Xmost M12 B-coded female straight cable connector provides a shielded fieldbus connection for compatible PROFIBUS equipment. Its single-ended molded construction integrates the 5-pin female connector and cable into a preassembled 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 interface to a matching B-coded male connector.
This M12 PROFIBUS cable assembly has catalog-listed electrical ratings of 4 A and 60 V, with a wire size of 0.34 mm² / AWG22. PVC and PUR cable options are listed in 1 m, 3 m and 5 m lengths.
