Katlax, a leading brand and a preferred manufacturer of wired connectivity products, introducing a new series of M12 connector feature 8-position, A-coded M12 connectors for use in sensor, actuator, or field bus applications. The single keyway A-code M12 connectors are IP67-rated when mated and are excellent for applications in harsh environments where connector screw-down is required.

If you want to obtain safe, reliable, sealed, and waterproof signal connections between actuators, sensors and industrial equipment, robots, and automation equipment, IP67 circular waterproof M12 8 pin connector pinout is a better choice. The M12 connector is a component frequently touched by electronic engineering professionals and an indispensable component in electronic products.

Introducing the coding type of M12 connector. Common coding types of M12 connectors: A coding, B coding, D coding etc.

M12 8 Pin Connector Features

The connector is designed for a variety of different industrial application environments, provides a variety of material connection cable options. Has the following characteristics:

1. Reduce wiring so that the equipment can be put into operation quickly.
2. Reduced downtime and maintenance time.
3. Resistance to oil, coolant, lubricant, and emulsion.
4. Suitable for the harshest environments such as petroleum, chemical industry, steel, electric power, automobile manufacturing, etc.
5. Good mechanical and electrical properties ensure stability and reliability.
6. The shielded version straight connector is also available in male & female
7. The shielded connector has good anti-electromagnetic interference performance.
8. The screw termination method allows for a secure and reliable connection between the connector and the wires. It typically involves using screws to clamp down on the stripped ends of the wires, ensuring a tight and stable electrical contact.
9. Field Wiring: The M12 8-pin field connector with screw termination is designed for field wiring applications, meaning it is suitable for connecting wires in the field or on-site. The screw termination method allows for easy installation and maintenance, as it does not require any special tools or soldering.
10. IP Rating: These connectors often have an IP67 or higher rating, which means they provide a high level of protection against dust and water ingress. This makes them suitable for use in harsh and demanding environments.

Katlax is trusted company specializing in R&D, production, and sales of M12/M8 connectors, splitters/adapters, wiring harness and IO Junction Box.

Applications

1. M12 A coded connector is used for device network, IO link and Profibus actuator sensor plug connection
2. M12 connectors with screw termination are commonly used in industrial automation, machinery, control systems, robotics, and other applications where reliable connections and ruggedness are required.

When using an M12 8-pin field connector with screw termination, it is important to ensure proper wiring and secure tightening of the screws to maintain a reliable electrical connection. Additionally, check the compatibility of the connector with your specific devices or systems, considering factors such as pin configuration, voltage rating, and current capacity.
