M12 Y-coded male front mount socket provides a single panel interface for separate Ethernet signal and power circuits. It connects a compatible external Y-coded female hybrid cable connector to wiring inside the equipment enclosure.
Select the front fastened version when it matches the panel installation design. The unwired socket allows solder termination during assembly, while the 0.3 m pre-wired version provides leads for routing to internal signal and power connection points.
Choose the configuration by both contact count and electrical requirements. Y3 has six contacts in total and a 12 A power-contact rating. Y4 has eight contacts in total and a 6 A power-contact rating. Signal contacts are rated at 0.5 A in both versions.
Key Features
- Combined Ethernet and power interface: Routes separate signal and power circuits through one M12 panel socket.
- Y-coded male connection: Mates with a compatible female connector of the matching Y3 or Y4 arrangement.
- Y3 configuration: Four signal contacts plus two power contacts.
- Y4 configuration: Four signal contacts plus four power contacts.
- Separate current ratings: Select the correct rating for power and signal contacts.
- Shielded construction: As specified for this catalogue version.
- Solder termination: Available unwired or with 0.3 m pre-wired leads.
- Front fastened mounting: PG9 and M16 × 1.5 panel mounting options.
