Automotive Waterproof Cable Connector IP67 IP68 2 - 17 Pin M12 Female Connector

The M12 Panel Flange Connector serves as the enclosure-faceplate interface of the industrial M12 system. It features an M12×1.0 threaded coupling face on the outside of control cabinets, sensor boxes, IO modules, or edge gateways, while the rear tail terminates as PCB DIP pins (180°/90°), solder cups, Faston tabs, or pre-wired fly leads that connect directly to internal boards or terminal strips.

When mated with a standard M12 cordset, the panel penetration maintains IP67 sealing (with optional IP68/IP69K) against dust, rain, oil mist, and hose-down conditions. Compliant with IEC 61076-2-101/2-104 standards, it interoperates with all major brand M12 plugs including Phoenix, Turck, TE, Molex, and Balluff.

• Integrated sealed board connection eliminates internal splices
• Coding system prevents field mis-mating with exclusive keyways
• Current ratings: 4A (2-5 pin), 2A (6-8 pin), 1.5A (12/17 pin)
• Multiple mounting options: front, rear, 4-hole flange, straight & 90° PCB
• Gold-plated phosphor-bronze contacts with ≤5 mΩ resistance
• Reduces BOM compared to gland + terminal block + strain relief solutions
• Field-repairable design maintains panel-mounted receptacle during board RMA

• Superior to PG gland + terminal block: Sealed, keyed interface with 50% fewer harness parts
• Outperforms RJ45/USB: Threaded lock withstands vibration, hose-down, and oil mist
• Better than DC barrel jack: Higher current rating, coded polarization, and industrial durability
• More efficient than pre-wired feed-thru: PCB version enables SMT assembly integration

• PLC/DCS/distributed I/O cabinets for sensor inputs and valve island headers
• Industrial communication: PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet
• Edge gateways & IoT boxes for outdoor cabinet faceplates
• Machine vision, robotics, and industrial camera systems
• Charging pile and BMS control boards
