Micro M12 Cords
The threaded ends on these cords seal out contaminants and resist coming loose from vibration in tough industrial environments and automated systems while sending power and signal to devices with M12 connections. Poles and keyways on the connector face adhere to standard coding layouts, reducing the chance of mismatching connections during setup.
A-coded cords work with AC and DC sensors, actuators, motors, light curtains, and other devices. They’re also often used to connect equipment to IO Link controllers and within Profibus, DeviceNet, and other fieldbus systems.
Cords with PVC insulation work well in general purpose applications, but they shouldn’t be used outdoors. While flexible, these cords aren’t as flexible as cords with polyurethane or TPE insulation, making them best for stationary jobs.
Use unshielded cords in applications where signal interference isn’t a concern.
Cords with a 90° elbow run along the side of equipment, so they fit behind machines and in tight spaces.
When mated, the connectors are IP rated to block out dust and water if briefly submersed. IP66K rated connectors can be sprayed down during high-pressure washdowns.
Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

Nano M8 Cords
Also known as pico cords, these cords are often used with low-current 8 mm proximity and photoelectric switches.
Cords with polyurethane insulation bend easily, so they are ideal for applications that require continuous flexibility such as robotics. They also resist oil.
Cords with 90° elbow plugs and sockets fit flush against equipment, so they fit in tight spaces.
All are rated IP67 for protection from dust and temporary submersion. Cords rated IP66K also protect against washdowns.
