Binder’s M12 K-code connectors

Binder USA LP has expanded its M12 product family with the addition of the M12–L, a dc power supply Profinet compliant connector, and the M12-K, an ac power supply connector. The cordsets are ready to mount with preassembled male and female panel mount connectors. M12 power connectors are commonly used for industrial networks in process and manufacturing automation.

The M12-K and M12-L are IP67/IP68 in mated condition, ensuring protection from liquids and debris, with a standard wire length of 200 mm. Gold-plated contacts provide low contact resistance and each receptacle is prewired with 16-gauge wires using UL PVC wiring. The K-Coded version is rated up to 630 Vac, 12 A per contact and the L-Coded rated up to 63 Vdc, 16 A.
