Xmost M12 T-shape 5-port splitter provides multiple M12 connection points in one molded housing. Its interface arrangement comprises one male connector, one female connector at the opposite end and four female branch connectors along the housing.
The catalog wiring diagrams show corresponding numbered contacts connected in parallel between the male interface and all five female ports. The splitter therefore distributes the same connected circuits across the ports.
This M12 distribution adapter is available in A-, B- and D-coded configurations. A- and B-coded versions are unshielded, while the D-coded version is shielded. Two mounting eyes provide fixing points for securing the housing to equipment.
Key Features
- One male and five female M12 interfaces.
- Four female branch ports plus one female end port.
- Parallel pin-to-pin connections as shown in the catalog diagrams.
- A-, B- and D-coded options.
- 3-, 4-, 5- and 8-pin configurations, depending on coding.
- M12 × 1.0 screw-locking interfaces.
- Two integrated mounting eyes for securing the housing.
- 25.4 mm branch-port spacing shown in the dimension drawing.

Applications
Suggested applications for this M12 multiport splitter include:
- Machine wiring distribution: Multiple connection points for circuits designed to share corresponding contacts.
- Compatible field-device connections: Branch wiring using the selected coding and pin arrangement.
- Modular automation equipment: Detachable connections between compatible equipment sections.
- Equipment-mounted cable junctions: Installations requiring several M12 ports in a secured housing.
Use the splitter only 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 illustrated branch topology.
Wiring Diagram
The catalog diagrams show each numbered male contact connected to the same numbered contact at all five female ports.
For example, Male Pin 1 connects to Female Pin 1 at each port, and Male Pin 2 connects to Female Pin 2 at each port. This arrangement continues through the remaining contacts of the selected version.
The female ports share corresponding circuits; they are not independently switched channels. Use the wiring diagram matching the 3-, 4-, 5- or 8-pin splitter.
