Based on the part number **M8YV-C4W4W-R**, this follows the standard nomenclature for the **M8 series** of circular industrial connectors, specifically those manufactured by companies like **TE Connectivity**, **Molex**, or **Phoenix Contact** (often associated with sensor/actuator cabling). Below is a breakdown of the electronic and mechanical specifications typical for this part code. --- ### 1. Part Number Specification Table | Segment | Component Feature | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **M8** | Connector Size | Metric 8mm thread diameter (M8). | | **YV** | Coding/Type | Often indicates **Y-splitter** or specific **PVC** jacket material. | | **C4** | Pin Count | **4-Pin** configuration (Standard for sensors). | | **W4W** | Orientation | Angled (Right-angle) male/female connectors on both ends. | | **R** | Special Feature | Often denotes **RoHS compliance** or **Right-angle** housing. | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Characteristics * **Current Rating:** Typically **3A to 4A** per contact. * **Voltage Rating:** Usually **30V to 60V AC/DC** (Standard for M8 4-pin). * **Insulation Resistance:** $\geq 100\,M\Omega$. * **Contact Resistance:** $\leq 5\,m\Omega$. * **Shielding:** Generally unshielded (unless specified by an "S" suffix), suitable for standard I/O signals. --- ### 3. Mechanical & Environmental Features 1. **Ingress Protection (IP Rating):** Designed to meet **IP67** or **IP68** standards, making it waterproof and dust-tight when properly mated. 2. **Coupling Mechanism:** Threaded nut (M8 x 1.0) providing high vibration resistance. 3. **Cable Jacket (V):** The "V" in the code typically signifies **PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)**, which is ideal for static applications with medium mechanical stress and resistance to chemicals. 4. **Temperature Range:** $-25^\circ C$ to $+85^\circ C$. --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Industrial Automation:** Connecting proximity sensors, photoelectric switches, and limit switches. * **Robotics:** End-of-arm tooling where space is limited. * **PLCs:** Signal transmission between the controller and field devices. ---
