Sensor connectors (M5/M8/M12u2026)

Connectors for sensors and actuators form the backbone of modern automation technology. These circular connectors enable the reliable transmission of signals and supply voltages between field devices and control systems, with protection ratings up to IP67. Product ranges and technical specifications The range includes the standard sizes for industrial sensor and actuator applications:M5 connectors: 3- and 4-pole, compact design for confined spacesM8 connectors: 3-, 4- and 5-pin in accordance with IEC 61076-2-104, standard solution for simple sensorsM12 connector, coding A: 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- and 8-pin in accordance with IEC 61076-2-101, the most commonly used design in automation. The connectors are available as straight and angled cable connectors, as well as as panel-mounted connectors. Pre-assembled PUR connection cables in various lengths complete the range. Adapters and cable splitters enable flexible cabling solutions. The range includes products from leading manufacturers such as Binder.Typical applications: M5, M8 and M12 connectors are used wherever sensors and actuators need to be connected reliably. Proximity switches, pressure sensors and temperature sensors utilise this connection technology, as do light barriers and IO-Link-compatible field devices. In actuator technology, they supply proportional valves and electric actuators. These connector systems have established themselves as robust and low-maintenance solutions, particularly in conveyor technology and robotics.
