Hi,

I have been pulling my hair out trying to find the answer to this.

Omron and siemens (maybe other companys) use a for pin plug and socket on a lot of their Photocells. (omron esz-d87) Does anyone know if this plug type has a name or specific standard. Im looking for a wireable, panel mountable socket. I have looked every where and cannot seem to find the exact type.

Any help will be greatly recieved

Look up M8 & M12 circular connectors. Murrelektronik, Brad Harrison and Pepperl & Fuchs are examples. Try the following link:

They do go to great lengths to avoid any standards or commonality. Still, someone makes it for them.

All sensor companies I have come across, and there have been a lot. All offer the same 'STANDARD' M12 and M8 connectors, same for all sensors photo electric, prox switches, pressure switches. You can buy them anywhere!!!

R.S / Schneider / Brad Harrison / Balluff / Baumer they are industrial standard cables.
