Turck PKG Cordset Series Technical Notes

The Turck PKG cordset series represents one of the most widely deployed families of industrial connector cables in global heavy industry. Installed across chemical processing plants, nuclear facilities, oil refineries, and automotive assembly lines, PKG cordsets serve as the standardized interconnect solution between field sensors, actuators, and control system I/O modules. The series is built around the M12 circular connector standard — the dominant interface in IEC 61076-2-101 compliant automation environments — and is manufactured to IP67/IP68 ingress protection ratings, making it suitable for wash-down, high-humidity, and submersion-rated installations. Turck's PKG line is a direct-fit replacement reference for Siemens ET 200, Rockwell 1734 POINT I/O, and Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal wiring harnesses where M12 field wiring is specified. The series designation encodes cable length (e.g., 6M = 6 meters), pin count (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 8), and catalog suffix (CS-series = straight connector body). The 6M-2/CS10922 is a 6-meter, 2-pin, single-ended straight cordset with a male M12 connector, rated for 60 VDC / 4A per contact, with PUR outer jacket for oil and UV resistance.

The Evolution of PKG Series Architecture

Turck introduced the PKG cordset family in the early 1990s as a response to the DIN 43650 and IEC 60947 push toward standardized field wiring in modular PLC architectures. The first-generation PKG cables used PVC jacketing and were rated to IP65 only, limiting their use in outdoor or wash-down environments. By the mid-1990s, Turck transitioned the series to PUR (polyurethane) jacketing, extending the IP rating to IP67 and adding resistance to hydraulic oils, cutting fluids, and UV exposure — critical for automotive and food processing deployments.

The second architectural shift came with the adoption of the M12 A-coding standard as the dominant pin format for DC sensor/actuator wiring, displacing earlier 7/8" and DIN-style connectors in new installations. The PKG series was expanded to include B-coded (AC power), D-coded (Ethernet/Profinet), and X-coded (Gigabit Ethernet) variants, allowing a single cable family to serve both legacy 24VDC sensor loops and modern Industrial Ethernet backbones. Current PKG variants are fully compatible with Profibus, DeviceNet, AS-Interface, and IO-Link physical layer wiring requirements. For installations using older Turck BL20 or BL67 remote I/O gateways, PKG cordsets remain the specified field wiring interface and are still actively manufactured, ensuring long-term availability for brownfield maintenance programs.
