M12 Connector - Waterproof IP67 Panel Mount Female Receptacle Screw Lock Industrial Circular Connector
Product Overview
The M12 Board-End Waterproof Plug is the device-side counterpart of a standard M12 field cable plug, designed for mounting on control cabinets, sensor boxes, PLC modules, or edge gateways. This panel-mount receptacle provides a sealed, keyed, vibration-proof panel penetration for industrial applications.
Following IEC 61076-2-101/2-104 dimensional standards, it intermates with major brand M12 cordsets and serves as the default connector for distributed I/O, industrial cameras, and charging-pile control boards.
Key Benefits
- Single sealed board landing point eliminates internal splices
- Coding prevents field mis-mating with exclusive keyways
- Current ratings: 4A (2-5 pin), 2A (6-8 pin), 1.5A (12-17 pin)
- Flexible mounting options: front/rear panel, straight/90° PCB
- Gold-plated phosphor-bronze contacts with ≤5 mΩ resistance
- Reduces BOM complexity compared to gland + terminal block solutions
- Repairable design - board can be replaced without cutting external harness
