M12 K-coded female front mount socket provides the equipment-side connection for a compatible M12 K-coded male power cable connector. It mounts to the panel, with solder or crimp termination connecting to the internal power harness.
Select the front fastened version when it matches the enclosure’s mounting design. Choose an unwired socket to terminate your own wires during assembly, or select the 0.3 m pre-wired version for routing to an internal terminal or harness connection.
Three contact arrangements are available. 4+PE means four circuit contacts plus one protective earth contact, giving five contacts in total. Select the arrangement according to the equipment schematic and mating connector.
Key Features
- 16 A / 630 V AC power connection: Match these ratings to the equipment circuit.
- K-coded female interface: Connects to a compatible M12 K-coded male connector.
- Front fastened mounting: Select according to the panel installation drawing.
- Solder or crimp termination: Choose the version that matches the harness assembly process.
- Three contact arrangements: Two, three or four circuit contacts, each with PE.
- Unwired or 0.3 m leads: Terminate your own wires or use supplied pre-wired leads.
- PG9 or M16 × 1.5 mounting: Match the mounting thread to the panel opening.
- Unshielded construction: As specified for this catalogue version.
