CIC-8 8-Pin Aviation Connector Set – Male & Female
The CIC-8 is an 8-pin circular aviation-style connector set designed for compatible laser equipment and industrial electrical connections. This two-piece set includes a male panel-mount connector and a matching female cable-end plug.
The male connector features eight exposed electrical pins and is designed for mounting through an equipment panel or enclosure. The female connector features eight recessed contacts and a threaded locking collar for securing the connection.
These connectors are suitable for building or repairing compatible multi-wire electrical connections between laser equipment and external accessories, provided the connector specifications and wiring requirements match the application.
Package includes one matching connector pair. This is not a prewired cable assembly.

Compatibility
The CIC-8 connector set is intended for compatible equipment requiring an 8-pin circular aviation-style connection.
Before ordering, compare your existing connector's pin count, contact arrangement, housing dimensions, mounting requirements, and electrical specifications.
Important:
Connectors with the same number of pins may have different dimensions, contact arrangements, and electrical ratings. Compatibility should be verified before installation.
The connector set does not establish the wiring configuration of the connected equipment. Electrical connections must be assembled according to the appropriate machine or accessory wiring diagram.
Installation & Safety
Disconnect all electrical power before installing or replacing electrical connectors.
Confirm that the connector's contact arrangement and physical dimensions match the intended application.
Verify the electrical voltage and current requirements of the connected circuit before installation.
Solder wires to the appropriate connector contacts according to the equipment wiring diagram.
Use suitable wire insulation, cable strain relief, and appropriate assembly practices.
Check for proper continuity and unintended electrical connections before applying power.
Secure the panel connector and threaded coupling without damaging the connector housing.
For interlock or machine protection circuits, verify proper operation before returning equipment to service.
Safety Note:
This connector set is not identified as a safety-rated component. Use in a machine safety circuit requires verification that the complete system meets the applicable safety requirements. Never bypass a machine interlock or protection circuit.
