M12x1 connectors offer bayonet quick-locking for industrial environments

16-07-2021 | TTI Europe | Connectors, Switches & EMECH

The Amphenol Industrial CONEC M12x1 connectors are designed according to the draft standard IEC CD 61076-2-011/Ed1. These connectors are available now from TTI Europe.

To satisfy the mechanical demands about tightness to dust and liquid media in industrial environments, no additional tools are needed for the new M12 bayonet version. When locked, the demands of protection degrees IP65, IP67 and IP69K are met.

Also, the new series is shock and vibration resistant according to the railway requirements IEC 61373:2010, class 1B. The bayonet locking variant, therefore, provides simplified handling and at the same time secure transmission of signals and data to the user. The coupling sockets with solder pin termination are also furnished with an internal thread in the mating area, ensuring 100% backwards compatibility with standard M12 connectors.

The connectors are ideal for automation technology, drive technology, housing and device production, machine manufacturing, industrial interfaces, communications, security and surveillance systems, agricultural and construction machines, and transportation industry.
