Phoenix Contact Circular Connector, 3 Contacts, Cable Mount, M8 Connector, Plug, Male, IP68, SACC Series

From Phoenix Contact, a range of cable mount field connectors with a high degree of protection. The sensor style connectors have an M8 threaded interface and industry standard A coding preventing miss-mating. The re-wireable connectors are available with classic screw termination or with Piercecon termination for rapid field installation. With an IP68 ingress rating, the Phoenix M8 field connectors are ideally suited to harsh environments that demand a higher level of protection. Resistant to shock and vibration these rugged circular connectors are ideal for maintenance, repair and the construction of customized cable assemblies.

Piercecon technology is a revolutionary connection method for rapid termination. Piercecon provides maximum contact density for connections where installation space it tight. The contact is made via a contact pin which pierces the single wires axially.
