M12 K-coded female rear mount socket connects an external male power cable connector to the equipment’s internal wiring. Choose the rear fastened version when the panel design provides the required mounting access and space for the rear hardware.
Solder and crimp termination versions are available. The unwired option allows the socket to be terminated during harness assembly, while the 0.3 m pre-wired option provides leads for routing to an internal terminal or harness connection.
The contact choices are 2+PE, 3+PE and 4+PE. These provide two, three or four circuit contacts plus one protective earth contact. Match the complete arrangement to the equipment schematic and mating connector.
Key Features
- Rear fastened installation: For equipment panels designed around a rear mount socket.
- 16 A / 630 V ratings: For AC power circuits within the listed electrical limits.
- Female K-coded connection: Accepts a compatible M12 K-coded male connector.
- Solder or crimp options: Match the termination method to the harness production process.
- Unwired or pre-wired: Choose customer termination or supplied 0.3 m leads.
- Contact configurations with PE: Two, three or four circuit contacts plus protective earth.
- Two mounting threads: PG9 and M16 × 1.5 versions.
- Unshielded design: As listed in the catalogue.
