Xmost M12 A-coded female straight cable connector provides a preassembled connection to equipment with a matching A-coded male interface. Its single-ended molded construction integrates the female connector and cable into one assembly.
The straight cable exit directs the cable along the mating axis, supporting installations with clearance behind the connection. M12 × 1.0 screw locking secures the mating interface.
This unshielded M12 sensor cable assembly is available in six contact configurations. Electrical ratings and wire sizes vary by pin count. PVC and PUR cable options are listed in 1 m and 3 m lengths.
