Brad from Molex Straight Female 4 way M8 to Unterminated Sensor Actuator Cable, 2m

These 2m leads are available in 3, 4 or 8 way versions with a straight or right angle head incorporating an M8 anti-vibration coupling nut. There is a choice of PVC cable, for general purpose applications, or high-flex PUR cable, for extra chemical resistance (typically to oil based products) or continuous flexing applications where cable durability is required.

This Brad from Molex cable assembly is used to transmit electrical power for industrial automation applications. It consists of four wires housed in a durable polyurethane (PUR) sheath that's resistant to wear, chemicals and heat. This makes it a good choice for use in harsh industrial environments. The cable has one female M8 connector and one unterminated end, meaning you can modify the cable to suit your application. Thanks to its ample 2-metre length, it's a flexible option for connecting equipment in your workplace.

• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +80°C for use in demanding environments
• IP67 (ingress protection) rating for resistance to dust and moisture
• M8 connector has gold-plated copper contacts for good conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance
• Quick-disconnect mechanism for ease of replacement and maintenance

• Hydraulic and pneumatic applications
• Industrial automation

Simply use a pair of wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable coat, then wrap the cores around the connector terminals.

Brad Harrison - M8

The Brad Harrison® range of connectors and splitter boxes have been principally designed for use in industrial applications. The Quick Disconnect® principle offers cost savings by enabling quick and simple replacement of either the sensors or cable, helping keep machine down time to a minimum. Designed for use in harsh environments, these connectors are available in re-wireable or pre-wired, factory moulded versions which are robust, compact and waterproof up to IP68. They are typically used for control system products such as proximity, limit and other forms of switches, but are equally at home in test, instrumentation and other electrical/electronic applications where the operating environment is less arduous.
