Number of contacts
This indicates the number of contacts the connector has.
Locking Type
The locking system describes how the pin and socket elements are joined.
  • 7/8"7/8″ is an American unit of measure. In the case of connectors, it refers to the size of the locking thread.
Degree of protection
The degrees of protection according to IEC60529 apply to various articles and provide information on protection against the intrusion of water and solids such as dust.
  • IP67Fully protects against touch and against the intrusion of dust. Protects against water intrusion in temporary immersion (depth: 1 m; duration: 30 minutes).
  • IP68Fully protects against touch and against the intrusion of dust. Protects against water intrusion in sustained submersion (depth: 2 m; duration: 24 hours), requirements specification by agreement between producer and user.
Version
The choice of version allows the definition of certain technical specifications – for example the type of cable outlet or the size.
Connector Type
Connectors are differentiated by installation type: those that are mounted in a device housing (panel mount) and those that are attached to cables.
  • Cable mountingConnectors with cable already moulded or for self-assembly.
  • Housing assemblyConnectors that can be mounted to device housings. These can be fixed by means of a locking nut or be screwed in (requires a threaded hole).
Shielded Option
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) means that a connector is shielded or shieldable. This is required when it is necessary to protect the signals or data conducted by the connector, as well as to protect external devices, from disturbance due to electromagnetic effects.
Product segment
binder areas of application or type of connector.
  • Automation TechnologyAdvancing digitisation and current manufacturing technologies make possible ever smaller and more high-performance elements in the areas of sensor technology and networking. Here, sensor technology means the detection of physical values and their conversion into electric values. These electric values are converted into a digital signal that can be transmitted by means of bus communication to other bus devices. This will make automated production more modular and flexible in the future, with a preference for standardised connectors like the models M8 and M12. The worldwide availability of the connectors and their adaptation to a broad range of applications have already led to numerous versions, e.g. codings.
Termination
The termination type determines how cables, single wires or PCBs can be joined with the connector.
  • pluggableAdapters or distributors that are joined with a connector on each side. The version and locking system may vary for the different terminations.
  • screw clampThe wires in a cable are pressed in the contact element radially by means of a screw, establishing the electrical contact.
  • single wiresConnectors with contacts attached to individual wires ex factory. These can then be connected individually.
  • solderThe contact and the individual wires of a cable are connected using solder.

These 7/8 inch connectors with screw locking of the 820/870 series are available as a self-terminating variant with screw terminal connection or as pre-assembled cable connectors with straight or angled cable outlet. They comply with protection class IP67/IP68 . 2+PE, 3+PE and 4+PE contacts are available Flange connectors for housing installation with stranded and dip solder connection complete the portfolio. Furthermore, the series is UL-approved.
