5 8 12 Pin M12 Sensor Connector A Coded Front Mount Threaded Flange Socket Male Plug
The M12 Field-Assemblable Connector serves as a cable-end unit that can be assembled on location, functioning as an alternative to standard factory-overmolded M12 cable assemblies. Instead of purchasing pre-made cables with fixed lengths, users can utilize their own cable by stripping the outer jacket, inserting wires into the contact holder via screwdriver (or through soldering/crimping), and securing the connector shell with an M12×1.0 threaded locking ring.
This connector meets IEC 61076-2-101 (sensor/actuator) and IEC 61076-2-109 (X-coded Ethernet) standards, is compatible with standard M12 panel receptacles and mating plugs, and achieves IP67 sealing when properly assembled with the correct O-ring and cable gland.
Ideal for maintenance personnel, custom equipment manufacturers, and system integrators who require immediate solutions without the 2-4 week wait for custom overmolded cables or need to repair broken sensor cables quickly on the factory floor.
- Custom Cable Lengths: Cut cables to exact measurements on-site, eliminating reliance on preset lengths
- Field Repairable: Quickly repair damaged cables by cutting away impaired sections and rebuilding connectors
- IP67 Sealed: Dual O-rings provide protection against dust, oil, coolant, and temporary submersion
- Keyed Connections: Physical keying prevents incorrect hookups and wiring errors
- Multiple Current Ratings: Supports 4A (2-5 pin), 2A (6-8 pin), and 1.5A (12/17 pin) configurations
- Flexible Termination: Screw-clamp, solder, or insulation displacement attachment options
- Material Options: PA66+GF plastic or nickel-plated brass casing for various applications
- Inventory Efficiency: Reduced stock requirements compared to pre-molded cable alternatives
