Phoenix Contact SACC-M 8FS-3CON-M-SW M8 3-Pin Straight Female Connector

The Phoenix Contact SACC-M 8FS-3CON-M-SW is a high-quality 3-pin M8 straight female connector engineered for robust signal and data transmission in industrial automation. Designed for field assembly, this connector features a reliable screw connection system that allows for secure termination of conductors without the need for specialized crimping tools. With its A-coded interface and durable nickel-plated brass knurl, it provides a stable and vibration-resistant connection suitable for various control environments.

Advantages

This connector offers exceptional durability and ease of installation in demanding industrial settings. The IP67 protection rating ensures that the connection remains sealed against dust and moisture, maintaining signal integrity even in harsh conditions. Its versatile design accommodates a wide range of wire cross-sections, providing flexibility for different cabling requirements. The use of high-grade nickel-plated brass for the knurl enhances mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring a long service life.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Sensor and actuator connectivity
• Field-assembled cabling solutions
• Environments requiring IP67 ingress protection

This connector may not be suitable for applications requiring high-speed data transmission beyond standard signal levels or for environments involving extreme chemical exposure that exceeds the specifications of nickel-plated brass. It is also not intended for use with cables outside the specified diameter range of 3.5 mm to 5 mm.

Key specifications

• Connector type: M8 female, straight
• Number of positions: 3
• Connection method: Screw connection
• Coding: A-coded
• Wire cross-section: 0.14 mm² to 0.5 mm²
• Cable diameter range: 3.5 mm to 5 mm
• Knurl material: Nickel-plated brass
• Ingress protection: IP67

To use this connector, strip the insulation from your conductors according to the required length and insert them into the terminal block. Secure the wires using the integrated screw terminals to ensure a firm electrical contact. Assemble the housing components by tightening the knurled nut onto the cable gland, ensuring the seal is properly seated to maintain the IP67 rating. Finally, connect the female socket to the corresponding M8 male interface and tighten the connection manually.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the cable diameter falls within the 3.5 mm to 5 mm range.
• Ensure the wire cross-section is compatible with the 0.14 mm² to 0.5 mm² range.
• Confirm that the M8 A-coded interface matches your existing equipment.
• Check the environmental conditions to ensure IP67 protection is sufficient for your application.

Ensure that all screw terminals are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque to prevent loose connections and potential signal interference. Always inspect the cable seal during assembly to guarantee the integrity of the IP67 protection.
