M12 A-Coded Male Plastic PCB Connector, 3–17 Pin

Xmost M12 A-coded male plastic PCB connector provides a panel interface between an external female cable connector and the equipment’s circuit board. Its rear contacts are designed for PCB insertion and dip soldering.

The plastic panel connector is secured through a PG9 mounting opening and provides an M12 × 1.0 threaded mating connection. Select the contact count according to the circuit’s conductor requirements and the matching A-coded female cable connector.

Six configurations are available. Current and voltage ratings vary by pin count, so check the selected version’s electrical limits before ordering.

Key Features

PCB contact termination: Connects the panel interface to the circuit board through soldered PCB contacts.
Six pin-count options: Choose 3, 4, 5, 8, 12 or 17 contacts.
A-coded male interface: For compatible sensor, actuator and equipment cable connections.
Plastic construction: The catalogue lists PA66+GF for the screw/nut material.
PG9 panel mounting: Secures the connector to the equipment enclosure.
M12 threaded mating: M12 × 1.0 connection to the external cable connector.
Unshielded design: For installations that do not require connector shielding.
Separate electrical ratings: Configuration-specific data supports accurate selection.
