SP20/SD20 Right-Angle Docking Connector Dimensions and Materials
M8 3-Pin Straight and Right Angle Molded Cable Assemblies
The M8 3-pin molded cable assembly provides a compact, dependable connection for industrial sensors, actuators, and control devices. Available in straight and right-angle configurations, this connector supports flexible routing in tight equipment layouts while the overmolded strain relief protects the termination point from vibration and repeated flexing.

The 24AWG conductors deliver stable signal transmission for typical automation loads, and the choice of PVC or PUR jacket lets you match flexibility, abrasion resistance, and chemical exposure to your operating environment. This assembly suits sensor systems, PLC I/O points, and factory production lines where space is limited and connection reliability is critical.
Selection Considerations for M8 3-Pin Assemblies
Before ordering, confirm the mating connector gender and pinout, the required cable length, and whether a straight or right-angle exit fits your installation. The right-angle version reduces strain on the cable in confined panels, while the straight version is often simpler to route in open areas.
- Choose PUR jacket for applications with oil, coolant, or frequent flexing; choose PVC for general-purpose indoor use.
- Verify the mating connector's thread size and coding to ensure a secure, correct fit.
- Confirm the conductor count and pin assignment match your device's wiring diagram.
- Specify the exact cable length needed to avoid excess slack or tension at the connection point.
Construction and Durability
The overmolded cable joint distributes bending stress away from the solder or crimp terminations, reducing the risk of intermittent signals in moving machinery. The compact M8 housing is suited for high-density installations where larger connectors cannot fit.

Application Fit and Boundaries
This connector is appropriate for dry indoor environments such as control cabinets, conveyor systems, and packaging machinery. It is not intended for submersion, high-pressure washdown zones, or applications requiring continuous flexing beyond the cable's rated bend radius. For wet or outdoor installations, confirm the IP rating of the complete assembly with our engineering team before ordering.
