In the CDM8 family, as it will be known, there are male or female jack versions, all with IP67 ratings for harsh environments, with 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 pins, coded A for 1Gbit/s Ethernet or B coded for Profibus.

So far, there are 69 members, offering many combinations of termination (PCB pin, crimped PCB pin or wire lead) and thread pitches (M8 x 0.5mm, M8 x 0.75mm, M8 x 1mm, M10 x 0.75mm or M11 x 1mm).


Operation is across -25 to 80°C, and up to either 30Vac (5, 6, 8 position) or 60Vac (3, 4 position), and 1.5A (6 ot 8 position) or 3A (3, 4, 5 position).


On top of this, custom coding is available.
