Use these connectors with servomotor, servocontrollers, and servodrives in automated equipment and assembly lines. Rated NEMA 4X, IP67, and IP69K, they resist corrosion and protect against high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. When mating connectors, the gender, housing thread location, and pole layout must be opposite. Poles are numbered on the face of the connector.

Power connectors deliver electricity to run a servomotor.

Signal connectors communicate between servocontrollers, servodrives, and servomotors.

Siemens-Compatible Servomotor M23 Connectors

4 Pole (Gray Poles Not Wired)

6 Pole

Choose a socket for your Siemens M23 plugs to power servocontrollers and servomotors in automated equipment and on assembly lines. Sockets mate with male plugs that have external housing thread and a clockwise pole layout. Poles are labeled on the face of the socket.

4-pole socket has six holes on the face; two holes are not wired.

Sockets with continuous-flex cables withstand frequent movement, such as in robotics.

Sockets with brake wires stop and hold a motor in a desired position.
