M8 Connectors target automation applications

Offered in 3- and 4-pin female and 4-pin male versions, M8 Connectors can be used to build flexible I/O connection on circuit boards. When connectors are plugged in, protection rating meets IP67 in accordance with IEC 61076-2-101 standard. Insulator is high-temperature-resistant plastic and suitable for soldering with all SMT soldering procedures. Users can choose SMT, press-fit, or through-hole reflow termination. 
ERNI, a leading supplier of PCB connectors, announced today it is offering new M8 male and female connectors designed for automation technology. The first products will be 3- and 4-pin female connectors, and a 4-pin version of the male connector. These connectors can be used to build a flexible I/O-connection on the circuit board. By employing surface-mount technology (SMT) termination, ERNI is enabling customers for the first time to consistently miniaturize their field devices.

Standard Interconnect Geometry The interconnect geometry complies with the IEC 61067-2-101 standard. When the connector is plugged in, its protection rating meets IP67 in accord with the IEC 61076-2-101 standard. The traditional range of applications includes connecting sensors and actuators in automation technology. Now, however, the space-saving M8 connectors are also being used for power-supply and bus connections where M12 connectors or others are too large. Unlike the M12 connectors, M8 connectors are coded only via the contact arrangement.

M8 Ruggedness the M8 connector's terminal connections have been made so robust that it is possible to feed in bulk material packaging using an appropriate vibration device. The connector has also been designed for tape-on-reel packaging. As a result, despite their relatively high installation height, it is possible to mount the male and female connectors automatically using today's automatic placement machines and feeders.
