It is straight wired and this converter provides an IP67 rated connection. Temperature rating for this adapter is -25 to 85 degrees Celsius.
M12 to M12 Converters
– M12 to M12 converters, as previously mentioned, are devices used to connect two M12 cables or connectors together.
– This M12-to-M12 male to female converter is designed to mate an M12-to-M12 connection or swap genders in a sensor actuator, Profibus, ProfiNet and Ethernet application.
– They allow for the extension or joining of M12 connections without the need for additional cables or rewiring. These converters typically have a male M12 connector on one end and a female M12 connector on the other end.
– They come in various coding options (A-coded, B-coded, or D-coded) to match the coding of the M12 cables or connectors being connected.
M12 to M8 Converters
– M12 to M8 converters, on the other hand, are devices used to connect an M12 cable or connector to an M8 cable or connector.
– They enable the compatibility and transition between the two different connector types.
– M8 connectors are smaller in size compared to M12 connectors and are commonly used in certain industrial automation and sensor applications.
– M12 to M8 converters typically have a male M12 connector on one end and a female M8 connector on the other end. This allows for the connection of an M12 cable or device to an M8 cable or device.
– The converters may require proper pin configuration mapping between the two connector types to ensure the correct electrical connections.
