CUI Introduces M5 Circular Connectors for Industrial Applications

CUI Devices, a leading provider of electronic components, has recently announced the addition of M5 connectors and M5 cable assemblies to its extensive product range. The new CDM5 family offers a variety of options, including male or female jack or plug versions with 3 or 4 pins, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

One of the key features of the CDM5 family is its compatibility with 1Gbit/s Ethernet, thanks to its A coded connectors. Additionally, these connectors and cables are designed to withstand harsh environments typically found in industrial and factory automation applications, with an IP67 rating once mated.

The panel-mount models of the CDM5 family come with either PCB pin or wire terminations, providing flexibility for different installation requirements. They are available with either M5 x 0.5 or M5 x 0.75 threads, allowing for easy integration into existing systems.

For cable assemblies, customers have the option to choose between PVC or PUR jackets, depending on their specific needs. The assemblies also feature copper alloy screw terminals and are available in straight or right-angle orientations. Cable lengths of 1, 2, or 3 meters are available to accommodate various installation setups.

The CDM5 connectors and cable assemblies are designed to operate in a wide temperature range, from -25 to +80°C. They can handle up to 60Vac and 1A, and are capable of withstanding up to 600Vac. In addition to the standard 'A' coding, CUI Devices can also produce connectors with other coding options to meet specific customer requirements.
