M12 M-coded female rear mount socket connects an external male power cable connector to the equipment’s internal AC wiring. Select the rear fastened version when the panel design provides mounting access and clearance for the rear hardware.
The unwired M12 female solder socket allows wires to be terminated during harness assembly. Pre-wired versions provide 0.1 m, 0.3 m or 0.5 m leads for routing to an internal connection point.
Choose the contact arrangement according to the equipment schematic. Each version includes protective earth, with two, three, four or five circuit contacts. Check the complete arrangement against the mating M-coded male connector before ordering.
