CAZN, Shenzhen Zhengcheng Electric Co., Ltd., is a national high-tech enterprise with over a decade of experience in industrial connectivity. Its product portfolio includes European-standard connectors (M5/M8/M12/M16/M23), American-standard connectors, waterproof connectors, RF connectors, and finished cable assemblies. With European-standard quality, UL certification across its product range, and cost-effective solutions, CAZN serves industrial customers worldwide. The M8 8-pin A-coded connector is a key product in CAZN’s M8 series, designed for applications requiring multiple signals and channels.

Product Overview

The M8 8-pin A-coded connector features an M8 × 1.0 mm threaded interface with an 8 mm nominal diameter and is designed and manufactured in accordance with the IEC 61076-2-104 international standard. Its single-keyway A-coded design provides mechanical polarization to prevent incorrect mating.

With eight contacts, a single connector can accommodate more signal channels, making it suitable for compact encoders, multi-signal sensors, and space-efficient I/O modules. It enables higher-density, reliable connectivity in equipment where installation space is limited.

Key Features

8-Pin Multi-Channel Connectivity: Supports more complex signal connections through a single connector, helping save equipment space.

A-Coded Keying: Mechanical keying helps prevent mismating and reduces connection errors.

IP67 Protection: Provides protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion under specified conditions, making it suitable for demanding operating environments.

Gold-Plated Contacts: Help maintain low contact resistance and stable, reliable signal transmission.

UL Certification Across the Product Range: Designed to meet European-standard requirements, with RoHS environmental compliance.

Flexible Configurations: Available in straight or right-angle versions, male or female configurations, shielded or unshielded designs, and panel-mount or cable-mounted options.

Enhanced Threaded Mating Feel (New M8 Series): A smooth tightening action with tactile feedback helps improve installation precision and ease of use.

Technical Specifications

Selection Guide and Customization Options

The 8-pin configuration is suitable for equipment requiring multiple signal channels. For standard sensors that only require power and signal connections, including PNP/NPN outputs, 3-pin or 4-pin connectors are generally sufficient.

CAZN’s M8 connector series offers a comprehensive product range covering 3-pin to 8-pin configurations, A/B/D coding options, straight and right-angle designs, and shielded and unshielded versions. OEM/ODM customization is also available to meet specific application requirements.

With a broad product portfolio and professional technical support, CAZN provides reliable industrial connectivity solutions tailored to diverse equipment designs and operating environments.
