FAQ
- Q: How does M8 compare to M12? A: M8 uses an M8 × 1.0 mm thread (about half the size of M12). It's ideal for space-constrained mini-sensors. M8 carries lower current (typically ≤3A) compared to some M12 power variants.
- Q: Are M8 connectors compatible across brands? A: M8 A-coded 3-pin and 4-pin follow IEC 61076-2-104 dimensions. They are mechanically interchangeable with standard M8 A-coded connectors from other manufacturers.
- Q: Do you offer right-angle M8? A: Yes — MR (male RA) and FR (female RA) options are available. Confirm panel clearance before specifying right-angle.
