BRAD HARRISON

BRAD HARRISON cordsets and receptacles are available with IP ratings of IP65, IP67, and IP68, depending on the specific model. For example, the M12 single-ended cordsets with PVC jackets (SKU 2EPL5, 2EPH8) are rated IP68, while the 7/8"-16 female straight cordset (SKU 5AA48) is rated IP67. The Micro M12 receptacle (SKU 2EPG9) is rated IP67. These ratings indicate protection against dust ingress and water immersion, with IP68 offering continuous submersion under specified conditions. All listed models also carry a NEMA 6P rating, confirming suitability for outdoor or washdown environments.

BRAD HARRISON receptacles are offered with several mounting thread sizes to fit different panel cutouts. The actuator and sensor receptacle (SKU 5AA57) uses a 1/2"-14 mounting thread. The Micro M12 receptacle (SKU 2EPG9) features a 1/4" female front mounting thread. Additionally, the 7/8"-16 female straight cordset (SKU 5AA48) uses a 7/8"-16 thread. These sizes are common in industrial enclosures and junction boxes, allowing direct replacement of existing connectors without modification.

BRAD HARRISON cordsets are available with wire sizes of 16 AWG, 20 AWG, and 22 AWG, depending on the model and current requirements. For instance, the 7/8"-16 female straight cordset (SKU 5AA48) uses 16 AWG wire, suitable for higher current applications up to 4 A. The M12 cordsets (e.g., SKU 2EPL5, 2EPH8) typically use 22 AWG wire, while the M12 female straight cordset (SKU 4JNX5) uses 20 AWG. The wire gauge is selected to match the current rating and cable length, ensuring minimal voltage drop in control circuits.

Yes, BRAD HARRISON offers cordsets with right-angle connectors on the M12 end. Examples include the single-ended cordsets SKU 2EPL5 (M12 female right angle to bare wire, 4-pin) and SKU 2EPH8 (M12 female right angle to bare wire, 5-pin). Right-angle connectors are useful in tight spaces where straight connectors would interfere with adjacent components or cable routing. These cordsets maintain the same IP68 rating and PVC jacket construction as straight versions.

Single-ended BRAD HARRISON cordsets have a connector on one end (e.g., M12 female or male) and bare wires on the other end for termination in a control cabinet or junction box. Double-ended cordsets have connectors on both ends, typically used to directly connect sensors or actuators to a controller or I/O module. The product list includes single-ended cordsets with M12, 7/8"-16, and 1/4" female connectors, all with bare wire terminations. Double-ended cordsets are also available in the BRAD HARRISON line but are not shown in the provided samples.

BRAD HARRISON receptacles themselves are panel-mount components and are not subject to flexing. However, the cordsets designed for flexing applications, such as the single-ended cordsets with PVC jackets (e.g., SKU 2EPL5, 2EPH8, 2ENL8), are built with flexible PVC cable jackets that withstand repeated bending and movement. These cordsets are suitable for use with moving machinery, robotic arms, or cable tracks. The receptacles, when paired with these cordsets, provide a complete solution for dynamic environments.
