M12 Y-coded female rear mount socket connects an external male hybrid cable connector to internal signal and power wiring. Choose the rear fastened version when the enclosure provides mounting access and clearance for the rear hardware.
Select Y3 for four signal contacts and two power contacts, or Y4 for four signal contacts and four power contacts. Y3 power contacts are rated 12 A, while Y4 power contacts are rated 6 A. Both configurations list a 0.5 A signal-contact rating.
The unwired M12 hybrid solder socket supports termination during equipment assembly. The 0.3 m pre-wired version provides leads for routing to internal connection points. Match the configuration and mounting thread to the equipment design.
Key Features
- Rear fastened installation: For housings designed around a rear mount receptacle.
- Hybrid Ethernet and power interface: Combines separate signal and power contacts in one connector.
- Female Y-coded connection: Mates with a compatible Y3 or Y4 male connector.
- Y3 option: Six total contacts, with a 12 A power-contact rating.
- Y4 option: Eight total contacts, with a 6 A power-contact rating.
- Solder wiring connection: Available unwired or with 0.3 m leads.
- Two mounting threads: PG9 and M16 × 1.5 versions.
- Unshielded construction: As listed on the specification page.
