889D-F4AC-2 | Allen-Bradley Cordset, DC Micro (M12) Female, Straight, 4-Pin, PVC

The 889D-F4AC-2 is a DC Micro (M12) 4-pin cordset with a straight female connector, manufactured by Allen-Bradley. It is commonly used in industrial automation for connecting sensors, actuators, and other field devices. The cable provides both power and signal transmission through its 4-conductor design. Its molded connector ensures quick, secure, and tool-free installation. This product is part of Allen-Bradley’s rugged industrial connectivity solutions.

The connector has a 4-pin configuration, which is commonly used for two power wires and two signal wires. This setup is ideal for many industrial sensors, actuators, and I/O devices that require both power and control signals. The standard IEC color coding helps prevent wiring errors. The pins are gold-plated or nickel-coated to ensure long-lasting conductivity. This configuration supports digital I/O and low-power analog signals.

No, the 889D-F4AC-2 is unshielded, which makes it suitable for use in environments with low electromagnetic interference (EMI). It is best deployed in short-distance or well-managed cable routes where shielding is not critical. In noisy environments, shielded variants from the same series should be considered. However, the PVC jacket provides some dielectric insulation. Proper separation from high-power cables can reduce interference risk.

The jacket is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which provides good flexibility, flame resistance, and protection from moisture. PVC is a cost-effective and durable option for most industrial environments. It is resistant to oil and chemicals, making it suitable for general-purpose machine wiring. The yellow color enhances visibility for troubleshooting and maintenance. The outer jacket also supports moderate abrasion resistance.

Yes, the 889D-F4AC-2 uses the IEC standard color code for wiring. This ensures global compatibility and simplifies installation in international projects. Following IEC color coding helps prevent miswiring and improves safety. This standardization is especially valuable when integrating components from different vendors. Proper labeling and adherence to standards streamline commissioning and maintenance.
