The M12 Panel Flange Connector serves as the enclosure faceplate interface within industrial M12 systems. It provides the M12×1.0 threaded coupling face on control cabinet exteriors, sensor housings, I/O modules, or edge gateways, while featuring rear terminations including PCB DIP pins, solder cups, Faston tabs, or pre-attached flying leads for direct circuit board connection.
When paired with standard M12 cordsets, the panel penetration maintains IP67 sealing (with optional IP68/IP69K) against dust, rain, oil mist, and pressure washing. Compliant with IEC 61076-2-101/2-104 standards, ensuring compatibility with M12 plugs from major brands including Phoenix, Turck, TE, Molex, and Balluff.
