Five Reasons to Choose the Rugged Tablet with M12 Connector

Ensure Stronger Security and Stability in Harsh Environments

M12 connector, also known as Lands interface, is a small circular standard connector. Its shell is 12mm in diameter and is made of metal. This connector has the characteristics of compact structure, durability and strong anti-interference ability, which is suitable for the most applications of rugged tablets requiring stable data transmission and high performance in harsh environments. The characteristics of M12 connector will be introduced in detail below, and why the rugged tablet with M12 connector is recommended.

Unmatched Durability

M12 connector is made of metal material, which has high strength, wear resistance and can withstand great mechanical stress and impact. Under normal circumstances, its mechanical life can reach hundreds to thousands times of plugging and unplugging. The conductive parts of plugs and sockets are usually made of high-quality copper alloy, which have good conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring the stability of data transmission and the long-term reliability of the connector.

Strong Protective Performance

The insulating part of M12 connector is usually made of high-performance insulating material, such as high-temperature resistant and flame-retardant special engineering plastics. It can effectively prevent the connector from being damaged by high temperature and flame. What’s more, the M12 connector is generally certified by IP67 rating, which guarantees that the dust and water be blocked from invading its contact parts, so as to avoid accidents such as electrical short circuit and leakage that threaten the safety of operators. Therefore, the rugged tablet can still maintain normal operation in humid, dusty or high temperature environment, and continuously and stably transmit data through the connectors.

Seamless Connection

The structure adopted by M12 connector makes it only be inserted in a specific direction, thus avoiding the possibility of wrong insertion. This design not only improves the safety of operation, but also can practically avoid the plug from falling off under vibration or impact, and ensure the normal work of rugged tablet.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

M12 connector is connected by threaded structure, which is convenient and quick to install and disassemble without special training in advance. In addition, when the connector breaks down or needs to be replaced, the technicians can find the problem more easily and handle it. To some extent, it reduces the downtime of device and improves the production efficiency.

In short, rugged tablet with M12 connector can meet the needs of stable processing of large amount of data and real-time communication in various harsh working environments, and ensure long-term use. Suitable for various industrial application scenarios, including mining, fleet management and forklift. 3Rtablet now has two 7-inch tablets supporting M12 interface: VT-7A and VT-7AL. If you want to solve all kinds of problems that will occur when using an ordinary tablet to work in harsh environment, you may wish to try a rugged tablet with M12 connector. 3Rtablet will customize the best solution according to your specific requirements.
