What Is an M12 Connector?
M12 cables are cables that are terminated with M12 connectors on one or both ends, and an M12 connector is a type of circular connector with a 12 mm locking thread. It offers quick and reliable connections in machine industrial automation, manufacturing, machine tool application, and beyond. M12 connectors come with either 3, 4, 5, 8, or 12 pins.
Here is a breakdown of where each of these varieties could be used:
- 3 and 4 pins are typically used in sensors and power applications
- Applications with PROFINET and ethernet require 4 and 8 pins
- 4 and 5 pin counts are used for applications involving Fieldbus, CAN bus, and DeviceNet
- For better signal, 12 pins are your best bet
These are just a few of the ways in which the varieties of M12 connectors can be used, but the list goes beyond this as well.
