IFM EVC438 is a 2 m Y connection cable designed for reliable signal distribution between industrial automation components. It features one M12 plug and two M12 sockets with gold-plated contacts. The PUR cable is halogen-free, silicone-free and suitable for demanding industrial environments with repeated movement.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
Reliable Y Connection
EVC438 allows one M12 connection to interface with two M12 connections in an automation system. This provides a practical way to distribute signals between compatible sensors and control components. Gold-plated contacts support dependable electrical connectivity. The Y configuration helps simplify machine wiring.
Durable PUR Cable
The 2 m PUR cable provides flexibility and mechanical durability for industrial installations. Its halogen-free and silicone-free construction is suitable for demanding factory environments. The black cable sheath provides a robust solution for machine wiring. It is suitable for applications involving oils and coolants.
Integrated Status Indication
EVC438 includes a green power LED and yellow output-status LED for convenient visual monitoring. These indicators help operators identify power and output conditions quickly. The LED arrangement can simplify troubleshooting during installation and maintenance. This provides additional convenience in automation systems.
Protection for Dynamic Applications
The cable provides IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection for demanding environments. It is suitable for drag-chain applications and supports more than 5 million bending cycles. The minimum bending radius is 10 times the cable diameter. This makes it suitable for moving industrial machinery.
