Turck RKC 6T-5/S618 Eurofast Single-Ended Cordset

The Turck RKC 6T-5/S618 Eurofast Single-Ended Cordset (U5311-65) is a 5-meter shielded M12 6-pin cordset designed for reliable sensor and actuator connections in PLC-based automation. The fixed end is M12 Female, Straight, A-Coded, 6-Pin, while the opposite end uses Flying Leads (Pigtail) for quick terminations. It employs a Gray PVC jacket over a Shielded General Purpose Cable (S618) with aluminum/polyester foil shielding and a 26 AWG tinned copper drain wire (drain not connected). Conductors are 6 × 24 AWG, and the cable diameter is 5.13 mm. Rated for 30 VAC / 36 VDC and 2 A, it features gold-plated brass contacts and a nickel-plated brass coupling nut, with the connector body formed in TPU. When mated, this cordset delivers IP68/IP69K protection (NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6P) and is rated for over 100 mating cycles, with an operating temperature down to -40°C (cold bend rated). It complies with IEC 61076-2-101, UL 2238, CSA FT1, UL1061, CE, and RoHS. Use it to connect 6-pin M12 sensors, actuators, encoders, valve manifolds, remote I/O modules, and PLCs in automotive manufacturing, packaging machinery, conveyors, food and beverage processing, and other industrial process-control applications requiring shielded, noise-resistant signal transmission. Common replacements include Turck RKC 6T-2/S618, RKC 6T-6/S618, and RKC 6T-10/S618.
