Brad from Molex Circular Connector, 4 Contacts, Cable Mount, M12 Connector, Plug, Male, 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.

Use this Brad from Molex cable mount connector to link your sensors to other equipment. Its brass contacts are highly conductive so make a reliable connection. They're also silver plated to protect them from rust and ensure long-lasting performance. The component's integrated cable gland ensures effective cable retention, making it suitable for use in vibrating systems. Its modular design means it's easy to dismantle and assemble during installation. You'll find it used in industrial automation processes.

• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +90°C for use in both hot and cold environments
• Easy screw-in termination means no tools are needed for installation
• Polyamide housing for durability and insulation from electric shock
• Supports AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) supply voltages for versatile use

• Measurement and instrumentation
• Process control
• Industrial networking

This connector has an IP67 (ingress protection) rating, so it can withstand dust and immersion in up to 1m of water for 30 minutes. This means it's waterproof and can be used in wet and humid environments.
