M12 A Coded 5 Pin Female Molded Connector for Cable, Plastic Shell, Solder Type, Straight
Introduction
This M12 connector is a durable and cost-effective solution for industrial connectivity. Featuring a robust plastic shell and a threaded coupling mechanism, it ensures a secure connection with an IP67 rating, making it dust-tight and capable of withstanding temporary immersion. Its straight, molded field-wireable design allows for quick and easy cable assembly and termination directly on-site, streamlining installation and maintenance processes.
Engineered for reliable performance, this connector houses 5 gold-plated CuZn contacts with solder cup terminations, providing excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is rated for 60V and 4A, supporting a range of sensor and device applications. The A-coding guarantees correct mating with standard A-coded male connectors, preventing misconnection. Operating reliably in temperatures from -25°C to +85°C, this unshielded connector is a versatile choice for various industrial automation environments.
