Xmost M12 A-coded male straight shielded cable connector provides a preassembled connection for compatible sensors, actuators and industrial automation equipment. Its single-ended molded construction combines the male connector and cable into one assembly.
The straight cable exit directs the cable along the mating axis, supporting installations with clearance behind the connection. M12 × 1.0 screw locking secures the interface to a matching A-coded female connector.
This shielded M12 sensor cable assembly is available in six contact configurations. Electrical ratings and wire sizes vary by pin count. PVC and PUR cable options are listed in 1 m and 3 m lengths.
