M12 Connector Waterproof Cable Assembly

Description

What is M12 cable assembly?

In the realm of factory automation, the M12 connector emerges as a key player. This circular connector, boasting a 12-mm locking thread, is a linchpin in linking actuators, sensors, and various industrial network systems like ethernet and Fieldbus. Tailored for environments where washdowns and corrosive conditions are the norm, M12 connectors are versatile, available in pin configurations of 3, 4, 5, 8, and 12, each tailored to specific application demands. For sensors and power-centric tasks, 3 and 4 pins are pivotal; whereas, for PROFINET and ethernet, 4 and 8 pins are the go-to. In the realms of Fieldbus, CAN bus, and DeviceNet, the preference often lies with 4 and 5 pins, with 12 pins serving complex signal demands. Our comprehensive M12 system not only includes connectors but extends to IO modules and a variety of M12 cable assemblies. These connectors find their place in a plethora of fields ranging from agriculture and alternative energy to communications, robotics, and beyond.

In the sphere of M12 cables and connectors, we see a deliberate design for a multitude of sectors including sensor and industrial automation, network and telecommunication realms, as well as LED lighting, marine environments, packaging, and manufacturing equipment. YCABLE ELECTRONICS caters to a wide spectrum of needs, offering solutions for signal, power, Ethernet, and hybrid M12 cable and connector configurations.
