Brad from Molex Circular Connector, 4 Contacts, Cable Mount, M12 Connector, Socket, Female, IP67, Micro-Change Series

From Brad, the Micro-Change series of M12 circular connectors designed for cable mounting. The re-wireable circular connectors have a threaded mating interface with A coding preventing improper mating. With simple screw termination, the Micro-Change series requires no additional tooling. Perfect for rapid replacement and repair in the field, reducing valuable downtime. With an IP67 protection rating, the Micro-Change compact connectors are ideally suited to harsh environments that demand a more robust interconnection solution. Connectors can be terminated to M12 single ended cable assemblies to make jumper leads and extension cables.

• M12 plugs and sockets in 4 and 5 pole
• Easy to assemble
• A coded, for sensors, DC power, and 1 G-bit Ethernet
• IP67 ingress protection rating
• Integrated PG7 Cable gland, ensuring excellent cable retention
• Straight or 90° cable entry
• A threaded mating mechanism for a secure connection
• Re-wireable – no special tooling required
• Silver plated brass contacts

The Micro-Change M12 connectors are ideally suited to industrial applications. The connectors are traditionally used when connecting sensors, actuators, valves and cylinders in the heavy industrial fields. Some of the more common areas are

• Machine building – CNC machines, packaging machines
• Factory Automation – Automotive production lines, conveying and sorting machines, Robotics, Food and beverage, material handling
• Commercial Vehicles – Construction vehicles, Agricultural machinery, Rubbish trucks, Military vehicles
• Industrial Automation and instrumentation

The Micro Change series of connectors are waterproof and have an IP67 ingress protection rating. This means the connectors are dustproof and are protected from powerful jets of water from all directions.

Q – Are the connectors easy to terminate?
A - Yes they are, the Micro-Change M12 connectors have screw terminals so no additional tooling is required. The connectors can be quickly connected in the field.
Q - How robust are the connectors?
A – The connectors are extremely hard wearing. They are manufactured from high-grade engineering materials, strong, and reliable.

Ensure high-quality electrical transmission for your cables with this Brad from Molex M12 circular connector. Its right-angle orientation makes it simple to install in tight or awkward spaces. The four elements push together to create a tight construction that insulates currents from signal loss and interference. Thanks to the connector's nylon body material, it's a lightweight option that prevents strain on your cables and is highly resistant to abrasion. You can rely on this unit across a broad temperature range of -25°C to +90°C, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.

• IP67 (ingress protection) rating indicates resistance to dust and water
• Screw terminal makes installation simple without the need for specialist tools
• Threaded mating interface with A-type coding to prevent damage caused by improper mating

• Packaging machinery
• Robotics applications
• Food and beverage manufacturing
• Agricultural machinery

This connector’s contacts are made of highly conductive copper for reliable signal transmission. The contacts are silver-plated to prevent corrosion and rust, ensuring long-lasting and reliable performance.
