Pepperl + Fuchs 034442 is a robust M12 female cordset designed for reliable sensor/actuator connectivity in industrial environments. It features a straight, A‑coded 4‑pin M12 x 1 socket on one end and a single-ended cable tail on the other, supplied with a 5 m grey PUR cable. With IP68/IP69 protection when mated, a screw-lock coupling with loosening protection, and gold-plated contact surfaces, it is well suited for installations where dependable connections and environmental resistance are essential.
The halogen-free, polyether-based PUR sheath offers strong resistance to microbes and hydrolysis, making it a solid choice for demanding conditions. The cable uses four 0.34 mm² cores (brown, white, blue, black) and is rated up to 250 V AC/DC and 4 A. Durable construction details include a nickel-plated zinc die-cast coupling nut, TPU connector body and FKM sealing, supporting operation across wide temperature ranges for both connector and cable in fixed or flexing applications.

What type of connector does this cordset use?
It is a single-ended cordset with an M12 x 1 straight female (socket) connector on one end and a free cable end on the other.
How many pins does the M12 connector have and what coding is it?
The connector is 4-pin and A-coded, commonly used for standard sensor/actuator connections.
What is the cable length?
The standard length for this cordset is 5 metres.
What is the ingress protection rating?
When properly mated, the connector provides IP68 / IP69 protection, suitable for wet and washdown environments.
What voltage and current can it carry?
It is rated up to 250 V AC/DC and up to 4 A (subject to correct installation and application conditions).
What are the operating temperature ranges?
Connector: -40 to +90 °C. Cable (fixed): -40 to +80 °C. Cable (flexing): -25 to +80 °C.
What is the cable jacket material and colour?
The cable is PUR (polyether-based) with a grey outer sheath (similar to RAL 7001).
Is the cable halogen-free and suitable for harsh industrial conditions?
Yes. It is halogen-free and the PUR jacket is specified as having good chemical resistance, plus microbial and hydrolysis resistance.
What core size and construction does the cable use?
It has 4 cores with 0.34 mm² cross-section each, constructed as 19 x 0.15 mm strands per core (flexible, class 5 conductors).
What are the core colours and typical pin assignment?
Core colours are: brown (pin 1), white (pin 2), blue (pin 3), black (pin 4). Always confirm the device pinout before wiring the free end.
What is the cable outer diameter and recommended bend radius?
The sheath diameter is 4.8 mm. Recommended bending radius is greater than 10x the cable diameter for moving applications and greater than 8x for fixed routing.
Is it suitable for moving applications such as cable carriers?
It is specified for limited drag-chain use: up to 50 drag-chain cycles per day and a motion velocity up to 0.3 m/s.
How should the M12 coupling nut be tightened?
Recommended tightening torque is 0.6 Nm. A torque screwdriver set to 0.6 Nm is typically used to achieve consistent assembly.
What durability can be expected from the connector mating interface?
The connector is specified for a minimum of 100 mating cycles under normal conditions.
What materials are used in the connector for durability?
The screw connection is nickel-plated zinc die-cast, the body is black TPU, the seal is FKM, and the contact surfaces are gold plated.
Does the design help prevent accidental loosening?
Yes. It includes loosening protection features intended to reduce the risk of the coupling working loose and to help avoid inaccurate installation; this is part of the design intent for the 034442 cordset.
- Connecting M12 A-coded 4-pin sensors and actuators to field wiring in industrial automation panels and machine assemblies
- Creating robust, sealed interconnects in washdown or outdoor installations where high ingress protection is required
- Extending or replacing damaged sensor leads on production equipment using a single-ended cordset with a free cable end for termination
- Wiring proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, and limit switches to junction boxes, I/O modules, or control cabinets
- Providing a flexible PUR-cable connection for moving machine parts such as light-duty drag-chain applications
- Standardising machine wiring with consistent 4-core colour coding to simplify installation and fault-finding
- Building compact connections in space-restricted areas using a straight M12 connector profile
- Integrating devices across packaging, materials handling, and general factory automation where 250 V and up to 4 A capability is suitable
