Xmost M12 B-coded female rear mount PCB socket connects an external PROFIBUS cable assembly to the circuit board inside an industrial device. The female B-coded interface mates with a compatible male connector, while straight rear contacts provide PCB dip-solder termination.
This rear fastened panel connector suits enclosures designed around a rear mount installation. Its outline differs from the front mount version, so the rear mount drawing should be used when positioning the panel opening and circuit board.
Grounded and ungrounded constructions are available, together with shielded or unshielded options. These choices allow the M12 PROFIBUS panel socket to be specified for the equipment’s grounding and shielding arrangement.
Key Features
- Rear fastened installation: For equipment housings designed for a rear mount M12 socket.
- B-coded female interface: Accepts matching 5-pin M12 B-coded male fieldbus connectors.
- PCB insertion contacts: Supports direct board termination through dip soldering.
- PG9 or M16 × 1.5 mounting: Two panel thread options for different enclosure designs.
- Grounding and shielding options: Specify grounded/ungrounded construction and shielded/unshielded execution.
- 4 A / 60 V ratings: Listed electrical limits for this 5-pin PCB connector.
