IFM EVF566 M12 Female Connector 4-Pin Screw Term IP69K Angled Gold

Overview
The IFM EVF566 (SDOAH040VASFKPG) is a high‑quality M12 female wirable connector engineered for reliable signal and power transmission in demanding industrial automation environments. Featuring a 90° angled design with a stainless steel locking nut (316L/1.4404) and a PA 6.6 grey moulded body, this 4‑pin socket is specifically designed for field assembly where space is restricted. The connector utilises proven screw terminals (0.25…1 mm² / AWG 23…17) and a 3‑point strain relief with a separate highly‑elastic seal, enabling safe and secure cable connection directly on‑site. Gold‑plated contacts ensure corrosion‑resistant, low‑resistance electrical connections. With a triple‑rated protection class of IP65, IP67, IP68, and IP69K, the EVF566 is fully sealed against dust, temporary immersion, and high‑pressure, high‑temperature washdowns – making it ideal for the food and beverage industry. The connector is silicone‑free and suitable for sanitary and wet areas, operating at voltages up to <250 V AC / <300 V DC and a current load of 4 A. It complies with CE, EAC, UKCA, and RoHS standards.

Key Features

• Original brand new, within warranty period – Factory‑sealed, genuine IFM component with full manufacturer warranty.

• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee – Risk‑free purchase; if you are not completely satisfied, we will replace or refund.

• Gold‑plated contacts for reliable electrical connections – Gold‑plated contacts provide superior corrosion resistance, low contact resistance, and long‑term signal integrity, ensuring reliable electrical connections in harsh industrial environments.

• High protection rating for harsh industrial environments – Rated IP65, IP67, IP68, and IP69K, offering dust‑tight protection, resistance to temporary immersion, and high‑pressure, high‑temperature washdown resistance, enabling use in hygienic and wet areas of the food industry.

• Wide operating temperature range – Operates reliably from -25°C to +100°C ambient temperature, with storage temperature from -25°C to +55°C, accommodating extreme thermal conditions in industrial automation.

• Safe cable connection with screw terminals – Proven screw terminals accept 0.25…1 mm² (AWG 23…17) wire, with cable sheath diameter of 3.5…6 mm, enabling secure, tool‑friendly field assembly without special crimping equipment.

• 90° angled design for space‑restricted installations – Angled (90°) M12 A‑coded connector geometry allows installation in tight spaces, control cabinets, and applications where straight connectors cannot fit.

• Stainless steel locking nut and 3‑point strain relief – Stainless steel (1.4404/316L) contour nut provides robust mechanical locking (tightening torque 0.6…1.2 Nm), while the 3‑point strain relief with separate highly‑elastic seal prevents cable pull‑out and ensures IP protection integrity.

• Silicone‑free construction for food industry applications – Silicone‑free design makes the EVF566 suitable for sanitary and wet areas in the food and beverage industry, where silicone contamination must be avoided.

• High electrical ratings for industrial signals and power – Rated at <250 V AC / <300 V DC with a maximum total current load of 4 A (at 40°C), suitable for sensor‑actuator connections, power distribution, and industrial communication.
