The TE Connectivity T4110012081-000 is an M12 A-coded plug with 8 female socket contacts, designed for free-hanging (in-line) cable termination. It is a shielded, metal-shell connector with a threaded coupling nut and a brass backshell, finished in nickel. The plug accepts cables with an outer jacket diameter between 0.236" and 0.315" (6.00 mm to 8.00 mm), making it suitable for standard M12 sensor/actuator cables and industrial Ethernet drops. Rated IP67 when mated, it seals against dust and temporary water immersion, so it belongs on washdown stations, conveyor lines, or outdoor equipment enclosures.
Sizing the Cable Entry and Termination
The screw termination means you land each conductor under a clamp screw inside the plug body — no crimp tool required, but you do need a small screwdriver and a torque spec from the manufacturer's instruction sheet. The cable opening range of 6.00 mm to 8.00 mm is the critical fit dimension: if your cable jacket is smaller than 6.00 mm, the gland may not seal to IP67; larger than 8.00 mm and it won't enter the backshell at all. The 8 positions match an 8-wire cable, common for multi-signal sensor bundles or a combination of signal and low-power lines.
Electrical and Environmental Limits
The gold-over-nickel mating finish (3.00 µin gold) resists corrosion and maintains contact reliability over repeated mating cycles in humid or mildly corrosive factory air. The A-coding keying ensures it mates only with A-coded M12 receptacles — a B-coded or D-coded port will not accept it, which is the intended mis-mate prevention.
