Overview
The Allen-Bradley 889D-F8ABDM-5 /B is a DC Micro cordset designed for motion control and sensor applications requiring robust field connectivity. This 5-meter cordset features an M12 female straight connector (bus end) with 8 pins, terminated on one end and free-conductor on the other, making it ideal for quick-disconnect applications in programmable logic controller (PLC) systems and servo drives.
Key Features
- 8-Pin M12 Connectors: Female straight (bus) configuration rated for 1.5 amps continuous current
- IEC Standard Color Coding: Multi-conductor 24 AWG wire with standardized IEC color identification for fast troubleshooting
- 5-Meter Length: 16.4 feet provides flexibility for device-to-controller spacing without intermediate splitters
- PVC Jacket, Unshielded: Durable polyvinyl chloride outer jacket rated for standard industrial environments
- Drop-in Compatibility: Works with Allen-Bradley and third-party 889-series quick-disconnect systems
Technical Specifications
This cordset meets UL, CCC, and KC certification standards. The brass connector material ensures corrosion resistance and long service life. Cable construction uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with PVC insulation and a black outer jacket. The straight orientation minimizes footprint in confined panel layouts.
Typical Applications
Common uses include motion control networks, distributed I/O connections, safety sensor links, and field device networks in manufacturing, packaging, automotive, and material handling systems. Compatible with Allen-Bradley servo drives, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and DC distributed I/O modules.
Compatibility & Replacements
The 889D-F8ABDM-5 /B is the Series B version of the standard 889D cordset line. Check your existing connectors for M12 female straight (bus) compatibility before ordering. Variants include right-angle configurations and different lengths (1m, 2m, 10m, 20m) available separately. The part number suffix -5 indicates the 5-meter length.
