The Pepperl+Fuchs 218028 is a V1-G-BK5M-PUR-U female cordset designed for reliable sensor and actuator connections in industrial automation environments. It features a single-ended, straight M12 A-coded socket with 4 pins and a 5 m black PUR cable, providing a robust connection solution for machinery, production lines and automated equipment.
Built for demanding applications, this cordset is suitable for drag chain use and robotic installations, offering torsion resistance, abrasion resistance and dependable performance where movement is frequent. The cable is halogen-free, UV resistant, oil resistant, resistant to microbes and hydrolysis, and free from paint-wetting interfering substances, making it well suited to harsh industrial conditions.
The 218028 supports a maximum operating voltage of 250 V AC/DC and a maximum operating current of 4 A. Its IP68/IP69 protection rating helps protect the connection against dust and water ingress, while the screw connection and anti-loosening design support secure installation. With gold-plated contacts, a nickel-plated zinc die-cast screw connection and a black TPU connector body, this Pepperl+Fuchs cordset provides a durable and practical connection option for industrial control and automation systems.

What type of connection does this cordset provide?
It is a single-ended female cordset with an M12 straight, A-coded, 4-pin socket at one end and a free cable end at the other. This makes it suitable for connecting sensors, actuators and other industrial field devices into control systems.
What cable length is supplied?
The cordset is supplied with a 5 m black PUR cable, giving enough length for many machine, panel and field-wiring installations without needing an additional extension.
What voltage and current ratings apply?
The cordset is rated for a maximum operating voltage of 250 V AC/DC and a maximum operating current of 4 A, making it suitable for many low-power industrial signal and device connections.
Is the cable suitable for moving applications?
Yes. It is designed for drag-chain use and torsion-resistant applications, including robotic movement. The cable is rated for a minimum of 5,000,000 drag-chain cycles and a minimum of 1,000,000 torsion cycles.
What environmental protection rating does it have?
The connector has an IP68 / IP69 degree of protection, meaning it is intended for demanding industrial environments where strong protection against dust and water ingress is required when correctly mated.
What are the conductor colours and pin assignments?
The 4-core cable uses the following colour coding: pin 1 is brown, pin 2 is white, pin 3 is blue and pin 4 is black. Each conductor has a cross-section of 0.34 mm².
What materials are used in the cable and connector?
The cable has a PUR sheath based on polyether with PP core insulation. The connector body is black TPU, with a nickel-plated zinc diecast screw connection, FKM seal and gold-plated contact surfaces.
Can it be used in areas exposed to oils or coolants?
Yes. The cable is listed as oil-resistant and cooling-lubricant-resistant, with good chemical resistance. It is also resistant to microbes, hydrolysis and UV exposure.
What temperature range can it operate in?
The plug connector is rated from -40 °C to 90 °C. The fixed cable range is -40 °C to 80 °C, while the flexing cable range is -20 °C to 80 °C.
What bending radius should be allowed during installation?
For moving applications, the bending radius should be greater than 10 times the cable diameter. For fixed installations, it should be greater than 5 times the cable diameter. The sheath diameter is 4.3 mm.
Is the cable halogen-free?
Yes. The cable is specified as halogen-free and also free of paint wetting interfering substances, making part 218028 suitable for certain industrial environments where material compatibility is important.
What tightening torque is recommended for the M12 connector?
The M12 screw connection has a specified tightening torque of 0.6 Nm. The connector design includes loosening protection to help maintain a secure connection when installed correctly.
- Connecting sensors and actuators in industrial automation systems using a straight M12 A-coded interface
