Automotive Waterproof Cable Connector IP67 IP68 2 - 17 Pin M12 Female Connector
The M12 Panel Flange Connector serves as the enclosure-faceplate interface of the industrial M12 system. It features an M12×1.0 threaded coupling face on the outside of control cabinets, sensor boxes, IO modules, or edge gateways, while the rear tail terminates as PCB DIP pins (180°/90°), solder cups, Faston tabs, or pre-wired fly leads that connect directly to internal boards or terminal strips.
When mated with a standard M12 cordset, the panel penetration maintains IP67 sealing (with optional IP68/IP69K) against dust, rain, oil mist, and hose-down conditions. Compliant with IEC 61076-2-101/2-104 standards, it interoperates with all major brand M12 plugs including Phoenix, Turck, TE, Molex, and Balluff.
- Integrated sealed board connection eliminates internal splices
- Coding system prevents field mis-mating with exclusive keyways
- Current ratings: 4A (2-5 pin), 2A (6-8 pin), 1.5A (12/17 pin)
- Multiple mounting options: front, rear, 4-hole flange, straight & 90° PCB
- Gold-plated phosphor-bronze contacts with ≤5 mΩ resistance
- Reduces BOM compared to gland + terminal block + strain relief solutions
- Field-repairable design maintains panel-mounted receptacle during board RMA
