M8 Panel Receptacle for Sealed Industrial Links
It belongs to the M8 series of threaded circular connectors, sized for space-constrained sensor and actuator connections in automation control, industrial equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure. The A-coded orientation ensures it mates only with an A-coded M8 plug — a coding-key match that prevents cross-mating with other M8 variants on the same panel.
Sealing, Current, and Contact Finish
Panel-mounted via a bulkhead rear-side nut, the metal shell (copper alloy with nickel finish) provides a rugged, grounded housing. Termination is solder cup — each wire is soldered directly into the contact cup, a method that gives a reliable, low-resistance joint without requiring a crimp tool.
