Electrical 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/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.

Nano M8 Splitters

Reduce the number of cords needed to send and receive signals where space is tight—these splitters have an M8 plug and two M8 sockets, which are smaller than M12 plugs and sockets.

Nano M8/Micro M12 Adapters

Join M8 connections to M12 connections.

Nano M8 Adapters

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

Push-In Miniaturized Connectors

Push these connectors together to quickly create signal and data connections in tight spaces. All are smaller than M5 and M8 connectors. They also need less space to mate than screw-together connectors, which require two hands to twist them in place.

Quick-Connect Screw-Together Power Connectors

With thick knuckle threads similar to a light bulb, these connectors take only a few turns to lock into place for a secure connection in washdown and high-vibration areas. Detach them just as quickly for frequent maintenance.

Power Cords

Nano M8 Cords

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

Nano M8 Cord Splitters

Connect two devices to a distribution block or I/O module with just one cord. Often used with sensors and actuators, these splitters send power/signals to your devices through a single connection.

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.

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.
