About Signal/Power Connectors

Nano M8 Connectors

Also known as pico connectors, these are for low-current devices such as 8 mm and smaller proximity switches and photoelectric switches.

Sockets and female receptacles may have extra holes on the face that are not used.

Connectors with a snap-on wire connection pierce the insulation to eliminate the need for wire stripping. They maintain a secure hold in high-vibration applications.

IP67 and IP68 rated connectors protect against washdowns.
