Festo SIM-K-WD-5-PU M8 3-Pin Sensor Cable 5m

Model Identifier SIM-K-WD-5-PU
Official Part Number 164254
GTIN Standard 4052568073381

Technical Overview

The Festo SIM-K-WD-5-PU (164254) is a high-performance 5-meter universal connecting cable designed for reliable signal transmission in industrial automation, sensor, and actuator applications. This cable features an angled (90-degree) M8 3-pin socket on one end and a 3-wire open end on the other, allowing flexible and low-profile integration. Built with a durable, halogen-free polyurethane (PUR) sheath, it is optimized for small to medium mechanical loads, offering exceptional resistance to oil and severe corrosion (CRC Class 4). The cable safely supports up to 3 A current and 0-60 V operational voltage, while maintaining an IP65/IP67 protection rating for deployment in harsh industrial environments. It is rigorously tested for up to 5 million bending cycles in energy chains, making it an excellent choice for dynamic machine environments and robotic installations.

Key Features

Industrial Applications

1. Dynamic Energy Chain Systems

Installed in moving machine axes and drag chains where cables are subjected to continuous bending and flexing during robotic or CNC operations.

Problem Solved

Standard PVC cables quickly degrade under continuous motion. The SIM-K-WD-5-PU's PUR sheath is tested for 5 million cycles, ensuring longevity and preventing signal loss.

3. Tight-Space Sensor Integration

Wiring miniature photoelectric or proximity sensors in compact assembly stations where straight connectors would be bent aggressively or simply not fit.

Problem Solved

The 90-degree angled M8 connector allows for low-profile cable routing directly out of the sensor, avoiding sharp bends that could damage internal conductors.
