Xmost M12 K-coded male rear mount socket provides a detachable power interface on an equipment housing. Its rear fastened construction positions the wiring connection inside the enclosure and the male mating interface outside the panel.
Available with solder or crimp contacts, this M12 K-coded panel mount connector supports different internal harness assembly methods. Unwired versions allow customer termination, while the listed 0.3 m pre-wired versions provide leads for connection to the equipment circuit.
Key Features
- Rear fastened mounting: For housings designed to accept a rear mount power socket.
- K-coded male connection: Mates with a compatible M12 K-coded female connector.
- Two termination methods: Solder and crimp versions available.
- Three contact arrangements: 2+PE, 3+PE and 4+PE.
- Rated 16 A / 630 V: For circuits within the listed electrical ratings.
- Lead options: Unwired or supplied with 0.3 m pre-wired leads.
- Multiple panel threads: M12 × 1.0, PG9 and M16 × 1.5.
- Unshielded design: Matches the construction listed on the specification page.
