Phoenix Contact 1671331, also designated SAC-3P-M12Y/2X0,3-PUR/M 8FS, is a three-position sensor and actuator Y-distributor cable designed to divide a single M12 connection into two straight M8 sockets. The assembly features A-coded connectors and two 0.3-metre halogen-free PUR cable branches, providing a compact solution for connecting sensors and actuators in industrial automation systems.
Rated for 60 V and 4 A at 40°C, the cable incorporates 0.25 mm² conductors and a durable black-grey RAL 7021 outer sheath. Its IP65, IP68 and IP69K protection ratings support use in demanding environments, while resistance to oil, hydrolysis, microbes, salt water, acids, alkaline solutions and solvents makes it suitable for machinery and moving applications. The flexible cable is rated for up to four million bending cycles and operates between -40°C and 80°C in fixed installations.

What type of component is this?
It is a sensor and actuator Y-distributor cable designed to divide one connection into two branches in industrial automation systems.
Which connectors are fitted to the cable assembly?
The assembly has one straight A-coded M12 plug and two straight A-coded M8 sockets.
How many positions does the connection use?
The cable assembly is designed as a 3-position connection for sensor and actuator applications.
What is the cable length?
The specified cable length is 0.3 metres, making it suitable for compact connections between nearby field devices.
What are the rated voltage and current?
The assembly is rated for 60 V and a current of up to 4 A at 40°C.
What level of ingress protection does it provide?
When correctly connected and installed, the assembly is rated to IP65, IP68 and IP69K, offering protection against dust, water ingress and high-pressure washdown conditions.
What material is used for the cable sheath?
The outer sheath is made from halogen-free PUR in a black-grey RAL 7021 finish. PUR provides good resistance to abrasion, oils and demanding industrial conditions.
Is the cable suitable for moving applications?
Yes. The flexible cable is specified for up to 4,000,000 bending cycles under the stated test conditions, with a minimum bending radius of 44 mm for movable installation.
What is the operating temperature range?
The connector assembly is rated from -25°C to 90°C. The cable is rated from -40°C to 80°C in fixed installations and from -25°C to 80°C in flexible installations.
What conductor size is used?
The signal conductors have a cross-section of 0.25 mm², equivalent to AWG 24, and use bare copper stranded wire.
What are the conductor colours?
The three conductor colours are brown, blue and black, following a common arrangement for industrial sensor and actuator connections.
Which connector standards apply?
The M12 connector follows IEC 61076-2-101, while the M8 connectors follow IEC 61076-2-104. All connectors use standard A-coding.
What connector tightening torque should be used?
The specified tightening torque is 0.4 Nm for the M12 connector and 0.2 Nm for the M8 connectors.
Is the cable resistant to industrial fluids?
Yes. The cable is resistant to oil, hydrolysis, microbes and salt water, and it is highly resistant to acids, alkaline solutions and solvents.
Does the assembly include a status indicator?
No. This is a passive Y-distributor cable assembly and does not include an integrated status display.
What are typical applications for this component?
Typical uses include connecting two compact sensors or actuators to a shared M12 field connection on conveyors, packaging machinery, assembly equipment and automated production lines.
- Splitting a single M12 sensor or actuator connection into two M8 connections
- Connecting compact sensors and actuators within industrial automation systems
- Wiring proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors and limit switches
- Distributing power and signal connections in machinery and production equipment
- Supporting flexible cable routing in moving machine applications
- Connecting field devices in space-restricted control and assembly installations
- Providing robust connections in environments exposed to oil, moisture and chemicals
- Integrating sensor and actuator circuits in conveyor, packaging and material-handling equipment
- Creating short 0.3-metre connection branches between M12 and M8 interfaces
- Use in washdown-prone industrial areas requiring IP65, IP68 or IP69K-rated connectivity
