Engineered for industrial automation, this custom M8 male 3-pin cable assembly features a rugged, overmolded design ensuring IP67 waterproof protection. Kaweei provides tailored solutions with customizable cable lengths and jacket materials (PVC/PUR), delivering reliable power and signal transmission for sensors, actuators, and fieldbus modules in harsh factory environments.

Rugged Connectivity for Factory Automation

Kaweei specializes in manufacturing industrial-grade M8 circular connector assemblies. Unlike standard off-the-shelf cables that come in fixed lengths, we produce custom-length harnesses designed to fit your specific machine layout. Our assembly process focuses on robust overmolding and precision termination to ensure IP67-rated protection against dust and moisture.

Component Spec Technical Detail Kaweei Assembly Value
Connector Interface M8 Male (3-Pin) Coding Compliance: We adhere to standard A-coding (or B-coding upon request) standards, ensuring our custom assembly mates perfectly with standard industrial sensors and I/O blocks.
Waterproof Design IP67 / IP68 Rated Overmolding Expertise: We utilize advanced injection molding (overmolding) technology to seal the connection between the cable and the connector body, creating a seamless barrier against liquids.
Cable Selection PVC / PUR Jacket Material Sourcing: We source the right cable for your environment. We recommend PVC for standard assembly lines and PUR (Polyurethane) for oil-resistant and high-flex applications.
Customization Variable Lengths Exact Fit: Eliminate coiled-up excess cable. We manufacture the assembly to your exact required length (e.g., 0.3m, 5.5m), optimizing cable management on your machine.
Contact Quality Gold-Plated Brass We inspect crimp and solder joints to ensure low contact resistance, guaranteeing stable signal transmission for sensitive proximity switches and photoelectric sensors.

Why Custom Assembly for M8 Cables?

Standard cables often fail in unique industrial setups. Kaweei provides a tailored alternative:

  • Wiring Flexibility: While standard M8 cables follow brown/blue/black color codes, we can customize the internal wiring pinout to match non-standard proprietary equipment.
  • Tail Options: We can terminate the other end of the M8 cable with blunt cuts (stripped & tinned), crimp terminals, or another connector (like M12 or DB9) to create hybrid adapters.
  • Durability Testing: Every waterproof assembly undergoes testing to ensure the integrity of the overmold and the continuity of the pins before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PVC and PUR cables for this M8 assembly?

The choice depends on your application environment. We recommend PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for general-purpose applications in dry or damp areas as it is cost-effective. We recommend PUR (Polyurethane) for harsh industrial environments, as it offers superior resistance to cutting fluids, oils, and continuous flexing (drag chains).

Is the pinout of your M8 3-pin cable standard?

By default, we follow the industry-standard IEC 61076-2-104 pinout for 3-pin sensor cables (typically Pin 1-Brown, Pin 3-Blue, Pin 4-Black). However, as a custom harness manufacturer, we can wire the pins according to any specific schematic you require for your equipment.

Can you leave the other end of the cable open (flying leads)?

Yes. A very common configuration is an 'M8 single-ended cordset.' We can leave the non-connector end as a blunt cut, or strip and tin the wires (5mm or custom length) so they are ready to be wired directly into your terminal blocks or PLC inputs.
