Overview
The Turck PKW4M-10/S90/S101 is a single-ended cordset from Turck’s PicoFast series, designed for sensor and actuator connections in harsh industrial environments. This 10-meter cordset provides pre-terminated connectivity with a right-angled 4-pin M8 picofast female connector on one end and bare flying leads on the other, eliminating the need for field termination and reducing assembly time.
Key Features
- Single-ended M8 picofast connector with right-angle (90°) configuration for tight mounting spaces
- 4-pin configuration with 4x #26 AWG conductors for sensor and low-power control circuits
- IP67 environmental protection rating (NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6P) for washdown and wet environments
- Cut- and abrasion-resistant TPU jacket with Flexlife-20 (20 million bend cycles) for long service life
- Nickel-plated brass M8x1 threaded coupling nut for durable, corrosion-resistant connections
- 10-meter cable length ideal for extended runs in machine layouts and control enclosures
