The T4011008041-000: It sits in the M8 series — the compact 8 mm shell size that replaced the old M12 footprint on sensor and actuator lines where space is tight. The shell is brass, the mating contacts are gold, and the termination is screw-clamp, so no crimp tool is needed at the panel end. The IP67 rating means the O-ring seals at the mating face keep dust and washdown water out when the plug is threaded into a matching receptacle.
Sizing a Replacement or a New BOM Line
The T4011008041-000 is a 4-position male plug, M8-4 shell size, with a threaded fastening. The closest sibling in the same M8 series is a 3-position variant — same shell, same IP67 seal, same screw termination — but with one fewer circuit. The 4-position version is what you order when the sensor or actuator cable needs four conductors (typically two for power and two for signal or a shield drain). If the application calls for a 5-pin M8, that is a different shell insert (M8-5) and does not mate with this 4-pin receptacle.
Termination and Field Wiring
This plug terminates with screw clamps — strip the wire, insert into the contact chamber, tighten the screw. No crimp die or special tool required, which makes it a field-service-friendly choice for panel builders and maintenance techs who need to re-terminate on a ladder or in a cabinet. The backshell is included in the package, so there is no separate strain-relief part to source. Mates with any standard M8-4 female receptacle (solder or PCB mount) that uses the same threaded coupling.
