Xmost M12 S-coded male front mount socket creates a detachable AC power interface on an equipment enclosure. Its front fastened mounting arrangement secures the receptacle to the panel, while the internal termination connects to the equipment power harness.
This M12 male panel mount power connector is available with solder or crimp termination. The unwired version allows connection during equipment assembly, while pre-wired versions provide leads in several lengths to suit the internal wiring route.
Choose between two circuit contacts plus protective earth and three circuit contacts plus protective earth. The selected contact configuration must match the equipment schematic and the compatible M12 S-coded female cable connector.
Key Features
- S-coded male power interface: For mating with a compatible M12 S-coded female connector.
- Front fastened mounting: For equipment panels designed around a front mount receptacle.
- Two contact configurations: 3-pin (2+PE) and 4-pin (3+PE).
- Solder or crimp termination: Separate versions support different harness assembly processes.
- Unwired and pre-wired options: Listed lead lengths of 0.1 m, 0.3 m and 0.5 m.
- Rated 12 A / 630 V: For AC power circuits within the specified electrical limits.
- Panel thread selection: M12 × 1.0, PG9 and M16 × 1.5.
- Protective earth connection: Dedicated PE contact in both configurations.

Applications
This M12 S-coded front mount AC power connector can be considered for:
- Machine power interfaces: Connecting an external power cable to internal equipment wiring.
- Industrial control enclosures: Providing circuit contacts and PE through a panel receptacle.
- Modular equipment assemblies: Creating a detachable power connection at the housing.
- Harness production: Selecting solder or crimp termination to match the assembly process.
- Front fastened panel designs: Equipment housings designed for this mounting arrangement.
Select the contact configuration and termination method according to the equipment’s electrical and assembly requirements.
Wiring and Lead Options
[Insert the wire colour and pin assignment screenshot from page 9 here.]
| Contact Position | 3-pin (2+PE) | 4-pin (3+PE) |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Black 1 — BK1 | Black 1 — BK1 |
| Pin 2 | — | Black 2 — BK2 |
| Pin 3 | Black 3 — BK3 | Black 3 — BK3 |
| Pin 4 / PE | Yellow/green — YE/GN | Yellow/green — YE/GN |
“—” indicates an unused position. Follow the equipment schematic when assigning the circuit conductors; the yellow/green lead is the protective earth connection.
