Phoenix Contact SACC-M12FS-4CON-PG7-M M12 Straight Female Connector 4-Pin

The Phoenix Contact SACC-M12FS-4CON-PG7-M is a professional-grade M12 straight female connector engineered for reliable signal and power transmission in industrial automation systems. This 4-pin connector features an A-coded interface and a robust screw connection system, ensuring a secure and vibration-resistant electrical contact. Built with a nickel-plated zinc die-cast knurl, it provides excellent mechanical durability and protection against environmental factors, making it a dependable choice for demanding field installations.

Advantages

This connector offers exceptional versatility through its field-wireable design, allowing for custom cable assembly without the need for specialized tooling beyond standard hand tools. The screw connection technology ensures high contact integrity even in environments subject to mechanical stress or vibration. Its durable construction materials provide long-term resistance to corrosion and wear, while the integrated Pg7 cable gland facilitates a tight seal for cables ranging from 4 mm to 6 mm in diameter, effectively preventing moisture and dust ingress.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Sensor and actuator connectivity
• Fieldbus and communication networks
• Machine building and robotics

When it may not be suitable

This connector is not intended for high-speed data transmission applications requiring shielded cables or specific impedance matching. It is also not suitable for use with cables outside the specified 4 mm to 6 mm diameter range, as this would compromise the integrity of the cable gland seal.

Key specifications

• Connector type: M12 straight female
• Number of positions: 4
• Coding: A-coded
• Connection method: Screw connection
• Cable gland: Pg7
• External cable diameter: 4 mm to 6 mm
• Knurl material: Zinc die-cast, nickel-plated

How to use

To assemble the connector, first slide the cable gland components onto the cable. Strip the outer insulation of the cable and the individual wire ends according to the required length. Insert the wires into the corresponding terminals of the contact insert and tighten the screws securely to ensure a firm connection. Once the wires are connected, slide the housing over the insert and tighten the Pg7 cable gland to secure the cable and ensure the environmental seal is established. Finally, screw the connector onto the corresponding M12 male interface until hand-tight.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the pin count matches your existing system requirements.
• Ensure the cable diameter falls within the 4 mm to 6 mm range.
• Confirm that the A-coding is compatible with your specific application.
• Check if the environment requires additional shielding or specific ingress protection ratings beyond IP67.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the screw terminals are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque to prevent loose connections. Regularly inspect the cable gland for tightness to maintain the environmental protection rating over time.
