M12 connectors (4-8 pins) are most common for industrial flow sensors, followed by M8 connectors for compact applications and 7/8" connectors for higher current requirements. The choice depends on signal type, environmental conditions, and industry standards.
Use IP67 or IP68 rated connectors with proper O-rings and cable glands. Ensure mating surfaces are clean, apply appropriate torque to connector nuts (typically 0.6-1.2 Nm for M12), and use cable entries with strain relief to maintain seal integrity.
2-wire systems use the same pair for both power and signal (typically 4-20mA), simplifying installation but limiting power. 4-wire systems separate power and signal wires, allowing higher power delivery and more complex communication protocols like HART or digital buses.
