Xmost M12 C-coded male rear mount PCB connector connects an external AC power cable to the equipment’s internal circuit board. Its threaded male interface mates with a compatible C-coded female cable connector, while rear insertion contacts provide PCB dip-solder termination.
The rear fastened construction suits housings designed for a rear mount panel connector. Use the rear mount outline to check enclosure clearance and the position of the PCB relative to the panel.
Four contact arrangements include a PE contact: 2+PE, 3+PE, 4+PE and 5+PE. Choose the required arrangement and its corresponding electrical ratings, then specify shielded or unshielded construction.
Key Features
- Rear mount power connection: Rear fastened construction for compatible equipment enclosures.
- Male C-coded interface: Connects to matching M12 C-coded female power cable assemblies.
- PE contact included: Available with two to five additional contacts.
- Direct PCB termination: Straight contacts support board insertion and dip soldering.
- Shielded or unshielded versions: Select according to the equipment shielding requirements.
- Configuration-specific ratings: Current and voltage limits are listed for each contact arrangement.
