FAQs
What does IP65 and IP67 rating mean?
IP65 means the connector is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. IP67 means it is protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Can I use this plug for data transmission?
This plug is specifically designed for fieldbus *power supply*. While some fieldbus systems transmit data and power over the same cable, this connector's primary function and pinout are optimized for power delivery.
What is the maximum voltage and current rating?
Specific voltage and current ratings should be consulted from the official Festo datasheet for the NECU-S-M8G3-HX model. Generally, M8 connectors for power are rated for low voltages (e.g., 30-60V) and currents suitable for sensor power.
Do I need special tools for the Harax® connection?
The Harax® technology is designed for tool-free or minimal-tool assembly. Refer to the specific assembly instructions provided with the plug for detailed guidance.
How do I determine the correct cable diameter for assembly?
The plug's housing and cable gland are designed to accommodate a range of standard industrial cable diameters. Consult the product's technical specifications for the recommended cable outer diameter range.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information typically varies by region and vendor. Please refer to your purchase documentation or contact the point of sale for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
No power at connected device
Verify that the plug is correctly assembled and all 3 pins are properly connected to the power source. Check the power supply voltage and ensure it is within the plug's specifications. Inspect the cable for damage.
Intermittent connection
Ensure the M8 connection is fully tightened. Check for any debris or corrosion on the pins or mating connector. Re-assemble the plug if necessary, ensuring proper wire termination.
Water or dust ingress
Confirm that the plug housing is securely fastened and the seals are intact. If ingress has occurred, carefully clean the interior and allow it to dry completely before re-assembly and use. Ensure the cable gland is properly tightened around the cable.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This plug is designed for self-assembly. To connect a custom cable:
- Strip the cable wires according to the Harax® connection instructions.
- Insert the wires into the designated terminals within the plug housing.
- Secure the housing to create a watertight seal.
Compatibility: The Festo Plug 562024 is compatible with standard M8x1 fieldbus power supply systems and low-voltage industrial automation equipment. Ensure your system voltage and current requirements are within the specifications of this 3-pin connector.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity:
- Periodically inspect the connector for any signs of physical damage or contamination.
- Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the connection is always securely fastened to prevent ingress of dust or moisture.
