Cordset · 5-pin 7/8 in female straight, 2 m cable, 16 AWG, IP67/IP68/IP69K · Turck RKM56-2M
Single-ended actuator and sensor cordset with a straight 7/8 in-16 UN female connector, 5 contacts, and 2 m (6.6 ft) yellow PVC cable. Commonly used for industrial machine wiring where 600 V, 10 A, oil resistance, sunlight resistance, and sealed connection performance are required.
What this product is for
This cordset is used to connect sensors, actuators, and field devices in industrial control and automation systems. It is a single-ended 5-pin 7/8 in female straight cordset with a 2 m (6.6 ft) flexible service cable for machine and equipment wiring.
Use for
Use for actuator and sensor connections, machine interconnects, and replacement cordsets where a 7/8 in-16 UN female 5-pin interface is required. Suitable where installers need a yellow PVC jacket, 5 x 16 AWG conductors, 600 V rating, and environmental sealing when mated.
Avoid for
Avoid for applications that require a different pin count, a male connector, an angled connector body, or a different cable length. Confirm mating thread, pin configuration, and current requirements before ordering.
Best for
Best for OEM panels, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, and factory machinery where a pre-moulded cordset helps reduce field termination time and supports consistent sensor-actuator connections.
Installed in
Commonly installed in manufacturing lines, process equipment, material handling systems, and industrial skids. The 2 m (6.6 ft) length is typically chosen for short equipment runs or local device drops.
Why this product exists
This cordset provides a ready-made connection cable for faster installation and repeatable wiring in industrial environments. Compared with field-wired alternatives, pre-moulded cordsets are commonly used to reduce wiring errors and speed device replacement.
Compared with similar products
Compared with longer cordsets, this 2 m version is better suited to compact machine layouts and shorter routing paths. Compared with bare cable or field-wireable connectors, it offers a factory-assembled connection with published ingress protection ratings when coupled. Actual suitability depends on mating hardware, routing, and installation conditions.
