1) .Are all M12 connectors the same?
There are currently more than twenty different types of M12 connector coding identifiable by an alphabetical letter from A to Y. However, connectors coded A, B, C, D and X are the most frequently used.
2) .Are M12 connectors waterproof?
The M12 connecting interface features waterproof protection (IP65 / IP68 / IP69K), cross-manufacturer compatibility (IEC 61076-2), and multipurpose applications (Signal, Power, Network).
3) .What is the M12 standard connection?
The M12 connector is a circular connector with a 12-mm locking thread that is used primarily in factory automation applications for actuators, sensors, industrial ethernet, and Fieldbus. M12 connectors are designed for washdown and corrosive environments. They are available with 3, 4, 5, 8, and 12 pins.
4) .How to choose the right D-SUB connector for my application?
When choosing the right D-subminiature connector , there are a variety of factors to take into consideration, including operating conditions, housing materials, and pin type. All of these aspects will affect and enable the right configuration for your chosen application.
5) .What is the difference between circular and rectangular connectors?
Circular is ideal for single-use low-power connection points, while rectangular connectors are perfect for high-power or multi-use connection. For some applications, each connection point needs to be separate.
