Most manufacturers make female headers of the 5-hole type for the convenience of mold opening. Only the number of lead wires is different.

The above two diagrams show the pin arrangement of two M8 codes, A code 3,4 way, and B code pin diameter is 1mm, A code 6 way is 0.7mm, and A code 8 way is 0.6mm.

MIL-DTL-26482 connector, also known as the MIL-C-26482 connector. It boasts a wide array of pin configurations and can withstand high current loads. The series features heavy-duty connectors with solder contacts and bayonet or “quick-disconnect” coupling.

The diagram above shows the pinout of the A-code 5-way type, from 2-way to 5-way, and they are compatible in size. That is, if there is a 2-pin male header, it can be inserted into any of the female headers of that type.

As you can see above, the 101 detailed specification specifies five coding methods for M12 circular connectors. A, C code has a variety of types. The higher the number of pins, the smaller the rated voltage and rated current, according to its characteristics, can be suitable for different applications.

In addition to the M12 circular connector, there is a standard M8 connector with a thread specification of M8X1. This connector is different from M12 in many specifications. There are only two codes. Among them, the A code of 3,4 way two specifications are most common.

The D-code specification specifies that a data rate of 100MHz can be achieved, so this coding method was also used for Fieldbus in the early days.

A code 5-way type using the pin thickness of 1mm, rated current 4A. 2,3,4 way pin distance to ensure the rated voltage to 250V, 5-way pin due to the 5th pin is located in the middle resulting in pin distance shortened, electrical insulation distance reduced, so the rated voltage of 60V. If you use the 5-way pin structure, please note that the use of occasions does not exceed 60V.

The above diagram is the dimensional drawing of the A-code 5-way type. This coding method is the most commonly used one; basically, most proximity switches are used this way. Only some 3-pin or 4-pin ones are in which individual pins are not in use.

HR connectors are a lower-cost version, yet still provide a high "Value Add" while preserving the superior characteristics of the HR connectors. Cable clamps are crimped using a special crimping tool, and the shells have a rubber boot which provides a flexible design that helps to prevent cable twisting.

Renhotec provides a diverse range of durable industrial plugs, sockets, and related products designed to meet IEC 60309-1 standards for reliable connections in industrial and factory applications. Industrial plugs and sockets have 3 Pin, 4 Pin and 5 Pin.

For example, IEC61076-2-109 Connectors for electronic equipment – Product requirements – Part 2-109: Circular connectors – Detail specification for connectors with M 12 x 1 screw-locking, for data transmission frequencies up to 500 MHz, is the detailed specification for M12 x 1 screw-locking connector for data transmission frequencies of 500 MHz.

Are lightweight triplestart ratchet coupling type connectors designed for avionics, aerospace, Harsh Environment Connectors, security, motorsport and heavy duty applications.

Most of the sensors use a connector type that is round. The more common is the M connectors. Here M12 and M8 refer to the combined connection threads with specifications of M12X1 and M8X1.

The IEC does not specify which connector is used on what occasion but only specifies the form factor of each connector, pin distribution, mechanical and electrical characteristics, etc. Following the characteristics of each connector, the manufacturers have slowly formed some rules of the agreement.

Because the M8 pin pitch is too small, it can not be used in high voltage applications. Only suitable for 50V AC or 60V DC or less.

Heavy Duty Connectors (HDC) are robust industrial connectors for power, data, and signals in harsh environments. They offer reliability with aluminum or thermoplastic covers and IP65 to IP69k protection ratings, handling currents from 10A to 80A and up to 216 contacts.

These connectors are Harsh Environment Connectors Standard which covers heavy-duty circular electrical connectors with soldered or crimped contacts.

Examples are the M12 connector A code for direct current transmission, the standard 24VDC and sensor signal interface, and the B code for DC signals. C code for AC power, standard 24V/110V/230V AC, mostly used in the US D code is mostly used for Profinet, Ethernet, CC-Link IE, and other Ethernet communications. x code for Gigebit Ethernet, etc.

Our high-quality machine lighting is designed especially for industrial use for general mechanical engineering. The multi-segment IO-Link signal lighting can be flexibly adjusted with segment and level mode to nearly all possible requirements and can be used for demanding tasks in many industries.

As you can see from the red circle shown in the figure, there is a small gap between the 1,2 pins of the female head. The corresponding position of the male head is a bump, designed to prevent misplacement and ensure that only the same code and the same number of plugs can be inserted correctly.

M12 P-code pin diameter 1mm, rated voltage 60V, rated current 4A. P-code and A-code 5-way have the same size but are not inter-inserted due to the different anti-mis-insertion mechanisms, ensuring reliability.

M12 connectors are a class of circular connectors. The advantage of proximity switches with connectors is that they are easy to install and replace. For example, if a sensor is broken at the equipment site, if it is directly out of the line, then the maintenance personnel need to remove the sensor when replacing it and then follow the line to remove the ties that tie up the wires, take off the wire channel cover, and sometimes even remove certain parts of the equipment.

The M12 A-code 12-way and 17-way types are also compatible, using a pin diameter of 0.6mm, a rated voltage of 30V, and a rated current of 1.5A.

A circular cable assembly consists of a section of cable material with a circular connector at one or more endpoints. Renhotec offers a wide range of circular connector cable assemblies, especially M8, M12, and M16 cable assembly.

D38999s are popular and widely used subminiature circular connectors for Harsh Environment Connectors and aerospace applications. With three coupling methods, nine shell sizes, and a wide variety of contact arrangements, our MIL-DTL-38999 connectors help give you the range of choices you need.

This series of connectors is an alternative solution to Lemo connector which are used in medical, industrial, audio/visual, telecommunications, Harsh Environment Connectors, scientific research and measurement applications.

Then we choose this connector sensor. It would help if you considered the choice of matching cable. I do not know if you have been a variety of M connectors dizzy, rectangular, round, M8, M12, A code, B code, or D code. Many styles and complex.

Several M12 A-code 8-way type pin types are also compatible, with a pin diameter of 0.8mm, a rated voltage of 30V, and a rated current of 2A.

M12 D-code pin diameter 1mm, rated voltage 250V, rated current 4A. It is worth mentioning here that D-code and A-code 4-way have the same size but do not interpolate due to the different anti-error insertion mechanisms, ensuring reliability. Care needs to be taken when selecting the type.

M12 C code several sizes are incompatible, 3,4-way pin diameter 1mm, rated voltage 250V, rated current 4A. 5-way pin diameter 0.76mm, rated voltage 60V, rated current 2A. 6-way pin diameter 0.76mm, rated voltage 30V, rated current 2A.

There is a reason for this, IEC has a series of specifications specifically defined circular connectors. This is IEC61076. IEC61076 defines a variety of connectors, the second part of which is the definition of circular connectors, and then subdivided into more than a dozen specifications specify a variety of specifications of circular connectors, such as M5, M8, M12, and M12 for high-speed data transmission, and so on.

There are also X-coded M12 circular connectors today, mainly for high-speed Ethernet transmission. One hundred nine specifications use type X and type H, type X, and H no longer use X coding and H coding, but most manufacturers still use X coding and X coding to describe to unify.

M12 B code pin size 1mm, rated voltage 60V, rated current 4A. The pin distribution is no different from the A code, but their anti-mistake (anti-dull) structure is different and can not be inserted incorrectly.
