IEC 61076-2-104:2014 describes circular connectors M8 screw-locking or with nominal diameter 8 mm snap-locking, typically used for industrial process measurement and control. These connectors consist of fixed and free connectors either rewireable or non-rewireable. Male connectors have round contacts of diameter 0,6 mm, diameter 0,7 mm and diameter 1,0 mm. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
- three new type ways have been added to the A-coding, including new gauges and contact diameters and
- the type designation has been removed.Key words: Connectors, Circular Connectors, Data transmission
