Xmost M12 female-to-female panel-mount adapter provides a shielded connection between compatible M12 male interfaces on opposite sides of an equipment panel. Its straight I-shaped construction creates a compact connection point through an enclosure wall.
The FF adapter includes an M16 × 1.5 panel mounting thread, mounting nut and sealing ring. Both mating interfaces use M12 × 1.0 screw locking.
The catalog lists A-, B-, D- and X-coded configurations. Corresponding numbered contacts are connected pin-to-pin, as shown in the wiring diagrams. Select the coding and contact arrangement to match the equipment.

Needle Arrangement (Front View)
The pin arrangement diagrams show the mating faces viewed from the front. Select the diagram corresponding to the adapter’s coding and contact count.
| Coding | Contact Count |
|---|---|
| A-coded | 3-pin |
| A-coded | 4-pin |
| D-coded | 4-pin |
| A-coded | 5-pin |
| B-coded | 5-pin |
| X-coded | 8-pin |
For the FF adapter, use the female front-view arrangement at both interfaces. Contact numbering determines the connection.
