Molded cables, connectors and sensor boxes for connection of sensors and actuators in the field
Phoenix Contact's full range of fast field connections for sensors and actuators includes the popular M12 connectors, M8 connectors and the small M5 connectors. Phoenix Contact offers Micro ½-inch and Mini 7/8-inch connectors exclusively to the North American market. Whether an application requires a field assembled cable connector, cordset, or sensor box for signal distribution, Phoenix Contact's complete product range fulfills any demand for IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K environments. This high degree of protection from dust, dirt, and water guarantees a reliable industrial connection.
Molded cables and cordsets
Molded cordsets and extension cables provide an electrical connection between a field device and a sensor box or the controller. Phoenix Contact specializes in molded cables using M12 connectors or M8 connectors and other industry standards such as M5, M23, micro ½-inch and mini 7/8-inch.
CMAT - Molded cables with solutions for every application
Need a non-standard length cordset or want to choose a preferred cable type? Phoenix Contact specializes in cordsets and extension cables with M12 connectors or M8 connectors and other industry standard connectors. Cable lengths from 0.2 to 40 meters can be made-to-order for any application from our CMAT service.
Sensor boxes distribute signals from sensors and actuators in the field
Pre-wired sensor boxes for 24/120 V PNP or NPN signal distribution help machine builders save space with the compact design and wire management. The sensor box saves installation time due to the pre-wired M12 connector slots (also M5 and M8 connector versions) which gives a plug-and-play connection for quick disconnect or pigtail sensors and actuators in the field. The built-in LED provides easy detection of power and device status and simplifies troubleshooting.
Field-wired connectors for quick and easy cordset assembly and installation
Field-wired cable connectors from Phoenix Contact are used for cable repair points, cable extensions or on-site cordset assembly. Various types are offered including M12 connectors, M8 connectors and Mini 7/8-inch.
Methods for wire termination vary upon the users comfort level and include many connection technologies such as screw terminal, spring cage, insulation displacement (IDC), or solder.
Multi-conductor cables for assembly of cordsets in the field
Phoenix Contact offers UL-style, multi-conductor copper stranded cables in Polyurethane (PUR) and Polyvinylchloride (PVC) outer jackets for device wiring. The bulk cable can be used to wire circular connectors such as the industrial standard M8 and M12 connectors, and the home run connection for signal distribution sensor boxes.
SPEEDCON M12 connectors save installation time in the field
SPEEDCON innovates the classic M12 connector and saves time during installation by creating a completely sealed, water-proof connection in just a quarter turn, whereas a traditional M12 connector requires rotating the coupling nut 6-7 times until the connector is fully mated.
Stainless steel M12 connectors designed to meet strict standards for the food and beverage industry
The food and beverage industry requires connectors made of high quality material that withstand harsh environments. To meet these demands, sensor boxes for signal distribution, molded cables and M12 connectors are available in stainless steel and with a special FDA-approved cable material.
