Because they tightly thread to M12 connections, these connectors won’t let contaminants in or come loose from vibration in rugged industrial environments and automated systems as they send power and signal or just power to your equipment. Their poles and keyways adhere to standard coding layouts, reducing the chance you’ll mismatch connectors.

A- and C-coded connectors send both power and signal, while K-, L-, S-, and T-coded connectors only send power. Choose A-coded connectors for AC and DC sensors, actuators, motors, light curtains, and other devices. They’re often used to connect equipment to IO Link controllers and within Profibus, DeviceNet, and other fieldbus systems.

Receptacles thread into panels and walls, making them best for stationary or permanent installations such as control panels. IP67 and IP68 rated connectors can withstand brief submersion. Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP and NEMA ratings when not in use.

Note: Sockets and female receptacles may have extra holes on their face that are not used.

Connectors secure with a quarter turn when mated, yet unlock and pull apart with minimal force. All have the same pin and socket configurations as MIL-DTL-26482, so they are compatible with other products that meet the same standard. They’re rated IP67 to protect against dust and temporary submersion. When mating connectors, the gender and housing lock location must be opposite. Poles are labeled with letters on the face of the connectors to ensure proper connection.

Crimpers (sold separately) are required for wire installation.

Combine power, USB, computer, and compressed air inserts to build a connector that sends signal, power, and data. A complete connector requires a hood, a base, two frames, and a male and female insert for each slot in the frame. The frames fit into the hood and base, and the inserts snap into the frame. Select components based on the number of slots needed. Once assembled, connectors are rated NEMA 4X, 12, and IP65 for protection against dirt, washdowns, and oil/coolant dripping.

Crimpers (sold separately) are required for wire installation for crimp-on connectors. They ratchet to ensure the correct pressure is applied to every crimp.

Extraction tools (sold separately) make it easier to remove pins or sleeves from 17- and 20-pole power inserts.

The smallest latching connectors we offer, these fit in tight spaces. Use them to protect connections while maintaining access. The base and hood latch together securely yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement.

Latching connectors with cord grips protect cable from strain and remain secure even if cable is accidentally tugged. Connectors with two cord grips are typically used to create a disconnection point on equipment that cannot have a panel cutout, such as curved or compact equipment.

Crimp on wire connections are more secure than screw terminal wire connections and hold up to bending and twisting. Use a crimping tool to install the crimping pins. For 12-pole connectors, you also need a positioner to hold pins at the correct height while crimping. Crimping tool and positioner are both sold separately. IP65 rated connectors protect against dust and rinsing.

Attach wires to your circuit board with these Amphenol PV connectors. They push together, so they're easy to connect and disconnect yet still give you a strong, secure hold. Even after repeated use, they won’t lose their connection strength. First designed for use in solar power—the PV stands for photovoltaic—they’re also used in equipment ranging from small electronics to industrial robots.

For a complete connection, choose a plug and housing with the number of poles that matches the number of wires you need to connect. You’ll also need one sleeve for each wire.

Plugs have a friction clip to securely hold a housing when mated. An alignment key ensures the plug and housing are mated correctly, which is helpful when you can't get a good look during installation. To install a plug on your circuit board, push their contacts through the board's holes and solder them in place.

Connect wires to your circuit board with these Molex KK push-in connectors. A good choice for prototyping, they require less force to disassemble than Amphenol PV connectors. However, this means that they are less secure in more demanding applications.

Plugs have a friction clip to securely hold the housing when mated. They also have an alignment key that ensures the plug and housing are mated correctly, which is helpful when you can’t get a good look during installation. To install the plug on your circuit board, push the contacts through the board’s holes and solder them in place. The pins are gold-plated brass, so they resist corrosion better than tin- or nickel-plated pins. This means they’ll have a good, long-lasting electrical connection.

Insertion tools (sold separately) are helpful for assembling small wires.

Extraction tools (sold separately) release the locking mechanism on sleeves to remove them from housings.

Connect wires to circuit boards with Molex Mini-Fit push-in connectors. These connectors are easier to detach than Amphenol PV connectors, so they’re often used for prototyping. A complete connector consists of a sleeve housing, sleeves, and a circuit board plug (all sold separately). To assemble these connectors, crimp sleeves onto your wires, then place them inside a sleeve housing. Once you’ve wired the sleeve housing, slide it onto a circuit board plug.

Plugs have an alignment key that ensures the plug and housing are mated correctly, which is helpful when you can’t get a good look during installation. A locking tab holds the housing and plug together once they’re mated. To install the plug on your circuit board, push the contacts through the board’s holes and solder them in place. All plugs have gold-plated brass pins, which are more corrosion resistant than tin- or nickel-plated pins, so the electrical connection lasts longer. Plugs with snap-in pegs relieve stress on the terminal when plugging and unplugging wires.

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.

Signal connectors communicate between servocontrollers, servodrives, and servomotors.

Reduce the number of electrical connections in sanitary areas, such as food plants. These connectors combine Ethernet, a power cable, and wire for signals into a single connection point, so there are fewer places for bacteria to hide and grow. Their smooth surface and rounded edges are free of gaps where germs and liquids could collect, making them easy to clean. An EPDM gasket and silicone O-ring seal out water and contaminants.

These connectors, as well as their gasket, O-ring, and cable gland, are FDA compliant, which means they’re safe to directly touch food. IP69 rated when connected, they also block out dust and stand up to intense washdowns.

All connectors have 12 poles and 1 ground connection, which is not wired.

Add a cover to protect your connector’s poles and maintain its IP rating when not connected. Covers with a lanyard attach to the connector’s housing to prevent them from getting lost.

Install these connectors in panels, enclosures, and bulkheads to join equipment with compatible Deutsch-style DC connectors. They require a crimper (sold separately) for wire installation. Sealed with a silicone gasket and rated IP67, they block out dust, debris, and water. You can even safely submerse them for brief periods of time.

For an extra seal against dust and debris, add another gasket to the front or back of these connectors.

A locking tab keeps them securely in place when mated. Do not mate tin-plated connectors with gold-plated connectors because the contact points will corrode.

Tin-plated connectors are best for unexposed, mated connections, since they may corrode in harsh environments. Use them in applications where they won’t have to be mated and unmated multiple times. They’re more prone to noise on a signal line than gold-plated connectors, so they should be used in areas that create low noise in contacts.
