Xmost M12 D-coded female right angle PCB socket provides an external network cable connection for PROFINET and industrial Ethernet devices. Its female interface receives a compatible 4-pin male cable connector, while bent rear contacts connect to the internal circuit board.
The front fastened socket uses M12 × 1.0 panel mounting. Its 90-degree PCB termination suits equipment where the board connection turns behind the enclosure interface, with dimensions defined by the female right angle outline.
Grounded and ungrounded versions are listed, together with shielded and unshielded options. Specify both requirements when selecting the M12 Ethernet panel socket for the complete equipment assembly.
Key Features
