M12 M-coded female front mount socket provides the equipment-side connection for a compatible M12 M-coded male power cable connector. It mounts to the panel, with solder terminals or pre-wired leads connecting to the internal power harness.
Select the front fastened version when it matches the enclosure’s mounting design. The unwired socket allows termination during equipment assembly, while pre-wired versions provide 0.1 m, 0.3 m or 0.5 m leads for routing to an internal terminal or harness connection.
Four contact configurations are available. 4+PE means four circuit contacts plus one protective earth contact, giving five contacts in total. Select the complete contact arrangement according to the equipment schematic and mating connector.
Key Features
- 8 A / 630 V AC power connection: Match these ratings to the equipment circuit.
- M-coded female interface: Connects to a compatible M12 M-coded male connector.
- Front fastened mounting: Select according to the panel installation drawing.
- Solder termination: Supports internal wire connection during assembly.
- Four configurations with PE: Two to five circuit contacts plus protective earth.
- Unwired or pre-wired: Choose customer termination or supplied leads.
- Three listed lead lengths: 0.1 m, 0.3 m and 0.5 m.
- PG9 or M16 × 1.5 mounting: Match the mounting thread to the panel opening.
