CAMARILLO, Calif. - April 9, 2025 - As networking and data exchange expand in factory automation, the demand for reliable, flexible connection solutions is on the rise. binder, a leading provider of industrial circular connectors, is enhancing its portfolio with M8-D-coded connectors featuring single wires. This new variant allows users to customize wiring to their specific needs, delivering improved transmission performance, particularly for applications like the Profinet standard.
“The new M8-D-coded connectors with single wires enable reliable communication between controllers, sensors and actuators in manufacturing and process plants. We supply the single wires untwisted, allowing customers to twist them according to their application needs to achieve even better transmission results,” explained Guido Werner, product manager at binder. “We developed this solution because the demand for these connectors in the automation industry will continue to grow, driven by the increasing exchange of information in industrial automation.”
The increasing customer demand for M8-D-coded panel mount connectors with single wires has driven the development of this solution. With binder’s existing M8-D portfolio already featuring overmolded cables, field-attachable connectors and panel mount connectors with solder contacts, this new product is a natural progression in expanding the lineup.
Better connections in factories, energy and medical technology
Due to their customization potential, factory-supplied untwisted single wires offer versatile application possibilities. M8-D-coded connectors are ideal for industrial communication and enable reliable signal and data transmission in machines and systems. In factory automation, they play a crucial role in networking devices and ensuring secure data transmission and logging.
These solutions are also used in transportation and logistics systems, such as connecting sensors and controllers in conveyor systems or controlling and monitoring transport vehicles. Additionally, they are applied in the energy sector, such as in wind power plants, and in medical technology, where they connect devices and sensors in diagnostic and therapeutic systems.
Guido Werner explained, “Connectivity is a megatrend that goes far beyond a technological development – it is rapidly driven by exponentially growing data volumes across many industries. With the new connectors with single wires, we are expanding our portfolio with a solution that contributes to optimizing data and signal connections in a wide range of applications.”
