M12 electrical molded cable connectors, which are welded and injection-molded, come in both shielded and unshielded versions. They offer reliable connections in harsh conditions and various climatic environments.

Shield and Non-shield

Shielded connectors have a metal shield that protects against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, so they are effective in environments with high levels of electromagnetic or radio frequency interference. In contrast, unshielded connectors, lacking such a shield, are not protected against such interference. However, in environments with less interference, such as offices or homes, they typically deliver adequate performance and are more affordable.

FAQ

The M12 connector is a circular connector with a 12 mm locking thread. Suitable for factory automation applications, actuators, sensors, industrial Ethernet and fieldbus, etc. M12 connectors are also useful in flushing and corroding environments. They are available with 3, 4, 5, 8, and 12 pins.

M8 connectors, with an 8-mm circular coupler, are specifically used in industrial automated systems, typically linking sensors, actuators, and switches. M8 connectors can be used for similar applications as M12, but have a smaller footprint incorporating an 8mm threaded head.

For data applications, there are five main types of M12 connectors with key positions A, B, C, D or X. These connectors are available with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, or 17 pins. Depending on the number of signals, type of signals, type of interface involved in the connection, and the connector code.

The M12 name comes from the metric thread on the coupling nut and mating socket of most connectors. They are basically 12 mm diameter fasteners with an M12 thread.
