Product Overview
Turck RK 4.5T-4/S90 is a single-ended Eurofast M12 cordset with a straight 5-pin female M12 connector on one end and five bare pigtail leads on the other. Cable length is 4 meters with a gray TPU (polyurethane) jacket. Rated 250V AC, 4A. IP68, NEMA 1/3/4/6P rated when coupled. Wire conductors are 22 AWG in brown, white, blue, black, and gray. Coupling nut is nickel-plated brass. Made in USA.

- Cable length: 4 meters (approximately 13 feet)
- Jacket: Gray TPU (polyurethane) - abrasion and cut resistant
- Conductors: 5 x 22 AWG - brown, white, blue, black, gray
- Rated voltage: 250V AC
- Rated current: 4A
- Protection rating: IP68, NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6P when coupled
- Certifications: UL, CSA listed
- Made in USA
Applications
- Maintenance technician replacing a damaged sensor cable mid-shift - connect the M12 female end to the sensor, strip and ferule the pigtails into the terminal block, and the machine is back up without waiting for a wired-from-scratch replacement
- Machine builder routing cordsets during panel assembly - pigtail end feeds cleanly into PLC I/O or distributed I/O modules, allowing precise conductor-by-conductor termination without modifying the connector end
- System integrator wiring field devices to a central control cabinet - A-coded 5-pin M12 mates to standard sensor and actuator ports; pigtail routes to custom termination inside the enclosure
- Maker or robotics builder wiring an M12-equipped sensor to a custom controller board - pigtail leads solder or clamp directly to headers or screw terminals without needing an adapter
Frequently Asked Questions
What devices is the M12 female connector compatible with?
The connector is A-coded, 5-pin, straight M12 female. It mates with male M12 A-coded 5-pin connectors, which are standard on a wide range of industrial sensors and actuators. It is not compatible with B, D, or X-coded M12 connectors, M8 connectors, or devices requiring a different pin count.
What is the pin count - the model number says 5-pin but the photos show the connector face?
The molded label on this unit reads RK 4.5T-4/S90 and the pigtail end exposes five conductors: brown, white, blue, black, and gray. This is a 5-pin cordset. The connector face angle in the photos may obscure the fifth pin depending on the view.
Does this cable include anything beyond the cordset itself?
The cordset ships as shown. No additional connectors, adapters, or accessories are included.
Is the TPU jacket suitable for use around oils, coolants, or in wash-down environments?
TPU (polyurethane) jackets offer good resistance to abrasion, cuts, and many common industrial fluids. The cable is IP68 and NEMA 4/6P rated when the M12 connector is coupled. For specific chemical compatibility questions, consult the relevant safety data for your environment before installation.
Can the pigtail wires be connected to a terminal block or screw-type PLC input?
Yes. The pigtail end consists of five individual 22 AWG conductors. Strip the jacket, strip each conductor to the required length, and terminate into screw terminals, spring-cage terminals, or ferrule-crimped connections as your system requires.
A Turck Eurofast cable from a contract manufacturer's floor - never installed, still carrying its original labels and UL marks. Strip the pigtails, torque the M12, and the sensor is talking to the PLC before the next break.
