Xmost M12 T-shape male-to-two-female splitter provides a three-way connection for compatible industrial equipment wiring. Its MFF interface arrangement combines one male connector with two female connectors in a compact T-shaped housing.
The catalog wiring diagrams show corresponding numbered contacts connected in parallel across all three interfaces. Both female ports therefore share the circuits connected to the male port.
Each interface uses M12 × 1.0 screw locking. An integrated mounting eye provides a fixing point for securing the splitter to equipment. A- and B-coded versions are unshielded, while the D-coded version is shielded.
Key Features
- One male and two female M12 interfaces.
- Compact T-shaped three-way connector housing.
- Parallel pin-to-pin wiring as shown in the catalog diagrams.
- A-, B- and D-coded configurations.
- 3-, 4-, 5- and 8-pin options, depending on coding.
- M12 × 1.0 screw-locking connections.
- Integrated mounting eye with a Ø4.2 mm hole.
- Unshielded A-/B-coded versions and a shielded D-coded version.

Applications
Suggested applications for this M12 T-shape MFF splitter include:
- Machine wiring distribution: Connections where one interface shares corresponding circuits with two branches.
- Compatible field-device wiring: Connections using the selected coding and pin arrangement.
- Modular automation equipment: Detachable branch connections between compatible equipment sections.
- Secured cable junctions: Installations where the mounting eye can hold the splitter in position.
Use the splitter where the equipment supports the illustrated parallel wiring. Check the combined load carried by shared contacts. For communication circuits, confirm that the network permits the branch topology.
Wiring Diagram
The catalog diagrams show each numbered male contact connected to the same numbered contact at both female interfaces.
For example:
- Male Pin 1 connects to Pin 1 at both female ports.
- Male Pin 2 connects to Pin 2 at both female ports.
- The same numbered connection continues through the remaining contacts.
The two female ports share corresponding circuits; they are not independently switched channels. Use the wiring diagram matching the 3-, 4-, 5- or 8-pin splitter.
