Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EVC688 is an industrial M12 connection cable designed to provide a dependable connection between compatible automation components. Its 2 m cable length provides convenient routing for sensors, actuators, control devices and machine equipment.
The cable is equipped with a straight M12 plug and a straight M12 socket, both using A-coding and gold-plated contacts. The 4 × 0.34 mm² PUR cable has a 4.3 mm diameter and provides flexible, reliable electrical connectivity.
The EVC688 uses a robust TPU connector body, nickel-plated brass locking components and FKM sealing. The cable is halogen-free and silicone-free, while its construction provides resistance to oil, coolant, vibration and shock in industrial applications.
The connection cable supports less than 250 V AC / 300 V DC and a maximum current rating of 4 A. Its IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection enables use in demanding environments. It is also suitable for drag-chain applications, with a minimum bending radius of 10 × cable diameter and more than 5 million bending cycles.
