Turck RKC8T3 Eurofast SingleEnded M12 Cordset

Turck's RKC 8T-3 Eurofast Single-Ended Cordset (U-5311-91) is a 3 m M12 female, straight, A-Coded 8-pin to flying-lead cordset designed for reliable multi-signal transmission between sensors, actuators, encoders, vision systems, remote I/O modules, and PLC-based automation systems. It uses 8 × 24 AWG conductors in a Gray PVC jacket with a 5.69 mm cable diameter, rated for 75 V and 2 A, featuring gold-plated brass contacts, a yellow TPU connector body, and a nickel-plated brass coupling nut. The assembly provides IP68/IP69K protection when mated and supports NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6P, with static operating temperatures from -40°C to +105°C and a mechanical life greater than 100 mating cycles. Standards compliance includes IEC 61076-2-101, UL 2238, CSA C22.2 No. 182.3, as well as CE, UKCA, and RoHS. Common applications involve connecting 8-pin M12 sensors, encoders, vision systems, remote I/O modules, valve manifolds, and PLCs in automotive manufacturing, packaging machinery, material handling, food and beverage processing facilities, and general process automation equipment. Maintenance technicians, OEM machine builders, and system integrators use this cordset for equipment replacement, machine wiring, automation retrofits, and control system expansion.
