Introduction
7/8" connectors
Product description
Connectors with threads measured in inches have been used for many years,
mainly outside Europe. The 7/8" thread types are the main group found within
this group of products. They are essentially used in bus systems like Fieldbus
Foundation or DeviceNet. In recent years these connectors also have become
popular as supply ports for I/O nodes, due to the low number of pins and their
sturdy construction.
Weidmüller now offers this product range in the following versions:
• Customisable connectors
• Built-in connectors
• Moulded cables.

7/8“ connectors are available in 3-pole (2 + PE), 4-pole (3 + PE), 5-pole (4 + PE)
versions. Connectors with different pole counts are not plug compatible.
The contact surfaces are gold-plated.

Introduction
Customisable connectors
In certain circumstances it may be required to be able to assemble cables yourself.
This may be for various reasons. For example, the length of the cable cannot
be determined in advance, or during servicing, there may be a requirement
to produce connections yourself. So that this can be easily achieved, simple
connection solutions are required. With 7/8" connectors the screw connection
provides the best solution due to its small dimensions and easy assembly.
These customisable connectors also have sufficient space for the stranded wire
ends. Weidmüller offers versions with differently sized cable
glands to properly fit larger and smaller cable diameters.
The contacts are gold-plated, for higher contact
reliability.
