low-current devices with M8 connections near welding, metal machining, and in spots where temperatures change.

Nano M8/Micro M12 Adapter Cords

These cords have an M8 connector on one end and an M12 connector on the other.

Nano M8/USB Adapter Cords

These cords have a Nano M8 connector (also known as a pico connector) on one end and an USB Type-A connector on the other.

Distribution Blocks for Nano M8 and Micro M12 Cords

Connect multiple M8 and M12 cords to create a network between equipment. These blocks are often used to send signal and power to proximity switches and sensors.

Ethernet Cords with M8 and RJ45 Connectors

Send high-speed data between sensors, switches, or I/O modules with an M8 connection and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and computers with a traditional RJ45 connection.

Ethernet Cords with M8 Connectors

Unlike the RJ45 ends on traditional Ethernet cords, the threaded M8 ends on these cords keep contaminants out and resist coming loose from vibration.

Lifting and Pulling

Electrical Connectors for Schunk Grippers

Change the M8 8-pin connection on your Schunk gripper to wire leads for hardwiring robots that don’t have an M8 8-pin connection.

Robot-Ready Electric Vacuum Lifters

Connect these lifters to your robot arm to pick up and move items using suction. They're electric, so you don't need a compressed air source.

Robot-Ready Vacuum Lifters

With robot tool mounts and connectors, these vacuum lifters come ready to attach to robot arms with standard ISO mounting hole patterns.
