M12 T-coded male front mount socket provides the equipment-side connection for a compatible M12 T-coded female power cable connector. The external cable connects at the mating face, while solder or crimp termination connects the socket to the internal wiring.
Select the front fastened version when it matches the equipment panel design. Choose an unwired socket for termination during harness assembly, or select pre-wired leads in the listed lengths of 0.1 m, 0.3 m or 0.5 m.
This 4-pin M12 DC power socket is rated at 12 A and 60 V. Confirm the contact assignment, panel mounting thread and mating connector before ordering.
Key Features
- 12 A / 60 V DC power connection: Match the ratings to the equipment circuit requirements.
- 4-pin T-coded male interface: Connects to a compatible M12 T-coded female connector.
- Front fastened mounting: Select according to the panel installation drawing.
- Solder or crimp termination: Choose the version that matches the harness assembly process.
- Unwired or pre-wired: Terminate your own wires or use supplied leads.
