Key Points about M12 Circular Connectors:
1. M12 refers to the metric thread size with a diameter of 12 mm.
This standard diameter allows for rugged and secure connections.
2. M12 Circular Connectors are usually equipped with a bayonet lock
with a twist-locking mechanism for a secure connection without
accidentally disconnecting.
3. Common configurations are 4-pin, 5-pin, and 8-pin. Each pin has
a specific position and number for wiring identification.
4. Sealing ratings range from IP67 (dust and water proof) to IP69K
(high pressure/high temperature wash down resistant). Suitable for
harsh industrial environments.
5. Common applications include factory automation and process
control, automotive sensors, machine tools, photoelectric sensors,
hydraulic/pneumatic systems, and more.
6. Materials include zinc die-cast or thermoplastic bodies for
durability. Contacts are usually brass with gold or tin plating.
7. Includes both male and female gender connectors, which are
designed to fit securely with each other via a bayonet lock.
8. Accessories include jumpers, mounting adapters, socket inserts,
etc., to facilitate integration into different applications.
9. Standards like DIN EN 17340 specify requirements for
construction, performance, pinouts, etc to ensure manufacturer
interoperability.
