The M Series Circular connector is an electrical connector designed for industrial automation, communications, medical devices, and other areas that require robust, reliable connections. Known for their screw-lock design, these connectors ensure a stable connection even in vibration or harsh environments. The M Series circular connector family includes a variety of specifications, such as the M8, M12, M16 and M23, each optimized for a specific application scenario and suitable for a variety of needs, from sensor connections to high-power devices.
M8 connector: With a diameter of 8 mm, it is commonly used in applications where space is limited, such as the connection of small sensors. It provides basic power and signal transmission functions.
M12 connector: With a diameter of 12 mm, M12 connector is one of the most commonly used models in industrial automation, supporting high-speed data transmission as well as applications requiring high reliability, such as support for industrial Ethernet protocols such as EtherCAT.
M16 connector: With a diameter of 16 mm, it is suitable for medium power applications and can carry higher currents or voltages.
M23 Connector: With a diameter of 23 mm, it is mainly used in situations where higher mechanical strength and greater power transmission capability are required, such as robotics or welding applications.
These connectors are not limited to simple power or signal transmission, but also support complex data communication protocols to meet the needs of modern industry for efficient and stable networks. In addition, M-series circular connectors usually have a high level of protection (such as IP67 or IP68), which means that they can effectively prevent the intrusion of dust, moisture and other pollutants, thus ensuring long-term stable operation.
The M-series circular connectors play a vital role in many industries with their compact design, superior environmental adaptability and wide applicability. Whether building complex industrial control systems or developing advanced medical diagnostic equipment, choosing the right M-Series connector can greatly improve the overall performance and reliability of your system.
Note:
When selecting a specific model, factors such as size limitations, current/voltage requirements, and the required data transfer rate should be considered based on the actual application scenario.
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer during installation to ensure proper installation to avoid potential problems.
