IFM EVC260 is a compact 0.3 m M8 connection cable designed for industrial automation systems. It features an M8 plug and angled M8 socket for convenient installation in restricted spaces. The PUR cable provides flexible and durable performance. Its high IP protection makes it suitable for demanding environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EVC260 is designed for short-distance connections between compatible M8 devices. Its 0.3 m cable length is useful for compact machinery and control installations. The angled M8 socket helps simplify connections where available space is limited. The straight-to-angled design provides flexible installation options.
The cable supports AC/DC applications with less than 50 V AC and less than 60 V DC. Gold-plated contacts provide reliable signal transmission. The 3 A current rating supports suitable industrial applications. The secure locking mechanism helps maintain a stable connection.
The EVC260 uses PUR cable, TPU housing and FKM sealing. These materials provide durability for industrial environments. The cable is silicone-free and halogen-free. The nickel-plated brass locking components provide secure mechanical coupling.
The cable provides IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection. It operates from -25°C to 90°C. It is suitable for drag-chain applications and repeated movement. The cable supports more than 5 million bending cycles.
