M12x1 connectors have been the basic elements of automation technology in mechanical and plant engineering for a long time. The requirements for connectors have become more and more diverse in the last few years. This means in particular that these connectors can be terminated to various cables in a quick and simple way without special tools.

CONEC has re-engineered the contact design for its M12x1 Connectors. The contacts can now take up wire cross-sections of max. 1.5 mm² incl. wire-end sleeve. With a wire cross-section of 1.5 mm², the connector is able to transmit up to 7.5 A per contact. Now the 5th contact can be terminated in vertical direction just like the contacts 1 – 4. An essential point is that the outer shape of the connectors has not been modified in any way.

Benefits

+Field attachable simple and quick without special tools
+Cross section up to max. 1.5 mm² incl. wire-end sleeve
+Current rating up to 7.5 A
+Vertical termination of contact no. 5

Applications

-Mechanical engineering
-Renewable energies
-Building installation
-Drive technology
-Assembly and production lines
-Rotary encoders
