Power also for miniaturized interfaces – M12x1 L-coding
...30% less installation space requirement compared to a 7/8″ overmoulded connector
CONEC has expanded its portfolio of M12 connectors to include L-coded variants, thus offering a compact, high-performance solution for automation devices. In addition to signals and data,more and more power has to be transmitted. Miniaturization in automation means that field devices and controllers are becoming ever smaller.
The overmoulded M12 L-coded connectors require 30% less installation space compared to a 7/8″ connector. Due to the high current carrying capacity of 16 A with a strand cross-section of 2.5 mm², they are also able to ensure the power supply of devices via a miniaturised interface.
This is essential because the electrical drive technology devices are also becoming more and more compact. Thus, signals, data and power can now be transmitted continuously using the M12x1 connector system.
The new M12x1 L coding is standardized according to IEC 61076-2-111.
