M12 cabling with push-pull fast locking system

Assembled M12 connectors with push-pull fast locking system enable secure, tool-free connections. This guarantees easy, time-saving installation, even in confined spaces and with high cabling density.

High-density connectors in M12 design

In industrial applications, the trend is moving towards increasingly compact designs while still maintaining high packing density. With the 12- and 17-pos. high-density connectors, you can transmit signals in a space saving M12 design. The A-coding is standardized and can be combined with other interfaces.

Easy diagnostics via M12 connector with LED

M12 connectors with integrated LEDs enable you to quickly and easily identify errors in the signal path.

M12 POWER cabling

The M12 power codings (S-, K-, and M-coding) are designed for AC applications such as the power connection of a three-phase motor. The M-coding also supplies 5- and 6-pos. loads with up to 8 A and 690 V. The T- and L-codings are used for low-voltage DC applications, such as supplying power to distributed I/O modules or DC motors. The 4-pos. L-coding is available with an additional functional ground contact as an option. Up to 16 A can be transmitted at a voltage of 63 V.

Signal and power cables

Advanced Shielding Technology optimizes the current design of M12 connectors for the reliable and safe operation of your systems.

During the manufacturing process, liquid metal completely encloses the cable shielding. The material-bonding 360° shielding not only provides improved EMC protection, but also boosts performance. The liquid metal also establishes the connection between the PE contact and the metal-conductive M12 knurl.

Various cables

The PUR cables that we use as standard are halogen-free, resistant to chemicals, oils, and lubricants, and are suitable for drag chain applications. Cost-effective PVC cables can be used in applications where a medium level of mechanical strain is expected. We offer special tailor-made cable qualities for outdoor, food industry, and railway applications.

M17 to M40 signal and power cables

M17 to M40 signal and power cables

Preassembled signal and power cables with connectors in sizes M17 to M40 cover numerous industrial signal applications. They are the right choice for the easy and time-saving connection of electrical drives at transmission capacities up to 150 A/630 V. The entire range covers all the power ranges and designs required.

  • Comprehensive product range with 6- to 17-pos. versions

Molded valve connectors

Valve connectors and cables

The valve connectors and valve connector cables are resistant to temperature, mechanical influences, and oils and grease. Preassembled valve connectors with energy-reducing function reduce the current consumption by up to 50% and enable the use of smaller power supply units.

  • Five different designs (A, B, BI, C, CI) as well as for pressure switches (AD)
  • Valve connectors for outdoor applications in A and AD designs with IP66K/IP68 degree of protection
  • Scope of application from 24 V AC/DC to 230 V AC/DC

DEUTSCH and Superseal connectors

DEUTSCH and Superseal connectors

Molded DEUTSCH and Superseal connectors are mainly used on commercial vehicles, construction machinery, agricultural machines, and forestry machines. They implement safe signal and power transmission and are characterized by their robust design. The molding prevents water, oil, and chemicals from getting in and ensures that the connectors are reliably sealed.

  • Quickly ready to use with the practical clip locking
  • Standardized interfaces and cross-manufacturer plug-in compatibility
  • Safe use with a high degree of protection up to IP69K

Customer-specific cable versions

Sensor cables – customer-specific versions and by the meter

Design the assembled cables in accordance with your specific requirements: In conjunction with connectors designed for assembly and distributors from Phoenix Contact, custom sensor cable and actuator cable lengths can also be produced easily. The Service Center for industrial connectors will transform your requirements into a custom product within just a few days, whether it is for machine building, systems manufacturing, or device manufacturing. We offer this service because, despite our extensive range of industrial connectors, we are not always able to provide solutions from our standard product range for certain customer requirements.
– Flexible ordering, because short cable lengths are also available
– Easy unwinding with cable reels for very long cables
