Xmost M12 I-shape male-to-female connector adapter provides a compact inline connection for compatible industrial equipment wiring. One male interface and one female interface are arranged along the same axis, with M12 × 1.0 screw locking at both ends.
The molded housing includes a mounting eye for securing the adapter. The catalog wiring diagrams show corresponding numbered contacts connected pin-to-pin between the male and female interfaces.
This M12 inline adapter is available in A-, B- and D-coded configurations. A- and B-coded versions are unshielded, while the D-coded version is shielded. Select the coding, pin count and electrical ratings to match the connected equipment.
