Product Information
Full details
The Phoenix Contact 1506888 is an M8 sensor/actuator socket connector designed for rugged field applications. It offers a reliable screw termination for secure connections and an IP67 rating for protection against dust and water. While it provides robust connectivity, its M8 size may limit the gauge of wires it can accommodate.

FAQs
What does IP67 mean?
IP67 signifies that the connector is dust-tight and protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes).
Can I use this with a B-coded sensor?
No, this connector is A-coded and will only mate with M8 A-coded male connectors to prevent incorrect connections.
What is the maximum wire gauge this connector supports?
The connector is designed for an external cable diameter of 3.5 mm to 5 mm. The specific wire gauge depends on the insulation thickness within this range.
What type of termination does this connector use?
This connector uses a classic screw termination for connecting individual conductors.
Is this connector suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, its IP67 rating makes it well-suited for many outdoor applications where protection against dust and water is required.
How do I ensure a watertight seal?
Ensure the cable is correctly inserted into the housing and the housing is screwed on tightly. Check that the cable outer diameter is within the specified range (3.5 mm - 5 mm).
Troubleshooting
Connection is intermittent or failing.
Check that all conductors are securely fastened in the screw terminals. Ensure the cable is properly seated in the connector housing and the housing is tightly screwed. Verify that the mating connector is clean and undamaged.
Water ingress is suspected.
Inspect the connector and cable entry for any damage. Ensure the housing is fully tightened. If damage is found, the connector should be replaced.
Difficulty inserting wires into screw terminals.
Ensure the wire strands are neatly twisted and not frayed. Trim excess wire if necessary. Verify the wire gauge is within the connector's specified range (3.5 mm - 5 mm external cable diameter).
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High degree of protection (IP67) for demanding environments.
- Flexible on-site assembly and installation.
- Proven and reliable screw connection technology.
- Prevents miss-mating with A-coding.
Cons
- M8 connector size may limit wire gauge compatibility.
- Screw termination requires basic tooling for installation.
- Not suitable for applications requiring higher IP ratings than IP67.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual conductors.
- Unscrew the connector housing.
- Insert each conductor into its corresponding screw terminal (refer to coding). Ensure no stray wire strands are present.
- Tighten the screw terminals securely.
- Reassemble the connector housing, ensuring a tight seal.
- Connect the socket to the M8 plug on the sensor or actuator.
Compatibility:
- This is an M8 A-coded female socket connector.
- It is compatible with standard M8 A-coded male plugs.
- Suitable for cable diameters ranging from 3.5 mm to 5 mm.
- The screw termination is compatible with a variety of conductor types within appropriate gauge limits.
Care:
- To clean, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodically inspect the connector for any signs of physical damage or contamination.
- Ensure the connection is properly tightened to maintain the IP67 rating.
