    Mil. Spec. Compatible Connectors

    Connectors secure with a quarter turn when mated, yet unlock and pull apart with minimal force. All have the same pin and socket configurations as MIL-DTL-26482, so they are compatible with other products that meet the same standard. They’re rated IP67 to protect against dust and temporary submersion. When mating connectors, the gender and housing lock location must be opposite. Poles are labeled with letters on the face of the connectors to ensure proper connection.

    EMI-Filtering IEC Connectors

    Bring power into electronic devices while protecting them from harmful electromagnetic interference (EMI). Often used to convey power from wall outlets, there’s no need to wire your devices to an external power source. Instead, wire these connectors into your device with the terminals on the back of each connector. All of these connectors are compatible with standard IEC power cords. When selecting a connector, make sure the current is at or slightly above the requirements of your device for the best EMI filtering performance.
    Some connectors accept a fuse (sold separately), which prevents short circuits and circuit overloads from damaging your device.

    M8 Connectors

    Use these compact connectors in spaces where M12 connectors won't fit. They're often used in crowded, high-vibration areas such as robot arms and IO-Link devices with many connections. They also fit on miniature proximity and photoelectric sensors.
