Lumberg Automation RST 5-56/2 M12 5-Pin Male to 7/8" 4-Pin Female Cordset 0.35m

Lumberg Automation RST 5-56/2 M12 5-Pin Male to 7/8" 4-Pin Female Cordset 0.35m

This Lumberg Automation RST 5-56/2 is a short industrial cordset that connects an M12 5-pin male straight plug to a 7/8" mini round 4-pin female 90-degree connector via an orange PUR-jacketed cable approximately 0.35 meters long. It is designed for sensor and actuator wiring in industrial automation environments where M12 and 7/8" connector standards are used together.

Applications

M12 and 7/8" mini round connectors are standard in industrial fieldbus and sensor/actuator wiring. The M12 connector format has been widely used since the 1980s and 1990s in factory automation, and the 7/8" mini round format is common in DeviceNet and power-distribution applications. A cordset like this RST 5-56/2 is typically used to bridge between an M12-terminated sensor or device and a 7/8"-equipped power supply, controller, or junction block. The 90-degree angle on the 7/8" end helps manage cable routing in tight panel or machine installations. Lumberg Automation (a Belden brand) is a well-established German manufacturer of industrial connectors and cordsets used throughout machine tool, robotics, packaging, and process automation systems worldwide.
