Panel Mount M12 A Coded 4 Pin Male Connector for PCB, Bulkhead, Straight
introduction
This high-performance Panel Mount M12 A-Coded 4 Pin Male Connector is specifically engineered for robust and reliable signal transmission in demanding industrial environments. Designed as a Panel Receptacle Connector with a secure Threaded Coupling mechanism, it provides an IP67-rated waterproof seal when mated, ensuring maximum durability and operational stability. Its straight orientation and PCB Mount termination make it an ideal bulkhead solution for securely mounting on equipment panels and connecting directly to printed circuit boards.
Constructed with a rugged brass body and a nickel-plated shell, this connector features high-conductivity gold-plated (Au) CuZn contacts, ensuring excellent electrical performance and superior corrosion resistance. It is rated for a substantial 250V of voltage and a 4A current, suitable for standard sensor, actuator, and DC power applications utilizing A-coding. The wide operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C confirms its suitability for harsh operational conditions, making it a reliable component for factory automation and control systems.
