Allen-Bradley 889D-F4AC-2 DC Micro M12 Cordset

Allen-Bradley 889D-F4AC-2 DC Micro M12 Cordset

Configured for field sensor and I/O block connections, the Allen-Bradley 889D-F4AC-2 (889D-F4AC DC Micro cordset) provides a 4-pin female M12 interface with color-coded flying leads. The 2 m cable uses a 22 AWG yellow PVC jacket and supports 4 A current with 250 V AC / 300 V DC ratings.

Hardware Specifications

Allen-Bradley Industrial Control Interface Characteristics

The 889D-F4AC-2 uses a DC Micro M12 connector for direct point-to-point field wiring between compatible devices and I/O hardware. The straight female connector provides the mating interface, while the opposite flying-lead end permits termination according to the connected device wiring scheme.

The 22 AWG conductors support the specified 4 A current rating. The cable is unshielded, so routing should maintain physical separation from high-energy switching conductors and other sources of electromagnetic interference.

The yellow PVC jacket identifies the cable assembly and provides the specified operating temperature range from -20 deg C to +105 deg C. IP67 and IP69K protection applies when the connector is correctly mated and the interface maintains its specified sealing condition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the 889D-F4AC-2 shielded?

A: No. The supplied specification identifies the cordset as unshielded.

Q: What connector configuration does the cable provide?

A: One end has a straight 4-pin female M12 DC Micro connector, while the opposite end has color-coded flying leads.

Q: Does the cable consume electrical power?

A: No. The 889D-F4AC-2 is a passive connection cable and has no internal power-consuming electronics.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify the mating device uses a compatible 4-pin M12 DC Micro interface before installation.
• Confirm conductor assignments against the equipment wiring diagram before terminating the flying leads.
• Keep the unshielded cable separated from high-voltage switching circuits and high-current motor conductors where practical.
• Avoid excessive bending, pulling, or mechanical loading at the M12 connector and cable transition.
• Tighten the M12 coupling connection sufficiently to maintain the intended environmental seal without damaging the connector.
• Protect stripped flying leads from accidental contact, moisture ingress, and unintended conductor-to-conductor contact.
• Maintain the specified cable temperature range during installation and continuous operation.
• Inspect the connector sealing surfaces before mating, particularly where IP67 or IP69K protection is required.
• Do not route the cable through locations where abrasion, crushing, or repeated flexing exceeds the cable construction limits.
• Verify continuity and correct conductor identification before energizing the connected circuit.
