Xmost M12 X-coded female rear mount PCB socket links an external Ethernet cable assembly to the circuit board inside industrial network equipment. Its 8-pin female interface mates with a compatible X-coded male connector, while straight insertion contacts provide the internal PCB connection.
Designed for rear fastened installation, this shielded M12 panel mount connector suits housings with a defined panel-to-board position. Use the rear mount outline when checking enclosure clearance and circuit-board placement.
The socket is available with PG9 or M16 × 1.5 mounting. Its shielded construction should be integrated with the equipment’s cable shielding and PCB design to meet the complete assembly’s network requirements.
Key Features
- Rear fastened installation: For equipment enclosures designed around a rear mount Ethernet socket.
- Female X-coded connection: Accepts matching 8-pin M12 X-coded male cable connectors.
- Shielded interface: Supports integration into the equipment’s Ethernet shielding arrangement.
- Direct PCB termination: Straight contacts support board insertion and dip soldering.
- PG9 or M16 × 1.5 mounting: Two panel thread options.
- M12 threaded mating: M12 × 1.0 interface for the external network cable.
