New M8 Connectors – wider selection, modern design
Suwanee, Georgia, March 25, 2013– Murrelektronik has redesigned their line of M8 connectors. We now offer a wider selection and better technology packaged in a sleek, modern design.
Murrelektronik's newly enhanced M8 connector range has many features that benefit the customer.The new M8s featuremolded PUR connectors, gold-plated contacts, a smooth surface that stays cleaner than the previous ridged design, a built-in connection for corrugated pipes and a hex screw with thread (SW9) that is compatible with our Torque Wrench.
We offer a wide variety of models: male/female, straight/90°, 3-pole/4-pole, shielded, various colors and materials, connection cables and open-ended wires. If you add in our M8 T-couplers and adapters plus our models with LED –we have your M8 connection needs covered!
Here are some highlights...
Excellent EMC characteristics:The new, shielded M8 connectors ensure an EMC protected signal transfer - even in high disturbance areas.
M8 Lite - The Alternative to Stainless Steel:By using plastic sealing nuts for the M8 connectors, Murrelektronik has found a cost-effective alternative for applications that have previously required a stainless steel connection.
Snap-In: Plug in - you're done:The connection principle of the M8 snap-in connectors is really that simple. This saves time during installation and maintenance. The IP65 protection rating you achieve once you snap them in is the icing on the cake.
Available for EtherCAT:M8 connectors are also available for real time Ethernet via the EtherCAT protocol. Choose open-ended wires or ones with an M8, M12 or RJ45 connection on the other end. Molded connections ensure the highest reliability in industrial applications
Food and beverage:Our new M8 connectors for the food and beverage industry feature easy to clean stainless steel fittings. Plus, their gray cable makes it easy to spot mold and dirt.
