IFM EVC004 M12X1 Female Angled 4-Pin 2M PUR Cable Industrial Connector

Description

Product Overview

The IFM EVC004 M12X1 connector cable is engineered for demanding industrial applications where reliability and durability are paramount. Featuring a 4‑pin female angled connector, the cable offers a secure mating interface that resists accidental disengagement while allowing flexible routing around obstacles. The 2‑meter length provides ample reach for most sensor and actuator installations, and the polyurethane (PUR) jacket delivers superior resistance to abrasion, oil, chemicals, and temperature extremes, extending service life even in harsh environments.

Designed to meet IEC standards for M12X1 connectors, this cable supports high‑speed data transmission and power delivery, making it suitable for a wide range of automation tasks, including PLC I/O connections, fieldbus networks, and safety‑critical sensor loops. The connector’s 90‑degree angled profile reduces cable strain at the entry point, improving overall system reliability and simplifying panel layout. With a compact form factor and robust construction, the EVC004 is a versatile solution for both new installations and retrofits.

Manufactured by IFM, a recognized leader in sensor and automation technology, the cable undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure consistent performance across batches. The PUR sheath is engineered to maintain flexibility down to low temperatures, allowing easy handling during installation without compromising the protective properties. This combination of mechanical strength and electrical integrity makes the EVC004 an ideal choice for factories, processing plants, and any setting where uptime is critical.

Usage

In modern manufacturing facilities, the EVC004 cable is frequently employed to connect proximity sensors, flow meters, and pneumatic actuators to programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Its angled female connector fits neatly into tight panel spaces, enabling clean cable management and reducing the risk of cable damage during routine maintenance. The 2‑meter length is optimal for routing between control cabinets and field devices, eliminating the need for additional splices or extensions.

Beyond traditional automation, the cable excels in applications such as robotic arms, conveyor systems, and safety interlock circuits where rapid response and reliable signal integrity are essential. The PUR jacket’s resistance to oil and chemicals makes it suitable for use in food processing, chemical handling, and automotive assembly lines, where exposure to contaminants is common. Additionally, the cable can be employed in outdoor enclosures when paired with appropriate sealing, thanks to its robust construction.

For technicians, the cable’s clear labeling and standardized M12X1 interface simplify troubleshooting and replacement. The angled design minimizes the need for additional strain relief components, speeding up installation and reducing overall system cost. Whether used in new equipment builds or as a replacement part in legacy systems, the EVC004 provides a dependable connection that meets the rigorous demands of industrial automation.

FAQ

What is the maximum current rating for the EVC004 cable?

The cable is rated for up to 2 A continuous current per pin, which is suitable for most sensor and actuator applications. For higher‑power devices, consult the IFM technical data sheet to verify compatibility.

Can the cable be used in outdoor environments?

While the PUR jacket provides excellent resistance to moisture and chemicals, the cable is intended for indoor use or protected outdoor enclosures. When used outdoors, ensure the connector is sealed with an appropriate M12X1 gland to maintain ingress protection.

Is the cable compatible with other M12 connector types?

The EVC004 uses the M12X1 standard, which is compatible with other M12 devices that share the same keying and pin configuration. However, it is not interchangeable with M12X2 or M12X3 connectors, which have different keying and electrical characteristics.

How does the PUR jacket improve cable longevity?

Polyurethane (PUR) offers a balance of flexibility and toughness. It protects the conductors from mechanical wear, chemical exposure, and temperature fluctuations, reducing the likelihood of cracks or insulation breakdown over the cable’s service life.

What support does IFM provide for installation?

IFM supplies detailed installation manuals, wiring diagrams, and online resources. Our technical support team is available to answer questions, assist with custom wiring solutions, and ensure the cable integrates smoothly into your system.
