What types of encodings do M12 Circular Connectors Support?

A code:

Suitable for sensors, actuators, IO-Link devices and peripherals, usually with 2-17 core connectors to choose from;

Supports 1 Gbps Ethernet connection signal transmission, and is also suitable for DC power connection.

B code:

Suitable for control systems or fieldbus Profibus and Interbus communication protocols, usually 5-core connectors;

Suitable for specific communication needs in the field of industrial automation.

C code:

Suitable for AC power connection, generally available with 3 to 6 core connectors;

In cases where sensors and actuators are required for AC power supply, they can be replaced by an S-coded connector.

D code:

Supports 100 Mbit Ethernet connection, the connector is 4-core, usually used with CAT5e cable;

Suitable for industrial Ethernet (PROFINET) that require medium speeds, rail transit CCTV control systems, servo, encoder and other occasions.

X code:

Designed for high-speed data transmission, it supports high-speed Gigabit Ethernet transmission connections up to 10 Gbps, and the connector is usually 8-core;

It is suitable for industrial communications and industrial network wiring, video surveillance and other high-speed Ethernet transmission solutions that require high-speed data transmission.

K code:

Suitable for connection applications with special needs for AC power connection, the special 5-core structure can transmit control signals, status information and power signals at the same time;

At the same time, it provides small size, large current, high voltage, IP67/IP68 high protection level connection solutions for harsh application environments of industrial automation (such as high temperature, high humidity, and strong vibration), making the connection more precise and reliable.

L code:

Suitable for power connections for industrial equipment with high power transmission, such as PROFINET system components, power supply units, etc.;

Provide small size, large current, IP67/IP68 high protection level connection solutions for rigorous application environments of industrial automation, making the connection more precise and flexible

S code:

Designed for AC power connection, the connector has good shielding performance and protection level, which can meet the high requirements for power connectors in the field of industrial automation;

It is mainly used for automatic AC power connection of electrical and electronic equipment, and can replace C-coded power components.

T code:

Designed for DC power supply connection, the connector has high reliability, IP67 and above waterproof performance and wide applicability. It is mainly used in industrial automation equipment that requires DC power supply connection and can replace A-coded power components.

Note:

There may be physical size differences between different codes, so make sure the code you choose is compatible with your existing device.

In complex projects involving the mixed use of multiple codes, it is recommended to plan ahead and fully communicate with the supplier to confirm the details.
