Cable Connector Model Numbers
There are two models of cable connectors available for different sized cable
wires, as shown in the following table.
Model Marking Compatible cable wire size
(cross-sectional area)
XS8A-0441 XS8-1 0.3 to 0.5 mm 2
XS8A-0442 XS8-2 0.14 to 0.2 mm 2
Make sure that the sensor cable’s wire size is compatible the cable connector
being used. The cable connector’s marking is found on the connector plug, as
shown in the following diagram.

Sensor Cable Preparation
Sensor cables are usually stripped to semi-strip or strip specifications, but
OMRON cable connectors cannot be attached when the cable is stripped in
these ways.
Semi-stripped Stripped
Cover
To prepare the cable for an OMRON cable connector, cut the tip and strip the
cable insulation but not the wire insulation, as shown in the following diagram.
