TE Connectivity extends its M12 connector portfolio with 8 and 12 positions for direct mounting onto PCBs and panels to complement field-installable connector and cable assembly solutions. The new plug-in PCB connectors are easy to install and help to increase production efficiency and decrease installation cost for installers in industrial automation, machinery, industrial ethernet, sensors, and other areas where protection is needed. The high pin density on the 12-pin connector, in particular, provides customers with a very compact design. Adding this product series to our portfolio allows us to better serve our customers and accommodate their needs for higher signal and data transmission in harsh industrial environments.
