FAQs

How can I interpret the threading on an M5 connector?

M series connectors utilize metric thread coupling mechanisims to obtain an IP67 rating when in a mated position. The threading for the M5 series is denoted as M5x0.5, meaning the major diameter of the threads is 5 mm, and the pitch between threads is 0.5mm.

How is M-series classified under IEC 61076?

The IEC 61076 standard is used to classify the form factor of connectors, including those in the M-series. All Tensility M-series connectors adhere to the IEC 61076 standard, ensuring compatibility with all other M-series IEC 61076 connectors in the market.

What is the significance of the A code in the M5 series?

The A code in the M5 series is significant as it represents a specific type of connector used in automation and robotics applications. The A code connectors are commonly utilized as sensors or actuators, and they can also supply dc power. These connectors meet the electrical requirements and physical dimensions set by IEC 61076, which enables engineers to choose components that meet their design specifications with confidence, reducing the risk of electrical failure at the component level. By utilizing connector coding, proper connections can be ensured between devices, further increasing the reliability and efficiency of the automation and robotics systems.
