M12 A-coded 8-pin female plug with screw termination and IP67 sealing
The TE Connectivity T4112012081-000 is an M12 A-coded circular connector — an 8-position plug with female sockets, designed for industrial sensor and actuator networks where a shielded, sealed interconnect is needed. It terminates via screw clamps, so no crimp tool is required for field wiring, and the right-angle cable exit keeps the harness profile low against the panel or machine frame. The shell is nickel-plated brass, the mating contacts carry 3.00µin gold over zinc alloy, and the whole assembly is rated IP67 when mated to the corresponding M12 receptacle, meaning it handles dust, hose-down, and temporary immersion in the factory or outdoor enclosure.
2 A per contact, 30 V — signal-level duty for sensor buses
The 8-position count matches the full pinout of an M12 A-coded 8-pole interface, which carries four signal pairs plus shield drain. The gold mating finish (3.00µin) supports repeated connect-disconnect cycles without contact fretting, which matters when a sensor gets swapped during line changeover.
The metal shell and coupling nut provide shielding. The IP67 seal is dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion.
Screw termination — field-repairable without special tooling
Each contact is a screw-clamp terminal inside the insert. Strip the wire, insert it, tighten — no crimp die, no pneumatic press. That makes the T4112012081-000 a practical choice for maintenance crews who re-terminate cables on the fly or for low-volume harness builds where a crimp tool investment doesn't pencil out. The backshell and coupling nut are included in the assembly, so there's no separate part to order for cable strain relief.
