This is a field wireable connector from Balluff, supplied as an M8x1 male, straight, 3-pin, A-coded fitting for terminating cables on site. It accepts cable diameters of 3.5mm to 5mm with conductor cross sections of 0.14 to 0.34, and is rated IP67 for use in environments requiring sealed field connections. Housing and grip are PBT, with brass used for the jacket, cover nut and sensing contacts, and a PA contact carrier, giving an operating voltage of 60 VDC/60 VAC and rated current of 4A. It is suited to automation and machine wiring applications where connectors must be assembled or replaced in the field rather than pre-moulded.
