1405845

Overview

Phoenix Contact part number 1405845 is a sensor cable assembly designed for industrial automation environments. It features an M12 male connector on one end and an M12 female connector on the other, providing eight positions with A-coding to ensure correct mating orientation. The cable utilizes black PVC insulation and jacketing, offering flexibility and durability for standard factory floor applications. Electrical specifications include a current rating of 4 A and voltage ratings of 48 VAC or 60 VDC. The wire gauge is specified as 24 AWG. Available lengths range from 200 mm up to 40 m, allowing for customized installation distances within control systems.

Feature Summary

• M12 connector configuration with male and female ends for direct device interfacing
• Eight-position A-coding ensures secure and polarity-correct connections
• Black PVC construction provides mechanical protection and environmental resistance

Applications

• Connecting sensors to PLC input modules in automated machinery
• Linking actuators to controller outputs in industrial process systems
• Signal transmission between field devices and I/O stations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific cable length required for your installation, as this part number represents a configurable series where length determines the exact ordering suffix. Confirm that the M12 A-coded 8-pin interface matches your existing equipment connectors. Ensure the 4 A current rating and 48 VAC/60 VDC voltage limits are sufficient for your application load. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or limited availability status before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an M12 to M12 connection is required with eight signal lines. The A-coding is critical for preventing mismatched connections in multi-pin setups. Consider the PVC material properties regarding temperature ranges and chemical exposure compared to PUR alternatives if harsher conditions exist. Verify that the 24 AWG wire gauge meets the voltage drop requirements for the selected cable length.

Part Context

This product belongs to Phoenix Contact's SAC series of sensor and actuator cables. These assemblies are standardized components used extensively in industrial automation to bridge the gap between field devices and control cabinets. The M12 interface is a widely adopted standard for robust connectivity in demanding manufacturing environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Phoenix Contact SAC-8P-M12MS-M12FS variants with different jacket materials or colors. Cross-brand replacements must match the M12 8-pin A-coded geometry and electrical ratings exactly.
