Xmost M12 C-coded male front mount PCB connector provides a detachable AC power interface between an external female cable connector and the equipment’s internal circuit board. Straight rear contacts support PCB insertion and dip soldering, integrating the panel connection into the board assembly.
This front fastened M12 power connector is available in four contact arrangements, from 2+PE to 5+PE. Each arrangement includes a protective earth contact, while current and voltage ratings vary by contact count.
Shielded and unshielded constructions accommodate different equipment requirements. Select the C-coded panel mount connector by contact arrangement, electrical rating, shielding and mounting thread.
Key Features
- C-coded AC power interface: Male connection for a compatible M12 C-coded female power cable connector.
- Four contact arrangements: 2+PE, 3+PE, 4+PE or 5+PE.
- Front fastened mounting: Combines an enclosure-mounted power interface with internal PCB termination.
- PCB dip-solder contacts: Straight insertion contacts connect directly to the circuit board.
- Shielding options: Available in shielded and unshielded constructions.
- Ratings by configuration: Separate current and voltage values support accurate selection.
