What is Pico cable?
Pico (M8) Cordsets & Patchcords Patchcords have a cable with integral connector at each end (one male, one female) and are an efficient way to couple connector-based field devices.
What are sensor cables?
Sensor cable is a cable construction designed for optimal performance of signal/data transmission from a sensor, transducer, or transmitter to a control unit. Pressure, liquid, temperature, and flow are just a few of the measurements that can be taken.
What is M8 connector?
The M8 connector is used specifically with industrial sensors and features a waterproof 3-pin screw. These connectors come pre-assembled and remain watertight even if submerged. These heavy-duty connectors are typically used in harsh environments.
Is M8 Pico?
The M8 connector (NAN), also known in the industry as Pico connectors, are currently our smallest connector. The NAN-Series of plugs and receptacles are available in two different versions, a snap-on and a thread-on. The M8 connector can be used for connecting small sensors or actuators, to transmitters or instruments.
What is sensor actuator cable?
The sensor/actuator cables are analog signal cables, connecting automation systems end points (e.g. sensors) to the next layer (e.g. I/O devices) The high-quality sensor cables offer production security, high availability of devices, and highest-level reliability.
What is the difference between an M8 and M12 connector?
M12 connectors are available as 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 8-, and 12-pin styles and are especially suited to harsh environments where washdown and corrosion may occur, as they usually come with IP65, IP68 and IP69K ratings. The M8 connector is used specifically with industrial sensors.
What is a M12 wire?
Micro (M12) quick-disconnect cables easily connect field devices in industrial installations. Sold in various lengths, M12 cables have an axial or right-angle 12mm connector on one end and open leads on the other, or plugs on both ends.
What is M12 D coded?
D-coded for 100 Mbit Ethernet. X-coded for 10 Gbit Ethernet. S-coded for ac power (will eventually replace C-coded power parts) T-coded for dc power (will eventually replace A-coded power parts)
What is the difference between an actuator and a sensor?
A sensor tends to convert a physical attribute to an electrical signal. An actuator does the opposite: it changes an electrical signal to physical action.
What is an M23 connector?
M23 style electrical connectors are mainly used for connecting electrical drives, encoders, and servo-motors in Industrial applications. The M23 refers to the thread type used in connecting the cable plug & receptacle.
