New device connectors for PROFINET applications

The new M12 device connectors for PROFINET applications from Phoenix Contact extend the comprehensive M12 POWER series power connectors

The connectors are for assembly or can be pre-assembled with litz wires, and enable the transmission of high AC and DC currents in confined spaces.  The L-coded circular connectors are PROFINET-certified and designed for DC applications with 4 or 5 contacts (4+PE), and powers of 16 A / 63 V. The versions for assembly are available as single-piece versions for wave soldering, or as two-piece connectors for reflow processes. The pre-assembled versions are assembled with 1.5 mm² or 2.5 mm² litz wires, and are suitable for front or rear mounting.
