From Lapp, the CIRCON M23 series of circular connectors are a rugged and compact solution to industrial connector applications. With a standard M23 threaded housing for easy and assured mating, the connectors also form a tight seal when mated to prevent environmental ingress. Coupled with their nickel-plated zinc shell, which offers excellent mechanical protection, the CIRCON M23 series of connectors are durable and reliable.

The easy to assemble connector kits also feature an indented area for use with colour coding rings, which are an ideal way to identify connectors for quick and easy cable management.

These cable mounted connectors also include an EMC shield ring which provides 360 degree shielding, as well as a cable gland which prevents wear and tear on the cable assembly.

Features and Benefits

• Designed to DIN Specification EN61984
• Protection Class IP68
• Resistant to Vibration, Corrosion and EMI
• Contact resistance <4mΩ
• Quick and Easy Assembly
• Easy to Identify Marker System
• Operating Temperature Range -25°C to +125°C

Environment

These robust connectors seal to IP68, which means they are highly resistant to dust ingress and resistant to water even when temporarily submerged. As such, they are suitable for use in harsh indoor environments, and even for some outdoor applications.
The connector is also designed to be resistant to damage by vibration, which makes them suitable for use with heavy industrial machinery.

Applications
These CIRCON M23 circular connectors are for use with multicore cables in a variety of industrial control signal applications, and for servo drive encoder feedback.
