binder Circular Connector, 8 Contacts, Cable, M16 Connector, Plug, Male, IP40, 680 Series

This circular connector is a cable-mounted M16 plug designed for connecting multi-contact signals in industrial environments. It provides a straight, screw-mating Interface with eight contacts for Compact power and signal transmission. The connector is intended for applications requiring a robust contact system and straightforward installation where a cable-mounted, male plug is preferred.

• Eight silver-plated brass contacts deliver corrosion-resistant conductivity
• Solder termination ensures secure, low-resistance jointing for conductors
• Rated for 60V and 5A to support low-voltage signal and power circuits
• Polyamide housing offers electrical insulation and chemical resistance
• Operating range -40°C to 85°C maintains function across temperature extremes
• Shell diameter 18.5mm enables Compact panel and cable routing

• Suitable for industrial sensor and actuator cabling in automation systems
• Ideal for connecting control-panel looms to field devices
• Used for low-voltage power distribution in machines and equipment
• Can be used for signal transmission in assembly-line instrumentation
• Used with test rigs requiring frequent plug-and-play cable changes

The contacts are brass with a silver plate, which provides good conductivity and improved surface resistance to wear compared with bare brass, aiding electrical performance over repeated matings.

Mating is achieved via a screw coupling, enabling a mechanically secure connection that resists loosening under vibration.

The unit has an IP40 rating, which protects against solid objects larger than 1mm but does not provide protection against water ingress.

Conductors are joined by soldering to the contact terminations, giving a permanent, low-resistance connection suitable for stable installations.
