Overview

The TE Connectivity 4-Position Circular Connector (SKU: 3-2172091-2) is a precision-engineered wire-to-panel signal connector designed for reliable electrical connectivity in industrial automation, instrumentation, and control systems. Constructed from a durable zinc alloy base with nickel plating, this M8 connector delivers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in harsh operating environments. The reverse gender configuration enables flexible installation options, allowing the connector to function as either a male or female interface depending on system requirements. The panel mount design simplifies integration into control panels and equipment enclosures, while the sealable construction provides IP67-rated protection against dust, moisture, and contaminants. With a compact A-coded M8 interface, this connector supports high-speed signal transmission while maintaining consistent electrical performance across a wide temperature range. The 4-position configuration accommodates multiple signal lines in a single compact housing, reducing wiring complexity and installation time. Compatible with standard M8 cable assemblies, this connector is ideal for applications requiring reliable signal integrity in factory automation, process control, and industrial networking systems. The nickel-plated zinc alloy construction ensures long-term durability in outdoor installations, chemical exposure environments, and high-vibration applications. TE Connectivity's A-coded M8 design provides compatibility with industry-standard mating connectors while maintaining IP67 sealing performance. This connector meets UNSPSC code 39121413 for industrial electrical connectors and is manufactured in the United States.
