M12 Circular Connector Design Requirements

The M12 connector is a metric circular connector product suitable for industrial automation and other harsh environments that require compact, robust, and reliable power, signal and data transmission performance. Considered one of the most common connectors in the industrial market, the M12 is the backbone connector for IIoT Internet system connections. 1. Standard M12 connector complies with iec61076-2-101: 2012 standard. The first IEC standard was published in 2003 and is currently undergoing its third revision. A new push-pull M12 standard IC 61076-2-010 was released in 2021. 2. Cable Notes The M12 connector is usually composed of Cat5e and Cat6A cable types. 3. Mounting Options The M12 offers a variety of mounting options, including through-hole, surface mount, and wave welding. 4. The material is the metal material used for the M12 housing, including stainless steel, brass, copper, alloy, etc. 5. Rugged M12 connector and cable assemblies are designed to ensure high reliability and performance for harsh environment applications, including extreme temperatures, radiation, rough handling, chemicals and other environmental factors. 6. Sealed M12 connectors include IP67, IP68, IP69, etc. Waterproofing and sealing are particularly important in fluid and pneumatic configurations. 7. Electromagnetic interference Electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) is an important issue in the environment where electronic equipment is used. There are options for connectors and cable assemblies without shielding and shielding. 8. Operational Benefits The M12 connector is designed to provide quick and easy connection even in difficult situations. There are blind fit options with screw, bayonet, push-pull locking mechanisms. Add a guarantee of personalization with keypresses, color coding and LED options. And they are very compatible. Suitable for factory automation and control systems, I/O modules, sensors, actuators, motors, Industry 4.0 and intranet applications, renewable energy), automotive (manufacturing), transportation (heavy equipment, agricultural equipment), machinery, etc.
