Xmost M12 S-coded male rear mount socket provides an external threaded power interface with wire connections inside the equipment enclosure. Its rear fastened construction suits panels designed to accommodate rear mounting hardware and internal harness access.
This M12 S-coded panel mount connector offers solder and crimp termination versions. Choose an unwired socket for termination during assembly or a pre-wired version with a lead length matched to the internal connection point.
Both available contact configurations include protective earth. Select 2+PE or 3+PE according to the number of required circuit conductors, and confirm compatibility with the external S-coded female cable connector.
Key Features
- Rear fastened construction: For housings designed around a rear mount power receptacle.
- Male S-coded interface: Connects to a compatible M12 S-coded female connector.
- 2+PE or 3+PE options: Two contact configurations with protective earth.
- Two termination methods: Solder and crimp versions for different wiring processes.
- Pre-wired lead selection: Listed lengths of 0.1 m, 0.3 m and 0.5 m.
- AC power ratings: Rated current of 12 A and rated voltage of 630 V.
- Multiple panel threads: M12 × 1.0, PG9 and M16 × 1.5.
- Unshielded design: As specified for this catalogue product.

Applications
This M12 S-coded rear mount power socket can be considered for:
- AC-powered equipment housings: Connecting an external supply cable to the internal harness.
- Control enclosures with rear mounting access: Accommodating the fastening hardware and wire connections behind the panel.
- Pre-wired machine assemblies: Routing socket leads to an internal terminal or harness connection.
- Modular power interfaces: Providing a detachable cable connection at the equipment housing.
- Circuits requiring PE: Selecting two or three circuit contacts plus protective earth.
Check the electrical requirements, mounting access and available wiring space before selecting the version.
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 |
The 2+PE version uses circuit positions 1 and 3. Connect the numbered black conductors according to the equipment schematic and use the yellow/green lead for PE.
