Minimize signal loss between low-current devices with M8 connections. The shielding on these connectors reduces signal interference from nearby devices, such as motors and speed controls. Also known as pico connectors, M8 connectors are often used with 8 mm and smaller proximity switches and photoelectric switches.

Receptacles thread into panels and walls, so they work well in stationary or permanent installations.

Connectors with screw terminals hold wire by tightening a screw, so you don’t need to use soldering irons or crimpers.

IP or NEMA rated when mated, all seal out dust. IP66K rated connectors protect against high-pressure washdowns. IP67 rated connectors seal out water from temporary submersion. IP68 rated connectors withstand submersion. NEMA 6P rated connectors protect against weather, washdowns, corrosion, and submersion.

Protect against signal interference while sending 2-3 times more current than M12 connectors. These mini connectors have a braided shielding, which blocks interference from nearby devices for a reliable signal. Because they carry a high current, they are often used with automated systems, motors, and pumps. A threaded housing securely mates with other mini connectors and won’t come loose from shaking or vibration. They have a standard pole layout and housing thread size to reduce the chance you’ll mis-mate connectors.

When mated, these connectors meet IP68 and NEMA 6P for protection against dust, submersion, washdowns, and weather.

Caps protect connectors and maintain their IP and NEMA ratings when not in use.

Thread Adapters connect plugs and sockets that both have internal threads.

Unlike traditional RJ45 connectors found in data centers, these connectors stand up to rugged industrial environments since they tightly thread to devices with M12 connections, sealing out contaminants and resisting shaking loose from vibration. Use them to transfer high-speed data between sensors, switches, computers, IO modules, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other equipment. They can also power devices as they send data, so you don’t need a separate power cord. But, the device must be Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible. These connectors are often used with EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and EtherCAT systems. Since they’re shielded, they block signal interference from nearby devices, maintaining their speed and data integrity. Poles and keyways on the face adhere to standard coding layouts to reduce the chance you’ll mismatch connections.

When choosing an Ethernet connector, make sure you match or exceed your network’s category industry designation. These connectors are backward compatible—for example, a Category 6 connector will work in a Category 5 network, but it’ll only run at the Category 5 speed.

A-coded and X-coded connectors send data faster than D-coded connectors, so they’re best for robotics and other systems that run multi-step programs.

Y-coded connectors send both data and power to your device to reduce the number of cables needed.

Adapters create a transition point between an M12 and RJ45 connection. Use them in panels or walls—your tough threaded connection on one side and your control panel and computer or PLC on the other.

90° elbow connectors run your cord along the side of equipment, so they fit behind machines and in tight spaces.

Connectors with a screw-on wire connection, also known as field wireable connectors, do not require special tools like crimpers or soldering irons to attach to cables.

Connectors with polyurethane or TPE insulation resist chemicals, oil, and sunlight for outdoor use. Because they’re flexible, they’re good for jobs with continuous motion, such as robotics.

IP rated connectors keep out dust and can be used in wet areas when mated or capped. IP65 connectors can be lightly rinsed. IP67 connectors can be submerged temporarily.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

FDA compliant to safely touch food and threaded for a tight hold, these connectors won’t vibrate loose as they send high-speed data to sensors and other automated devices in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical plants. They stand up to brief submersion as well as high-heat washdowns and harsh cleaners common to food lines, thanks to their IP ratings, TPE insulation, and stainless steel and polypropylene housing. Their insulation also means they’re flexible and won’t break down from abrasion or UV exposure. Overall, they’re more rugged than traditional RJ45 connectors.

To reduce the risk of signal loss between equipment, these connectors block signal interference from nearby devices. Poles and keyways on their face adhere to standard coding layouts, keeping you from mis-mating connections. D coded, these connectors are often used within Ethernet/IP, Profinet, and EtherCat systems. They can also power devices as they send data, so you don’t need a separate power cord. But, your device must be Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible.

When choosing an Ethernet connector, make sure you match or exceed your network’s category industry designation. These connectors are backward compatible—for example, a Category 6 connector will work in a Category 5 network, but it’ll only run at the Category 5 speed.

The threaded end of these M8 connectors keeps contaminants out and withstands vibration better than RJ45 ends on traditional Ethernet cords. They are often used with sensors, switches, and I/O modules. To protect against signal interference, these connectors are shielded. Connectors are Power over Ethernet (POE) enabled to carry data and power within one connector.

A-coded connectors work with EtherCAT connections that have the same pole configuration.

Snap-on wire connections pierce wire insulation, eliminating the need for wire stripping. They maintain a secure hold in high-vibration applications.

Connectors with a polyurethane cable bend easily, so they are ideal for applications that require continuous flexibility such as robotics. They also resist oil.

These connectors are IP rated when mated. IP65 rated connectors protect against dust and low-pressure jets of water. IP67 rated connectors keep out dust and water from temporary submersion.

Often used in automation systems such as conveyors and sorters, these cords have plug and socket ends, so they quickly connect and disconnect for maintenance and do not need to be hardwired. Because these cords carry higher currents than micro and mini cords, they can power equipment such as motors, fans, pumps, and automated machine tools. They are shielded to block out interference from nearby equipment. These cords meet UL 2237 and UL 2238, so they can be used in motor branch circuits of industrial machinery. They also meet TC-ER crush and impact requirements for exposed runs in cable carriers. IP rated, they protect against dust, washdowns, and temporary submersion.

Connect these cords to control cabinets and equipment with M29 power receptacles (sold separately).
