In a world where systems are increasingly interconnected and equipment is becoming miniaturized, efficiency and simplicity are key. Phoenix Contact, a leader in connection solutions, introduces M8 connectors with Push-Lock technology, designed to offer safe, intuitive and tool-free wiring. This innovation marks a before and after for connecting copper conductors, especially in environments where space is limited.
Forget about wiring complications
Traditionally, connecting conductors involved the use of solder, Allen keys or even the ability to hold the conductor and tools in place at the same time. With the M8 Push-Lock connectors, this is a thing of the past. Thanks to their compact design and tool-free connection system, installation is faster, more precise and more convenient, even for rigid or flexible conductors with or without ferrules.

Simpler and more intuitive connection
Save time and avoid connection errors. With the M8 Push-Lock connectors you can connect rigid and flexible conductors with and without ferrules conveniently and without tools. The clamping chambers are opened and closed with a lever. The color and number coding of the contact supports allows for direct assignment of the conductors.

Space-saving installation
The trend towards miniaturization also continues in field and network cabling. Whether it is connecting compact sensors or transmitting data and signals from small devices, for connection technology this means that connectors must become ever smaller, more powerful and more reliable. The M8 Push-Lock connector is one third smaller than the M12 connector. It offers significant space savings with the same reliable industrial properties.

Future-proof cabling
With the increasing requirements in automation, the demand for cabling solutions in areas with IP protection is also growing. Whether in terms of transmission properties or ease of installation, connection technology is constantly improving. Thanks to M8 Push-Lock connectors for future-proof data transmission with PROFINET or Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), it is now also possible to flexibly determine the cable length in this area.

Save time and money with future-proof wiring
The All Electric Society focuses on the fields of electrification, networking and automation. In this context, simple and error-free wiring of machines and systems is becoming increasingly important and the need for future-proof plug-in connections is constantly increasing. Tool-free connectors and wiring solutions increase efficiency during installation and are therefore an essential cornerstone for achieving the All Electric Society.
Its advantages

Push-Lock technology allows simple, tool-free connection of rigid and flexible conductors with and without ferrules.

Intuitive conductor connection is allowed through the numerical and color coding of the contact levers.

30% smaller than an M12 connector, the compact design of M8 Push-Lock connectors offers significant space savings.

Firm and reliable connection thanks to high conductor extraction forces with proven spring technology.

Safe operation thanks to a long-term stable and vibration-resistant PE connection and 360º shielding.


It is important to highlight
- Quick and easy assembly: Eliminate the need for tools and reduce installation time.
- Intuitive connection: The connection areas are coded with numbers and colors, making it easy to assign conductors correctly.
- Compact design: Up to 33% smaller than M12 connectors, allowing for significant space savings without sacrificing performance.
In industrial applications, where space and efficiency are essential, M8 Push-Lock connectors are positioned as an ideal solution. The innovative design allows flexible wiring in compact sensors, actuators and equipment, meeting the needs of today’s decentralized systems. Now, with M8 Push-Lock connectors, connection is more intuitive, fast and efficient, ensuring high performance even in the most demanding environments.
