Xmost M12 A-coded female rear mount PCB socket accepts a compatible external male cable connector and connects to the equipment’s circuit board through rear PCB contacts.
Its rear fastened construction suits enclosures designed for a rear mount socket. Use the rear mount outline drawing to check the mounting thread, available enclosure space and position of the circuit board.
Six contact counts are available with different current and voltage ratings. Select the required contact arrangement, then specify grounded or ungrounded construction and the appropriate shielding option.
Key Features
- Rear mount construction: For equipment requiring a rear fastened panel socket.
- Female A-coded connection: Mates with a compatible M12 A-coded male cable connector.
- 3–17 pin selection: Six contact counts for different circuit requirements.
- PCB dip-solder termination: Provides the internal connection to the circuit board.
- Grounded or ungrounded options: Select according to the equipment grounding design.
- Shielded or unshielded options: Specify the required shielding construction.
- M12 threaded mating: M12 × 1.0 interface for the external cable connection.
- Separate electrical ratings: Current and voltage limits are listed by contact count.
