MURRELEKTRONIK
Murrelektronik GmbH, founded in 1975 in Oppenweiler, Germany, is a manufacturer of industrial connectivity and automation components. The company's product portfolio centers on passive and active connection systems, including cordsets, fieldbus connectors, junction boxes, power supplies, and signal conditioners. Murrelektronik is known for its M12 and M8 circular connectors, which are widely used in sensor/actuator wiring for factory automation, as well as its continuous-flex control cables and motor suppressors. The brand emphasizes robust mechanical design and environmental sealing, with many cordsets rated IP65, IP66K, or IP67, suitable for washdown and harsh industrial environments. Cable jacket materials include PVC for general-purpose flexing, PUR for twisting applications, and TPE for heaviest-duty conditions, covering a range of mechanical stress profiles. Murrelektronik also produces Y-distributors, splitters, and passive distribution boxes that simplify wiring in distributed I/O architectures. Their motor suppressors, such as the RC 3 ST varistor-star type, are designed to reduce electromagnetic interference in motor circuits. 3G Electric stocks over 2,000 Murrelektronik SKUs, including single-ended cordsets, M12-to-M8 adapters, control cables, and suppression modules, with datasheets and logistics support for global procurement. The product line supports applications from simple sensor connection to complex multi-axis machinery, with specifications such as 22 AWG wire, 4 A current ratings, and 300 V voltage limits. Murrelektronik components are designed to meet CE standards and are compatible with common industrial protocols, though the brand does not manufacture active network switches or PLCs. For engineers and maintenance managers, Murrelektronik offers a standardized, modular approach to wiring that reduces installation time and improves reliability in automated systems.
