ZK4500-0004-0150
by Beckhoff
The Beckhoff ZK4500-0004-0150 is part of the ZK Motor Cables series of specialized EtherCAT cables designed for industrial automation. Manufactured by Beckhoff, this cable features an 8-pin configuration at Head A with an M23 plug connector and female contacts, and a 4-pin arrangement at Head B with a 7.62 mm pitch plug and female contacts. Measuring 13.4 mm in overall diameter, the cable provides robust power and signal transmission for fixed installations. Its primary function is to ensure reliable motor connections in demanding industrial environments, combining high mechanical resilience with precise electrical performance.
Head A of the ZK4500-0004-0150 utilizes a metal body for enhanced durability and a crimp connection for secure wire termination. Head B is equipped with a clamping yoke connection to guarantee stable contact retention under vibration and torsion. The cable’s Pitch Dimension at Head A is 3.50 mm, supporting accurate pin alignment. Both connector types are rated for female contacts, ensuring consistent electrical continuity. The cable supports a maximum single-core wire cross-section of AWG28 … AWG14 (0.2 mm² … 1.5 mm²), and for meterware power applications up to 2.50 mm² (approx. AWG14), providing flexibility for varied current requirements.
The ZK4500-0004-0150 excels in compatibility, fitting seamlessly into existing Beckhoff and EtherCAT-based systems without the need for adapters. Its robust metal body and precision pitch dimensions deliver excellent resistance against mechanical stress and electromagnetic interference. The broad range of supported wire cross-sections enhances adaptability, making it suitable for varied motor types and power levels. Designed for industrial automation, this cable meets the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing and process control applications. By ensuring stable, low-resistance connections and effortless integration, the Beckhoff ZK4500-0004-0150 greatly improves system uptime and operational efficiency in complex industrial settings.
