Xmost M12 B-coded male front mount PCB connector provides an external fieldbus connection for PROFIBUS communication modules and industrial automation equipment. Its 5-pin male interface mates with a compatible M12 B-coded female cable connector, while rear insertion contacts connect directly to the internal PCB through dip soldering.
This front fastened panel connector integrates the cable interface into the equipment enclosure. Three panel mounting thread options accommodate different housing designs, while the M12 × 1.0 mating thread secures the external cable connection.
Grounded and ungrounded versions are available, together with shielded or unshielded construction. Specify both options to match the equipment’s grounding and fieldbus shielding requirements.
Key Features
- 5-pin B-coded PROFIBUS interface: Connects to compatible M12 B-coded female fieldbus cable assemblies.
