    M12 Connectors

    These connectors run the automated world, from robot arms and photoelectric sensors to PLCs, IO-Link devices, and Ethernet switches. The original metric circular connector, they continue to be the standard today. They screw together tightly to protect against contaminants and hold firm against high vibration. Each one has a coding that indicates a unique keyway, preventing mismated connection errors before they happen. The coding also tells you whether a connector can send power, control, or data. Some can send a combination of the three, reducing the need for multiple connectors.

    Shielded

    Shielded—Shielding blocks electrical noise from motors, drives, and other equipment, preventing erratic readings, false triggers, and data errors that cause downtime. Use these connectors near high-interference sources or anywhere with shielded cable, such as fieldbus networks, sensors, and encoders.
