Overview

Brad Harrison 8A5000-31 is a Micro-Change® M12 single keyway (A-coded) straight female connector with 5 poles, engineered for secure cable termination in industrial automation, process control, and machinery interconnects. This connector features a robust nickel-plated brass housing with a single keyway for precise mating alignment, reducing installation errors and downtime in high-vibration environments. The PG7 cable fitting accommodates cable diameters from 3.30mm to 6.60mm, supporting standard industrial wiring schemes for power, signal, and data lines. The 5-pole configuration (white, brown, green, yellow, gray) ensures compatibility with Brad Harrison’s Micro-Change® line of connectors and accessories, including cordsets and receptacles. With IP67/68 protection, this connector meets NEMA 6 standards for harsh environments, including exposure to cutting fluids, oils, and moderate flexing. The straight female design simplifies panel mounting and cable routing in tight spaces, while the gold-over-nickel-plated copper alloy contacts provide reliable, low-resistance connections. Ideal for factory automation, robotics, and sensor/actuator interconnects where vibration-resistant, durable connections are critical. Compatible with PVC, PUR, and TPE cable jackets, this connector supports 22-24 AWG wire sizes and operates at up to 250V AC/DC with a maximum current of 4.0A per contact. The single keyway (A-coding) ensures intermatability with 3-, 4-, and 5-pole Micro-Change® connectors, offering flexibility in system design.
