Xmost M12 D-coded female rear mount PCB socket connects an external male Ethernet cable connector to the circuit board inside an industrial device. Its 4-pin D-coded interface provides the cable connection, while straight rear contacts support PCB insertion and dip soldering.
Designed for rear fastened installation, this M12 panel mount Ethernet socket suits equipment housings with a defined panel-to-board position. Use the rear mount outline when checking enclosure clearance and circuit-board placement.
PG9 and M16 × 1.5 mounting threads are available. Select grounded or ungrounded construction and specify the shielding arrangement required by the complete PROFINET or industrial Ethernet assembly.
Key Features
- Rear fastened construction: For equipment enclosures designed around a rear mount panel socket.
- Female D-coded connection: Mates with compatible 4-pin M12 D-coded male cable connectors.
- Straight PCB termination: Rear insertion contacts support dip soldering to the internal board.
- PROFINET / Ethernet interface: Provides a detachable network cable connection at the housing.
- PG9 or M16 × 1.5 mounting: Two panel thread options.
- Grounding and shielding options: Specify grounded/ungrounded and shielded/unshielded construction.
