Xmost M12 C-coded female front mount PCB socket provides a detachable AC power connection between an external male cable connector and the equipment’s internal circuit board. Straight rear contacts support PCB insertion and dip soldering, combining a panel-mounted power interface with board termination.
The front fastened construction is available with PG9 or M16 × 1.5 panel mounting threads. Its female C-coded interface accepts a matching M12 C-coded male power connector.
Four contact arrangements include a protective earth contact. Select the required number of contacts and its corresponding current and voltage ratings, then choose shielded or unshielded construction to match the equipment design.
Key Features
- Female C-coded power interface: Mates with a compatible M12 C-coded male AC power cable connector.
- Four configurations with PE: Choose 2+PE, 3+PE, 4+PE or 5+PE.
- Front fastened panel mounting: Integrates the power socket into the equipment enclosure.
- PCB dip-solder termination: Straight rear contacts connect directly to the circuit board.
- Two mounting thread options: PG9 or M16 × 1.5.
- Optional shielding: Shielded and unshielded versions available.
