If you want to get a safe, reliable, sealed and waterproof power and signal connection between your actuators, sensors and industrial devices, robots, automation equipment, you’d better choose IP67 circular waterproof m12 connectors and cable assemblies.
How to choose suitable m12 connectors and cable assemblies for your applications?
How to identify m12 circular connector coding?
How to connect different types of color of core wire to correct pins / positions of m12 male or female connectors?
How to choose a suitable m12 connector and cable assembly to be installed into your devices?
In order to help wide readers solve the upper questions and design and assemble power and signal connection systems for concrete industry applications, I’ll introduce them by following different subjects:
There are following male and female A-Coded, B-coded, C-coded, D-coded, X-coded, S-coded, T-coded, L-coded, P-coded m12 connectors.
You may identify these coding types of m12 series by below contact layout diagrams:
Application: m12 A-coding male connector is used for actuator-sensor plug connections for DeviceNet, IO link and Profibus.
Application: m12 A-coding female connector is used for actuator-sensor plug connections for DeviceNet, IO link and Profibus.
Applications: Fieldbus connections for Profibus and Interbus
Applications: Industrial Ethernet, Profinet, Ethernet/IP and EtherCat
Applications: Cat6A, high-speed 10Gbit rugged industrial Ethernet.
Applications: Motor, Frequency-convertors, motor operated switches, PSUs for Power, 620V, 12A
Applications: Fieldbus comp, passive distribution boxes, motors, PSUs for Power, 63V, 12A
Application: L-coded M12 Power Connector with max 16A current comes true the change from big Power vs small Size alternative to both big Power and small Size. It can be used in the PROFINET application on the condition that needing big power supply and small space. Using L-code M12 connectors means no more difficult choices when designing smaller, more powerful PROFINET system components.
