D-coded M8 device connectors – Data transmission for Ethernet and PROFINET

December 16, 2019

Phoenix Contact has expanded its range of circular connectors for data transmission. The new, two-piece M8 device connectors are especially well-suited for compact devices such as SCADA operator interfaces or camera systems.

The four-position socket contacts feature D-coding and data transmission at up to 100 Mbps (CAT5 in accordance with IEEE 802.3) in Ethernet and PROFINET environments. For mounting in the device wall, thread or press-in housings are available for a mechanically stable port-screw connection. When connected, the device connectors fulfill the IP67 degree of protection.

Your advantages

  • Transmit high data rates in a confined space – Ideal for compact devices
  • Designed for integration into the SMT soldering process
  • Packaging available for automated pick-and-place assembly
  • Thread or press-in housings enable easy integration of the mechanical port screw connection
  • Sealed tight by optional additional O-ring

Main features

  • Pin assignment: 4-pos., D-coded
  • Currents for 4 A
  • Voltages up to 60 V
  • Standard IEC 61076-2-114
  • Black insulating body (other color on request)
  • CAT5 in accordance with IEEE 802.3
  • Power over Ethernet
  • Shielded or unshielded versions
  • Degree of protection: IP67 (when plugged in)
