The IFM EVC674 is a compact 0.3 m connection cable designed for reliable connections between M8 and M12 components in industrial automation systems. It features an angled M8 plug and a straight M12 socket with A-coded, gold-plated contacts. The PUR cable provides excellent durability and flexibility for demanding industrial environments. Its PNP design, high IP protection and drag-chain suitability make it suitable for machine and factory automation applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
Introduction
The EVC674 connection cable provides a reliable interface between compatible industrial sensors, actuators and automation components. Its compact 0.3 m design is suitable for installations where space is limited while maintaining a secure electrical connection.
Connector and Cable Design
The cable features an angled M8 plug on one side and a straight M12 socket on the other. Both connectors use A-coded contacts, while the 3 × 0.34 mm² PUR cable provides flexible and reliable signal transmission. The contacts are gold-plated for dependable electrical performance.
Industrial Durability
The EVC674 is designed with halogen-free and silicone-free materials. The connector housings are made from TPU, with nickel-plated brass nuts and FKM sealing. The cable is resistant to oils and coolants and is suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Application Performance
The cable supports 10–36 V DC operation and a maximum total load current of 3 A. It provides IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection and can be used in cable chains. For dynamic applications, it supports 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.
