These 2m leads are available in 3, 4 or 8 way versions with a straight or right angle head incorporating an M8 anti-vibration coupling nut. There is a choice of PVC cable, for general purpose applications, or high-flex PUR cable, for extra chemical resistance (typically to oil based products) or continuous flexing applications where cable durability is required.

Use this robust Brad from Molex cable to connect sensors to industrial equipment. The connector body is made of polyurethane (PUR) and the sheath is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Both materials provide protection from electric shock, as well as resistance to oils and abrasion. On one end is a threaded female M8 connector and the other end is unterminated, so you can adapt it to suit your system. To ensure optimal electrical conductivity, the contacts are made of copper alloy. A sensor actuator cable like this one is frequently used with conveyor belt proximity sensors and transducers.

• IP67 (ingress protection) rating means it's dust-tight and able to withstand 30 minutes immersion in 1m of water
• 2m cable length for easy access to connection ports
• Coupling nut's knurled surface makes it easy to operate either barehanded or with gloves

• Material handling equipment
• Industrial I/O (input/output) connections

The cable has an operating temperature range of -25°C to +80°C, so it's suitable for use in demanding environments.

Brad Harrison - M8

The Brad Harrison® range of connectors and splitter boxes have been principally designed for use in industrial applications. The Quick Disconnect® principle offers cost savings by enabling quick and simple replacement of either the sensors or cable, helping keep machine down time to a minimum. Designed for use in harsh environments, these connectors are available in re-wireable or pre-wired, factory moulded versions which are robust, compact and waterproof up to IP68. They are typically used for control system products such as proximity, limit and other forms of switches, but are equally at home in test, instrumentation and other electrical/electronic applications where the operating environment is less arduous.
