Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EVC261 provides a practical M8-to-M8 connection for compatible industrial components. Its straight plug and angled socket make it suitable for installations with limited space. The 0.6 m cable length provides convenient device-to-device connectivity. The secure connector design helps maintain reliable connections.
Gold-plated contacts provide stable electrical performance and help reduce connection-related issues. The cable supports AC/DC operation. Its 3 A current rating makes it suitable for compatible industrial sensor and actuator applications. The locking mechanism provides secure coupling.
The EVC261 uses PUR cable with TPU connector housings and FKM sealing. The materials are designed for industrial environments. It is free from silicone and halogens. The cable construction provides good resistance to mechanical stress and environmental conditions.
IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection helps protect the connection from dust and water. The cable operates from -25°C to 90°C. Drag-chain suitability allows use in moving applications. More than 5 million bending cycles support repeated machine movement.
