360 degree shielded cable connectors

In modern automation systems, the demand for compact, interference-resistant connection solutions continues to grow. binder is expanding its existing M8 portfolio with molded, 360 degree shielded signal connectors.

360 degree shielded cable connectors

The new M8 male and female cable connector are the ideal solution for transmitting signals reliably and interference-free from sensors to control units - even in EMC-critical environments.

binder's proven shielding concept ensures a completely closed 360 degree shield that effectively minimises electromagnetic interference. Users benefit from secure, uninterrupted signal transmission, even in demanding industrial environments. Thanks to their robust, industry-grade design, the connectors offer high vibration resistance, ensuring maximum operational reliability - even under continuous load.

Compact design for flexible integration

The compact M8 connectors are particularly suitable for installations with limited space, as often found in robotics, mechanical engineering and measurement and testing technology. Their small size enables the efficient and space-saving realisation of complex sensor-actuator networks. The new versions are available with 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 pins, with customer-specific cable lengths, and are fully compatible with standard M8 interfaces according to IEC 61076-2-104.

With the new redesign of the 360 degree shielded M8 female cable connector, binder focuses on a modern, functional design. The flat surface prevents dust and dirt accumulation in the grip area - a clear advantage for applications with high cleanliness and maintenance requirements.

Proven concept, trusted quality

"With the redesigned 360 degree shielded M8 female cable connector and the 360 degree shielded M8 male cable connector, we can offer our customers our best shielding concept for interference-free signal transmission," explains Mr. Werner, Product Manager at binder.

"The new design and shielding concept have already proven themselves in the field with our M8 data connectors featuring D-coding, and have been successfully used for years. I am convinced that the future of our electromechanical circular connectors in automation will be data-driven, hybrid, and smart - and that shielded versions will play an increasingly important role," he emphasises.

Robust, durable and versatile

binder's M8 connectors are designed for harsh industrial environments. With IP67 protection, they resist dust, moisture, and vibrations. Various flange socket and plug versions allow easy integration into existing systems. With this new product family, binder covers a wide range of applications - from manufacturing and automation technology to robotics, compact drive units, and sensitive measurement systems.
