M12 A Coded 3 Pin Female Field Wireable Connector, Straight, Plastic Shell, PG7 / PG9
Introduction
This M12 A-coded 3-pin female field wireable connector offers a robust and reliable solution for industrial connectivity. Designed for easy field installation, this straight M12 connector features a plastic shell with PG7/PG9 thread aperture, accommodating various cable sizes. The screw joint termination ensures secure and stable connections for conductors ranging from 20 to 26 AWG. Its durable construction and IP67 protection make it suitable for demanding environments. This unshielded connector complies with IEC 61076-2-101 standards and provides consistent performance for a wide range of applications.
This M12 connector is engineered for flexibility and durability. The combination of brass (zinc-plated) and plastic housing provides both mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The gold-plated CuZn contacts ensure excellent conductivity and minimize contact resistance. With an insulation resistance exceeding 100MΩ and a durability of 500 mating cycles, this connector is designed for long-term reliability in harsh industrial settings.
