Xmost M12 A-coded male 90° shielded cable connector provides a preassembled connection for compatible sensors, actuators and industrial automation equipment. Its right-angle molded design directs the cable perpendicular to the mating axis, accommodating layouts where a straight cable exit is impractical.
This single-ended M12 shielded sensor cable assembly uses an A-coded male interface with M12 × 1.0 screw locking. Six contact configurations are listed, with electrical ratings and wire sizes varying by pin count.
PVC and PUR cable options are available in catalog lengths of 1 m and 3 m.
