Sensor Signal Converter Cords
Send data between sensors and receivers that have different signal types. These cords change the output signal from PNP to NPN. They connect your sensor to equipment with an M12 connection. Since they’re A coded, these cords work with most AC and DC systems. They’re also used to connect sensors to IO Link controllers and within fieldbus systems, such as Profibus and DeviceNet.
These cords were designed with tough industrial applications in mind. Insulated with polyurethane, they bend easily without cracking, and they won’t break down from oil or coolants. They’re IP rated to block out water if briefly submerged or sprayed during high-pressure washdowns. With a 90° elbow socket, these cords sit flush against equipment, so they fit behind machinery and in other tight spaces. The socket has internal threads that keep it from shaking loose due to vibration.
To determine the signal output of your sensor, use a tester (not included).
