M12 4 Pin D Coded Molded Ethernet Connector for Cable, Field Wireable, Solder Type, Straight
Introduction
The M12 connector is engineered for secure and high-performance data transmission in industrial Ethernet applications. Featuring a threaded coupling and straight configuration, it ensures a stable, vibration-resistant connection. Its molded field-wireable design with solder termination allows reliable cable assembly on-site, making it suitable for demanding networking environments.
Constructed with a nickel-plated brass housing and gold-plated CuZn contacts, this connector provides excellent corrosion resistance, conductivity, and long service life. The shielded design enhances signal integrity by reducing EMI, while the IP67 protection ensures durability against dust and water. With a rating of 250V, 4A, and an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C, it delivers consistent performance in harsh industrial conditions.
