Murr T-coupler M12 male / M8 female 0°, parallel circuit

Product Overview

This M12 to M8 T-coupler adapter (SKU: 7000-41221-0000000) features one male M12 straight connector branching to two female M8 straight connectors, all with A-coding for reliable signal distribution between different connector sizes in industrial automation applications. The compact design provides efficient connectivity for converting M12 systems to multiple M8 device connections with parallel circuit distribution.

Connector Configuration:

• Input: M12, 4-pole, 0° straight, A-coded (male)
• Output: 2x M8, 3-pole, 0° straight, A-coded (female)
• Thread: M12 x 1mm (input), M8 x 1mm (outputs), self-securing
• Tightening torque: 0.6 Nm (M12), 0.4 Nm (M8)
• Protection: IP67 when inserted and tightened
• Housing: Impact-resistant plastic

T-Coupler Design:

• Configuration: One M12 input to two M8 outputs
• Topology: Point-to-multipoint distribution with size conversion
• Signal splitting: Parallel connection distribution to smaller connectors
• Network expansion: Connects M12 systems to multiple M8 devices
• Installation efficiency: Single M12 cable run to multiple M8 devices

Electrical Characteristics:

• Operating voltage: 60V AC/DC max.
• Current rating: 4A max. per contact
• Rated surge voltage: 1.5 kV
• Conductor: 4-contact input / 2x 3-contact output
• Contact material: Nickel-plated contacts

Environmental Performance:

• Protection rating: IP67 (when mated)
• Chemical resistance: Good resistance to chemicals and oils
• Media compatibility: Resistant to aggressive media (individual testing recommended)

Material & Construction:

• Housing: Impact-resistant plastic construction
• Contact plating: Nickel-plated for corrosion resistance
• Locking mechanism: Threaded with self-securing design
• Material compliance: RoHS compliant

Applications

Designed for industrial automation environments requiring signal distribution from one M12 source to multiple M8 devices. Ideal for connecting M12 control systems to multiple M8 sensors or actuators, reducing installation complexity by eliminating the need for multiple separate cable runs. Perfect for compact sensor networks and distributed control applications where size conversion and signal splitting are needed.
