It’s no new phenomenon that industrial devices are shrinking in size while the functional demands of electrical interfaces are expanding. What is new is the advancing range of performance now available with M12 connectors.
Traditional cables and connectors used to power devices are typically bulky with large circulars. Now, the compact M12 form factor is ready for power applications. Traditional M12 sensor connectors provided current up to 4 amps max. With the newly designed M12 power current, up to 16 amps is now achievable.
A complete range of cable assemblies, field-wireable connectors, and panel-mounted receptacles provides a quick disconnect system for plug-n-play power.
