Universal M8 and M12 connector (suitable for Pt100)
These field mountable industrial connectors can be used with our M8 RTD, M12 RTD, M8 & M12 thermocouple extension cables or with smart Omega Link probes SP-xxx series. The M12 connectors feature convinient screw terminal style pins or sockets eliminating the need for solder connections in the field. The M8 connectors feature solder-cup style connections due to the limited space available.
The field mountable connectors are available in four configurations:
- Right Angled Recepticles (M12-R-F-FM)
- Straight Recepticles (M12-S-F-FM)
- Right Angled Plugs (M12-R-M-FM)
- Straight Plugs (M12-S-M-FM)
Specificatons and Materials:
- Rotating threaded connecting nuts are plated brass
- Molded housings are black nylon
- Pins and Sockets are plated brass
- Temperatue Range: -25 to 85°C
- M12 Connectors Have Screw Connections for Wire Attachment.
- M12 Connector Cable Requirement: #18 to #24AWG Conductors, 4 to 6mm Cable OD
- M8 Connectors Have Solder Connections for Wire Attachment
- M8 Connector Cable Requirement: #24AWG Conductors, 4 to 6mm Cable OD

How is Temperature Measured?
Temperature can be measured via a diverse array of sensors. All of them infer temperature by sensing some change in a physical characteristic. Six types with which the engineer is likely to come into contact are: thermocouples, resistive temperature devices (RTDs Pt100 and thermistors), infrared radiators, bimetallic devices, liquid expansion devices, and change-of-state devices.
