Xmost M12 S-coded female front mount socket provides a detachable AC power connection on a machine or control enclosure. It accepts a compatible M12 S-coded male cable connector, with the internal wires connected through solder or crimp termination.
Choose the front fastened version to match the panel installation drawing. Select an unwired socket for termination during harness assembly, or pre-wired leads in lengths of 0.1 m, 0.3 m or 0.5 m.
Two contact arrangements are available. 2+PE provides two circuit contacts plus protective earth, giving three contacts in total. 3+PE provides three circuit contacts plus protective earth, giving four contacts in total.
Key Features
- 12 A / 630 V AC power rating: Check the connector ratings against your equipment circuit.
- Solder or crimp termination: Match the connection method to your harness production process.
- Unwired or pre-wired leads: Terminate your own wires or select supplied leads for internal routing.
- Two configurations with PE: Choose 2+PE or 3+PE according to the required circuit conductors.
- S-coded female interface: Connects to a compatible M12 S-coded male power connector.
- Front fastened mounting: For equipment panels designed around this installation arrangement.
- PG9 or M16 × 1.5 panel threads: Select the version matching the panel opening.
- Unshielded construction: As specified for this catalogue product.
