Overview

The TE Connectivity 8-Position M12 Circular Connector (SKU: 2358992-2) is a hermetically sealed, cable-to-cable signal connector designed for harsh industrial environments where reliable signal transmission is critical. Constructed with nickel-plated copper alloy contacts and a durable nylon housing, this connector delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring long-term performance in demanding applications. Key specifications include an 8-position A-coded configuration, M12 series compatibility, and a hermetically sealed design that protects against moisture, dust, and contaminants. The connector is ideal for automation, industrial control systems, and data communication networks where signal integrity must be maintained under extreme conditions. Its reverse gender design allows for flexible cable-to-cable connections, while the nickel and copper alloy construction ensures low contact resistance and high durability. The M12 series is a globally recognized standard for industrial circular connectors, offering compatibility with a wide range of TE Connectivity and third-party M12 components. This connector is particularly well-suited for applications requiring IP67 or higher environmental protection, such as factory automation, robotics, and outdoor industrial equipment. The A-coded configuration ensures proper alignment and prevents mismating with other M12 codes, reducing installation errors and improving system reliability. For engineers and procurement professionals, this connector provides a proven solution that meets stringent industry standards, including UL, CE, and RoHS compliance. Its robust construction and sealable design make it a cost-effective choice for both new installations and retrofit projects in industrial networking, sensor interfacing, and machine-to-machine communication systems.
