M12 High Temp / Food and Beverage types

Tough and robust, waterproof, circular M12 screw connectors are the de-facto standard in the process industry for reliable automated connections: protected to IP67 when mated for general or High Temp (+125°C) and IP69K for Food + Beverage Industry types.

Description

Description

In2Connect now offers a full line of industrial grade connectors and connection systems that include rugged IP67 High Temperature and IP69K sealing and ease of mateability for harsh factory conditions. Compliant with the highest levels of protection required by IEC specifications, these Industrial Circular M12 connectors feature a robust stainless steel housing that is dustproof and waterproof to IP67 and will interface with industry standard valves like Parker Hannifin’s Isys HA and HB ISO 15407-1 valves which feature a central four-pin M12 connector that offers a single electrical connection for double and single solenoids through a cord set linked to an I/O distribution block or an M12 fieldbus output module.

These resilient connectors retain their integrity even under the harsh conditions found in the food processing industry.
M12 connectors especially customised for the food and beverage (F&B) market, use very specific materials to meet that sector’s strict hygiene requirements.
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 IP67/IP69K 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 and the harsh cleaning agents commonly used in high pressure cleaning processes.

Applications

Applications

M8/M12 (F+B) sensor circular connectors are regularly used in machinery or as PCB and I/O connectors on 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. Any such application will benefit from the high IP grades and corrosion-resistant shells and housings that these connectors provide.
