Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
Introduction
The EVC673 provides a dependable connection between industrial sensors and automation components using M8 interfaces. Its compact connector design is suitable for sensor and actuator installations.
Connector and Cable Design
The cable features straight M8 connectors with A-coded connections. The 3 m PUR cable uses a 3 × 0.25 mm² construction and gold-plated contacts for reliable electrical signal transmission.
Durable Industrial Construction
TPU connector housings, FKM sealing and nickel-plated brass locking nuts provide reliable mechanical protection. The cable is halogen-free and silicone-free for demanding industrial installations.
Application Performance
The EVC673 provides IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection. It supports drag-chain applications with a minimum bending radius of 10 times the cable diameter, travel speeds up to 3.3 m/s and more than 5 million bending cycles.
