Tips for selecting M12 connectors

1. Current and voltage: M series connectors have a variety of specifications, such as M8, M16, M23, etc. Each product supports different currents and voltages. The first thing to confirm is the size of the current and voltage required.

2. Structural volume: It is necessary to confirm the overall size of the product by docking with the technology, and prepare to select M-size connectors, and whether there are restrictions on height and width. In general, for products with compact design space, it is best to use smaller connectors. Such as M8, M12 series.

3. Working environment: Most of the use occasions are in industrial control automation, so there will be problems in the use environment, such as high and low temperature resistance, salt spray resistance, corrosion resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, etc., need to be selected according to the field use. Match, because it will be related to the normal operation of future products.

4. Installation method: M12 connector socket has two ways of front nut locking and rear nut locking, which are designed for different product design applications. Panel openings also vary in size, and key coding is a top priority. It has the function of anti-error insertion and 100M gigabit network signal transmission, which needs to be confirmed with the structural engineer.

5. On-site use: The use of M12 aviation plugs requires on-site assessment in advance. You can buy prefabricated cable plugs from our company. Meters, can be produced on demand. The advantage is high protection level, stable and reliable. You can also choose the on-site assembly of the M12 aviation plug connector.
