Xmost M12 M-coded male rear mount socket provides an external threaded power connection with wire termination inside the equipment enclosure. Its rear fastened construction suits panels designed to accommodate the rear mounting hardware and internal harness access.
This M12 male power socket is available in four configurations, providing two to five circuit contacts plus PE. The contact positions vary between configurations, so selection should follow the required circuit arrangement and matching cable interface.
Choose an unwired M12 solder socket for termination during assembly or a pre-wired version for routing to an internal connection point. Listed lead lengths of 0.1 m, 0.3 m and 0.5 m support different enclosure layouts.
Key Features
- Rear fastened panel mounting: For housings designed around a rear mount power receptacle.
- Male M-coded interface: Connects to a compatible M12 M-coded female cable connector.
- Protective earth configurations: 2+PE, 3+PE, 4+PE and 5+PE options.
- Solder wiring connection: For termination to the internal equipment harness.
- Pre-wired lead choices: 0.1 m, 0.3 m and 0.5 m versions listed.
- AC power ratings: Rated current of 8 A and rated voltage of 630 V.
- Mounting thread selection: M12 × 1.0, PG9 and M16 × 1.5.
- Unshielded design: Matches the specification for this product version.
