With the Lumberg Automation brand’s new eight-pole M8 actuator/sensor connectors, it is now possible to transmit up to eight signals with only one connector using an external power supply. This is particularly advantageous when connecting optoelectronic sensors or safety switches in applications such as monitoring safety doors on machinery and equipment.
　

The product range offers an ideal solution for virtually every installation scenario. The connectors are available in molded cable versions as well as receptacles and inserts. All models are suitable for use in temperature ranges from -25°C to +80°C and when connected to their respective counterparts are compliant with IP 67 protection standards.
　

The molded connectors have an open cable end, allowing the connection of sensors or actuators to switch cabinets or distribution boxes while ensuring a high degree of wiring flexibility. The male connector is equipped with a snap-in/threaded joint and the female connector has a self-locking threaded joint.
The receptacle connector RSMF 8/0.5 M has stranded wires, solder contacts, and a potted housing. These receptacles are ideally suited for use in switch cabinets or other machinery equipment. Conversely, the RSMEDG 8 is ideally suited for installation in sensors and is easy to install by means of a snap-in/threaded joint. An additional plug insert (RSEM 8) is available for various sensor housings that already have an M8 thread and/or snap-in joint. The housings of receptacle connectors are made of nickel-plated brass (RSMF 8/0.5 M and RSMEDG 8) or polyamide (RSEM 8).
