CMK208 8 Circuit Multi-Wire Connector for High-Density Electrical Wiring
TheJINH CMK208 is an 8 circuit multi-wire connector designed for electrical applications where several conductors need to be connected within one organized connection component.
As the 8-circuit model of the JINH CMK20 series, CMK208 provides eight connection positions in one connector. It is designed for projects that require a higher number of connection points while maintaining a practical and orderly wiring arrangement.
CMK208 combines a push-in wiring method with a pluggable connection structure, offering a convenient option for equipment assembly, electrical installation, lighting systems, control wiring, junction boxes, appliances, and other suitable applications.
The connector supports 0.5–2.5mm² rigid wires and is rated at 450V and 24A.
The housing is made from transparent polycarbonate, while the conductive parts are manufactured from tinned copper and the contact springs use AISI 301 stainless steel.
CMK208 has a specified working temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, allowing it to be considered for various electrical environments when the application conditions are within the product specifications.
Eight-Circuit Configuration for Multiple Connections
The key feature of CMK208 is its:
8 Circuit Configuration
Eight independent connection positions provide additional connection capacity for electrical systems with multiple conductors.
When several wires need to be connected within the same area, managing individual connection points can become increasingly difficult.
An 8-circuit connector provides a centralized connection solution that can help keep the wiring arrangement more structured.
CMK208 can be considered for applications involving:
- Multiple electrical conductors
- Equipment wiring
- Lighting connections
- Junction box wiring
- Control circuits
- Appliance wiring
- Electrical assembly
- Internal equipment connections
The eight-position configuration makes CMK208 particularly suitable for applications where a smaller circuit count may not provide enough connection capacity.
Push-in Connection for Convenient Wiring
CMK208 uses a push-in wiring structure for compatible rigid conductors.
After the wire has been prepared according to the specified requirements, it can be inserted into the corresponding connection position.
The push-in method reduces the need for traditional screw-tightening operations during installation.
This can be helpful when several wires need to be connected during equipment assembly or electrical installation.
For electricians and installers, a straightforward connection process can make repetitive wiring work more convenient.
For equipment manufacturers, the push-in design can also be incorporated into production processes where multiple connectors need to be installed.
Pluggable Design for Flexible Connection
CMK208 also features a pluggable connection structure.
A pluggable electrical connector can provide greater flexibility when equipment needs to be assembled, inspected, adjusted, or serviced.
During manufacturing, CMK208 can be incorporated into the internal wiring arrangement of electrical equipment.
During maintenance, a suitable pluggable structure can make connection management more convenient.
This combination of multi-circuit capacity and pluggable construction makes CMK208 suitable for electrical systems where wiring flexibility and organized connections are both important.
0.5–2.5mm² Rigid Wire Compatibility
CMK208 is designed for:
0.5–2.5mm² rigid wires
This wire range covers many general electrical wiring requirements.
The specified strip length is:
11mm / 0.43 inch
Proper wire preparation is important for the intended connection performance.
Before installation, users should confirm that the conductor size, wire type, stripping length, electrical load, and installation conditions meet the product requirements.
The connector should be selected according to the complete electrical application.
450V and 24A Electrical Rating
CMK208 is rated at:
450V
and:
24A
These ratings allow the connector to be considered for a variety of suitable electrical wiring applications.
Actual use should always remain within the specified product ratings.
Application conditions such as conductor size, ambient temperature, current load, installation environment, enclosure design, and relevant electrical requirements should be considered during product selection.
Transparent Polycarbonate Housing
CMK208 uses a:
Transparent Polycarbonate Housing
The transparent housing allows users to observe the connection area more easily.
This can be useful during installation and inspection, particularly when several connection positions are being used.
The transparent construction also makes it easier to visually check the position of the conductors inside the connector.
Polycarbonate is commonly used for electrical component housings because of its useful mechanical characteristics and dimensional stability.
Tinned Copper Conductive Parts
The conductive components of CMK208 are made from:
Tinned Copper
Copper is widely used in electrical connectors due to its electrical conductivity.
The tin-plated surface provides an additional protective finish to the copper conductive component.
The conductive parts form the electrical path between connected conductors and work together with the contact springs to create the internal connection system.
AISI 301 Stainless Steel Contact Springs
CMK208 uses:
AISI 301 Stainless Steel Contact Springs
The contact springs provide the necessary contact force within the connection structure.
AISI 301 stainless steel is commonly used for spring components because of its mechanical and spring characteristics.
The contact springs work together with the conductive parts and housing to form the internal connection mechanism.
Working Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
The specified working temperature range of CMK208 is:
-40°C to 85°C
This allows the connector to be considered for a variety of electrical equipment and wiring environments.
However, the suitability of the connector depends on the complete application conditions.
Users should consider ambient temperature, electrical load, conductor size, installation method, enclosure conditions, and other relevant factors before selecting the connector.
