Hirschmann E-Series M12 Hardwired ConnectorsMarch 8 2022
Classified by their size M12 locking thread, these circular connectors have 4 or 5 contacts with a PG 7 or PG 9 cable entry. They are available in both male or female, straight or right-angle configurations. The PG 7 sizes accommodate 4 to 6 mm cable, while the PG 9 cable entries can fit 6 to 8 mm cable. Most of the M12 cable plugs and sockets have a zinc aluminum/nickel alloy coupling nut, while a few have a polyamide coupling nut. All of them feature a polyamide housing with copper zinc alloy contacts. The E-Series M12 connectors are all rated for 250V and 4 Amps, with a wide operating temperature range of -13 F to 194 F. They all have A-Coded inserts, featuring a single keyway. Hirschmann's M12 field wireable connectors have a dust / moisture level rating of IP 67, indicating total protection from dust and temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes when fully mated). The housings can withstand exposure to various oils and chemicals. Strain relief is typically achieved through a clamping cage. Hirschmann is one of several brands offered through the Belden name, which includes other types of connectors such as DIN 43650 solenoid valve connectors and control & supply industrial connectors, as well as Ethernet switches. |
