m8-m12FM

Supported Applications

The Omega Field Mountable M8 and M12 Connectors series is designed to connect existing sensors and cables. These connectors provide convenient connections to equipment featuring M8 or M12 interfaces, available in right-angled or straight configurations.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The series carries an IP67 enclosure rating. Connector pins and sockets are manufactured from plated brass. The product overview specifies compatibility with cables having a diameter of 4 to 6 mm. M12 connectors accommodate #18 to #24AWG conductors using screw-type connections, while M8 connectors utilize soldering for #24AWG conductors.

Connector Configurations

• M8 Connectors: 3 pins; available as straight or right-angled male/female.
• M12 Connectors: Available with 4, 5, or 8 pins; offered in straight or right-angled male/female styles.

Configuration Options

The series supports a range of physical configurations to accommodate different installation geometries. Model numbers follow the format: <Connector Size>-<Style>-<Gender>-FM, where style indicates straight (S) or right-angled (R), and gender denotes female (F) or male (M). Specific pin counts for M12 variants are indicated in the model number when not 4-pin.

Key Product Differences

Variants differ by connector size (M8 vs M12), pin count, orientation (straight or right-angled), and gender (male or female). The series includes specific models for 3-pin M8 connections and 4, 5, or 8-pin M12 connections. When adding a connector to a sensor purchase, the documentation notes that the connector part number should be appended at the end of the sensor model number without dashes.
