Often referred to as sensor connectors, M12 Circular connectors are used in sensor, industrial automation, robotics and other Input/Output applications. Their high-quality screw connection means that they offer excellent protection against vibration and ingress, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. The M12 connector is also used in almost all field bus applications.

• Machine building – CNC machines, packaging machines
• Factory Automation – Automotive production lines, conveying and sorting machines, Robotics, Food and beverage, material handling
• Commercial Vehicles – Construction vehicles, Agricultural machinery, Rubbish trucks, Military vehicles
• Industrial Automation and instrumentation

The Micro Change series of connectors are waterproof and have an IP67 ingress protection rating. This means the connectors are dustproof and are protected from powerful jets of water from all directions.

Q – Are the connectors easy to terminate?
A - Yes they are, the Micro-Change M12 connectors have screw terminals so no additional tooling is required. The connectors can be quickly connected in the field.
Q - How robust are the connectors?
A – The connectors are extremely hard wearing. They are manufactured from high-grade engineering materials, strong, and reliable.

This Brad from Molex circular connector mounts onto your cable to provide high-quality data transfer. Each of the four elements simply pushes in place easy assembly and a secure connection. As the connector has a screw terminal, it can be installed onto your cable without the need for any specialist tools. The unit has A-type coding for sensors, DC (direct current) power and 1Gbit (gigabit) Ethernet, preventing mismating and potential damage. You can terminate this connector to M12 single-ended cable assemblies to construct extension cables and jumper leads.

• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +90°C for use in harsh environments
• Straight cable entry for simple organisation of cables
• Nylon body with high tensile and compressive strength for long-lasting use

• CNC (computer numerical code) machines
• Automotive production lines
• Factory automation

The connector has an IP67 (ingress protection) rating, which means it's completely protected against dust and other small particles. It's also resistant to submersion in up to 1 metre of water for half an hour, making it safe for use in damp conditions.
