Lumberg Automation 8-pole M8 actuator/sensor connectors

Lumberg Automation’s 8-pole M8 actuator/sensor connectors are being offered in two variants with moulded cables as well as in three field-attachable installation variants.

All variants are designed for a temperature range of between -25 and +80°C, and, when screwed together with the appropriate counterparts, meet the requirements of protection type IP67.

Owing to the high contact density, up to eight signals can be transmitted with an external power supply, making the 8-pole M8 actuator/sensor connector suitable for connecting optoelectronic sensors or safety switches of the kind used, for example, for monitoring safety doors on machines and systems.

The moulded connectors have an open cable end, which ensures a high degree of flexibility in wiring. The male connector (RSM 8-354/0.3 M) has a snap-in/threaded joint and the female connector (RKMV 8-354/2 M) has a self-locking threaded joint.

The receptacle connector RSMF 8/0.5 M is screwed down on the front side of switch cabinets or other equipment. Conversely, the RSMEDG 8, which is designed, for example, for installation in sensors, can be simply pressed in and connected by means of a snap-in/threaded joint.
