Xmost M12 C-coded male front mount socket connects external cables to internal equipment wiring through a front fastened panel interface. Its solder termination allows wires to be connected during assembly, while pre-wired versions provide leads for connection to the internal harness.
This M12 male power socket is available in 2+PE, 3+PE, 4+PE and 5+PE configurations. Select the contact arrangement according to the required circuit count, current and voltage. The available panel mounting threads accommodate different equipment mounting designs.
Key Features
- C-coded male interface: For connection to a compatible M12 C-coded female connector.
- Front fastened mounting: For equipment panels designed around a front mount receptacle.
- Four contact configurations: 2+PE, 3+PE, 4+PE and 5+PE.
- Solder termination: Available without wires for customer assembly.
- Pre-wired options: Listed lead lengths of 0.1 m, 0.3 m and 0.5 m.
- Panel thread selection: M12 × 1.0, PG9 and M16 × 1.5.
- Unshielded construction: As specified for this catalogue version.
