Overview
The Turck PKG 3Z-6/S90 is a single-ended industrial cordset designed for sensor and actuator applications requiring reliable, field-tested connectivity. This 6-meter cordset combines a molded 3-pin M8 picofast female connector with a cut-end cable, making it ideal for custom installation or direct wiring into control panels and equipment. The snap-lock picofast design ensures secure, tool-free mating while the bare-end flying leads allow flexible termination.
Key Features
- 6-meter pre-assembled cable with 3-pin M8 picofast female connector (straight orientation)
- Single-ended design with bare cut-end for direct soldering or terminal connection
- TPU cable jacket rated for +90°C, -40°C cold bend, providing flexibility and abrasion resistance
- RFI/EMI shielding with foil drain for noise immunity in automation environments
- Nickel-plated brass coupling nut and POM locking sleeve for corrosion resistance
- IP67-rated connector assembly, suitable for NEMA 1, 3, 4, and 6P enclosures
