Block signal interference from nearby devices, such as motors and transmitters, while maintaining a strong, stable connection for M12 threads. The shielding on these connectors maintains signal integrity and minimizes signal loss between equipment. The threaded housing creates a secure connection that withstands the shaking and vibrating of industrial automation.

A-coded, these connectors are often used to connect equipment to IO Link controllers and devices within Profibus, DeviceNet, and other fieldbus systems. They work with both AC and DC devices such as sensors, motors, and light curtains. Poles and keyways on their face adhere to standard coding layouts to reduce the chance you’ll mismatch connections.

Connectors with screw terminals have a screw that you tighten onto wire to connect. All meet IP ratings when either mated or capped. IP67 rated connectors are protected from dust and temporary submersion.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

Note: They may have extra holes on the face that are not used.

Quickly mate these connectors by pushing them together. They have an A-coded face and are often used with 12 mm proximity switches to send power and signal to automated systems and Profibus systems. All are rated IP69K for protection from dust and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.

Plugs and sockets mate with receptacles of the opposite gender. They do not mate with each other.

Sockets and female receptacles may have extra holes on the face that are not used.

Screw these micro M16 connectors together to securely connect equipment. They’re good for use with sensors, inspection cameras, servomotors, and actuators within industrial automation systems.

Rated IP69K, these M16 connectors protect against dust, debris, and hot, high-pressure jets of water at high volumes. Screw them together to securely connect equipment, such as sensors, inspection cameras, servomotors, and actuators within industrial automation systems.

Also known as pico connectors, these are for low-current devices such as 8 mm and smaller proximity switches and photoelectric switches.

Connectors with screw terminals hold wire by tightening a screw, so you don’t need to use soldering irons or crimpers. Connectors with a snap-on wire connection pierce the insulation to eliminate the need for wire stripping. They maintain a secure hold in high-vibration applications. Connectors with a solder wire connection prevent strands of wire from fraying while creating a secure connection.

IP65 rated connectors protect against dust and low-pressure jets of water. IP67 rated connectors protect against dust and temporary submersion. Note: Sockets and female receptacles may have extra holes on the face that are not used.

Minimize signal loss between low-current devices with M8 connections. The shielding on these connectors reduces signal interference from nearby devices, such as motors and speed controls. Also known as pico connectors, M8 connectors are often used with 8 mm and smaller proximity switches and photoelectric switches.

Connectors with screw terminals hold wire by tightening a screw, so you don’t need to use soldering irons or crimpers.

IP or NEMA rated when mated, all seal out dust. IP67 rated connectors seal out water from temporary submersion.

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.

Unlike traditional RJ45 connectors found in data centers, these connectors stand up to rugged industrial environments since they tightly thread to devices with M12 connections, sealing out contaminants and resisting shaking loose from vibration. Use them to transfer high-speed data between sensors, switches, computers, IO modules, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other equipment. They can also power devices as they send data, so you don’t need a separate power cord. But, the device must be Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible. These connectors are often used with EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and EtherCAT systems. Since they’re shielded, they block signal interference from nearby devices, maintaining their speed and data integrity. Poles and keyways on the face adhere to standard coding layouts to reduce the chance you’ll mismatch connections.

When choosing an Ethernet connector, make sure you match or exceed your network’s category industry designation. These connectors are backward compatible—for example, a Category 6 connector will work in a Category 5 network, but it’ll only run at the Category 5 speed.

A-coded and X-coded connectors send data faster than D-coded connectors, so they’re best for robotics and other systems that run multi-step programs.

Connectors with a screw-on wire connection, also known as field wireable connectors, do not require special tools like crimpers or soldering irons to attach to cables.

IP rated connectors keep out dust and can be used in wet areas when mated or capped. IP67 connectors can be submerged temporarily.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.
