Field-wireable

Field-Wireable Connectors for Custom Cable Assembly

Field-wireable connectors allow you to create customized cable assemblies on-site—no special tools or soldering required. Unlike preassembled connectors or makeshift cable ends, field-wireable connectors offer professional-grade results with a clean finish. Murrelektronik provides a broad range of solutions for signal, power, and data connections, making it easy to tailor your wiring setup to meet industrial demands with precision and reliability.

Flexible Wiring Solutions with Multiple Termination Styles

To meet diverse application requirements, field-wireable connectors are available in several termination types:

• IDC (Insulation Displacement Connection)
• Screw terminals
• Solder contacts
• Push-pull connection
• Heavy-duty quick connect systems

IDC connectors allow quick termination by simply inserting stripped wires into the terminal, where metal blades automatically penetrate the insulation to establish a reliable electrical connection. Screw terminals are reusable and require minimal preparation—no stripping needed in many cases. For those seeking a classic method, solder terminals ensure a solid, permanent bond. Push-pull connectors are ideal for multi-core cable assemblies and ensure high retention force. Heavy-duty options are perfect for robust, high-load environments such as industrial Ethernet or power distribution.

M8 and M12 Field-Wireable Connectors

Murrelektronik offers M8 and M12 field-wireable connectors in multiple configurations for signal, power, and data applications. Whether you're assembling sensor cables, actuator wiring, or IO-Link connections, these circular connectors offer versatile, tool-friendly solutions. The M12 connector is available with IDC, screw or solder terminations, while the compact M8 connector is best suited for IDC and screw terminals due to its small size.

Both plug and socket versions are available, making them suitable for male or female device interfaces. Thanks to user-friendly cold-connection technologies, even non-experts can quickly build robust M8 or M12 cable assemblies without compromising quality or safety.

Advantages of Field-Wireable Connectors
