M12 connectors from Conec

M12 X 1 circular connectors of the Sensor Actor Line from CONEC are used to connect a distributor box and a sensor. The M12 style connector comes with a screw lock, used for low voltage and has between 2 and 8 contacts. These M style connectors may also be coded. Three of the common used keyed types are: A-Coded; used with Sensor Actuators B-Coded; used with field buses D-Coded; used with Industrial Ethernet

Moulded to cable

These connectors, available with 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12 contacts provide innovative connection technology fulfilling the requirements of protection class IP 67. The standard programme has moulded versions with anti-vibration locking and they come in various cable lengths and quality. Components with 2 or 3 LEDs are available to indicate operating voltage and/or the switching status.

When it gets really tough: Shielded connectors from CONEC protect and bypass weak signals. A uniform cable shielding ensures seamless signal transmission. Connection cables with a combination of connectors and/or adapters can be used for nearly any cabling application, plus they can be used on many types of machinery using capacitive, inductive or optical sensors.

Loose-field-attachable

Field attachable connectors from CONEC give you the freedom and flexibility to react to the cabling situation on site or to build your own M12 cables. Practical, cost-effective and, above all, flexible solutions for quick cabling are required for both small series as well as special purpose machines. This programme comprises 4 or 5 pole connectors and adapters with anti-vibration locking - in a straight or angled construction as well as in shielded versions. You can choose between screw and clamp connections as well as a maximum cable diameter of 6 or 8mm.

Sockets, PCB or wire

Connectors and adapters with 4, 5 and 8 contacts are available  with 0.5mm long single wires as well as well as pin contacts for the M12x1 connection to the device. Front mounted flange connectors with wires are also available and can be positioned with a lock nut. Flange connectors and adapters for rear housing mounting; with different length pin contacts for soldering directly on the printed circuit board complete the programme. An installation flange for direct assembly on the printed circuit board is also available with a shielded connection option in an axial and angled version. A spring-loaded shield plate connects the flange housing directly to the printed circuit board, which is especially important in bus applications. All products in this series are designed for a printed circuit board thickness of 1.6mm and a device wall thickness of 2-3mm. You can select from two different installation heights (10.0mm and 5.5mm) for the axial version.

Special Connectors for the Food industry

M8/M12 sensor connectors; heavy-duty rectangular and circular connectors on the machinery and PCB and I/O connectors for the control boards and control equipment like servomotors or inverters designed to operate in the food industry, where hygiene and thus cleaning of machines with aggressive cleaning agents, water, and pressure hoses is important will require high IP grades (IP65/68 and IP69K) and corrosion-resistant shells and housings.
 

Conec now offers a full line of industrial grade connectors and connection systems that include rugged IP67 to IP69K sealing and ease of mateability for harsh factory conditions. Compliant with the highest levels of protection required by IEC specifications, Conec's Industrial Circular M12 connectors feature a robust stainless steel housing that is entirely dustproof and waterproof. These resilient connectors retain their integrity even under the harsh conditions found in the food processing industry.
The new series provides a variety of M12 connector options that can be especially customized for the food and beverage market, which has very specific requirements regarding quality of materials used to meet strict hygiene requirements. Conec industrial grade connectors are resistant to the harsh cleaning agents commonly used in high pressure cleaning processes.
Also, as uptime and productivity are crucial to meeting production and packaging goals in food and beverage applications, and because the Industrial Circular M12 Connectors are sealed and feature rugged housing, they provide wear-free connectivity for the highest level of reliability and long-term stability. This robustness makes them ideal for food processing applications that require continuous production cycles.
