Lumberg Automation RST 5-56/2M M12 5-Pin Male to 7/8" 4-Pin Female Cordset 1m

Lumberg Automation RST 5-56/2M M12 5-Pin Male to 7/8" 4-Pin Female Cordset 1m

The Lumberg Automation RST 5-56/2M is a sensor/actuator cordset connecting an M12 5-pin male straight plug to a 7/8" (mini) 4-pin female 90° connector via a 1-meter orange PUR cable. This style of cordset is a standard interconnect in industrial automation and machine-level wiring, bridging M12-equipped sensors or controllers to 7/8"-standard field devices such as solenoid valves, actuators, and distributed I/O nodes. Lumberg Automation (part of the Belden group) is a well-established German manufacturer of M12 and industrial circular connectors widely used in factory automation, conveyor systems, and packaging machinery.

Applications

M12-to-7/8" cordsets like the RST 5-56/2M are standard wiring components in industrial automation environments. The M12 connector side interfaces with a wide range of sensors, proximity switches, and fieldbus nodes, while the 7/8" connector side is common on solenoid valve manifolds, actuators, and power-distribution blocks. This combination is frequently found in machine tool wiring, conveyor and material handling systems, automotive assembly lines, and food and beverage processing equipment — anywhere that IEC-standard circular connectors are used for reliable field-level signal and power connections. The 90° female end is particularly useful in space-constrained installations where a straight connector exit would strain the cable or interfere with adjacent components.
