The Pepperl+Fuchs V15-G-5M-PVC is a single-ended M12 female cordset with 5-meter PVC cable designed for connecting sensors and actuators in industrial automation. It features a 5-pin A-coded M12 socket with gold-plated contacts, screw locking mechanism, and free cable end for termination. Rated for up to 48V AC / 60V DC at 4A, with IP66/IP68/IP69 protection and -40°C to 90°C temperature range on the connector, this cordset is suitable for demanding washdown and outdoor applications. The 5 × 0.34 mm² PVC-insulated cable with grey sheath meets flame-resistance standards. Typical applications include connecting proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, ultrasonic sensors, valve actuators, and I/O modules in factory automation, packaging machinery, and process control systems.
**Q: What is the difference between V15-G-5M-PVC and V15-G-5M-PVC-V15-G?**
A: V15-G-5M-PVC is single-ended (M12 socket → free cable end). V15-G-5M-PVC-V15-G is double-ended (M12 socket → M12 plug), used for extension connections.
**Q: Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?**
A: Yes, with IP66/IP68/IP69 protection and -40°C to 90°C connector rating, it is suitable for outdoor and harsh washdown environments.
**Q: Can this cable be used in drag chain applications?**
A: With a bending radius >10 × cable diameter and flexing temperature range of -5 to 70°C, it is suitable for limited flexing applications but not designed for continuous high-cycle drag chain use. For high-flex applications, consider PUR-jacketed alternatives.
