Phoenix Contact SACC-M 8FS-3QO-0,25-M M8 Female Field-Attachable Connector, 8-Pin A-Coded, QUICKON IDC, IP67 1441040

On a busy packaging line, a sensor cable gets snagged and the connector is damaged. Instead of replacing the entire cable, a technician reaches for the Phoenix Contact SACC-M 8FS-3QO-0,25-M. This field-attachable M8 female connector lets you quickly terminate a new cable end on the spot, minimizing downtime. With QUICKON insulation displacement technology, no special tools are needed—just strip the conductors, insert, and close. The 8-pin A-coded design is ideal for industrial sensors and actuators using standard M8 interfaces. Its IP67 rating ensures reliable performance in wet or dusty environments, while the robust PA 6.6 housing withstands harsh conditions. Whether you're building custom cable assemblies or repairing existing ones, this connector offers a fast, secure connection every time.
