M12 Cables & Types of Connectors
NEW M12, M8 & M5 INSTRUMENTATION CABLES ARE DESIGNED TO EVOLVE WITH ADVANCEMENTS IN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
As industrial automation continues to advance more and more equipment will require components such as sensors, actuators, frequency converters, motor operated switches and more. M12 instrumentation cables from Mueller Electric will fill all the connection needs.
Mueller’s M12, M8 and M5 cables offer 3, 4, 5, 8 and 12 position male and female assemblies in straight and right-angle molding types for a wide range of factory-automation connection requirements and are versatile and easy to install.
M12 Instrumentation cable assemblies from Mueller Electric are available in PVC, PUR and TPE insulations and can serve A-coding, B-coding, D-coding and X-coding applications from stock. A wide range of sizes are available from 3 feet to 65 feet, giving you the flexibility to obtain the right custom cable assembly perfect for your instrumentation applications.
TYPES OF CONNECTORS
Circular M12 and 1/2"-20 cordsets and receptacles are available in a variety of pin configurations and wire color codes.
MICRO-DC / M12 -- A-Coding
The Micro-DC (MDC) series, perhaps known better as micro-changes or M12, is one of the most widely used industrial quick disconnects by the industrial market. These connectors can be used in both AC or DC applications. Uses of M12s in industrial automation are limitless, but are commonly used in factory automation for sensors, actuators, motors, switches, safety light curtains and mats, and interlock switches.
EURO-AC -- B-Coding
The EURO AC (MEC) series has a reversed single keyway which is known as B-code. This allows 2 unique M12 connectors to be mounted on the same panel without fear of incorrectly coupling connectors to equipment with varying voltage and amperages.
MICRO-AC -- C Coding
The MICRO-AC (MAC) series uses a ½”-20 mating thread and has a first make last break extended ground pin. The use of a double keyway (C-code) prevents it from accidentally plugging into one of the other similarly-sized connectors.
ETHERNET -- D-Coding
M12 Ethernet series (MDE45) utilizes 4 wire (D-code) connectors with 2 pair Cat 5e cables or M12 8 wire (A-code) connectors with 4 pair Cat 5e cable. The MDE45 is specifically used in industrial Ethernet applications and has real cable using twisted pairs of wires inside. D-code is for 100-Mbit Ethernet.
ETHERNET -- X-Coding
X-coded instrumentation cables are becoming more popular as they are used in Ethernet 10-Gbit environment. The X-coded type connection is becoming more and more popular for high-speed industrial Ethernet and will eventually replace the A- and D-coded parts for Ethernet applications.
