Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E11508 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Plug, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (4)
• Shell size (M12-4)
• Fastening type (Threaded)
• Orientation (Keyed)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Termination method (Screw)
• Current rating (4A minimum)
• Contact finish (Gold)

Environmental Compliance:

• Ingress protection rating (IP65 or higher)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C minimum to 85°C minimum)

The EVC810 meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria while providing enhanced electrical ratings and expanded ingress protection specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EVC810 is the direct substitute for the obsolete E11508. Both connectors are manufactured by ifm efector, inc. and share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications for the M12-4 circular connector platform.

Substitution Basis:

The EVC810 maintains full compatibility with existing E11508 installations through identical connector geometry, pin configuration, and screw termination methodology. The substitute part is classified as active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Enhanced Specifications:

The EVC810 provides increased electrical ratings (250VAC/300VDC versus 45VAC/70VDC) and expanded ingress protection options (IP65/IP67/IP68/IP69K versus IP68), making it suitable for applications requiring higher voltage tolerance or enhanced environmental sealing. The operating temperature range extends to 90°C, providing an additional 5°C margin over the original specification.

Compliance:

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4020) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EVC810 directly replace the E11508 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical M12-4 shell size, 4-position configuration, keyed orientation, and screw termination. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The EVC810 is an active product with enhanced voltage ratings (250VAC/300VDC versus 45VAC/70VDC), expanded ingress protection (IP65/IP67/IP68/IP69K versus IP68), and extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 90°C versus -25°C to 85°C).

Q: Are there any cable opening differences?

A: The E11508 accepts cable diameters of 0.157" to 0.236" (4.00mm to 6.00mm). The EVC810 accepts 0.138" to 0.236" (3.50mm to 6.00mm), providing a slightly wider range at the lower end.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The E11508 packaging is not specified. The EVC810 is supplied in box packaging.

Q: Are both connectors unshielded?

A: Yes. Both the E11508 and EVC810 are unshielded circular connectors.

Q: Do both connectors include backshell and coupling nut features?

A: Yes. Both connectors include backshell and coupling nut as standard features.

Q: What is the current rating for both connectors?

A: Both connectors are rated for 4A continuous current.
