Product Description

Our Industrial Clamp Junction Box integrated with a pre-wired M12 Connector is engineered for demanding environments where reliability is non-negotiable. This robust solution serves as a critical connection point, seamlessly merging the superior strain relief and cable protection of a clamp-style junction box with the versatility of a standardized M12 interface. It is designed to organize, protect, and distribute power and signals for a wide range of industrial equipment. The unit is pre-assembled, featuring high-quality materials that ensure exceptional resistance to water, dust, oils, and mechanical stress, making it an ideal, ready-to-deploy component for automation, sensor networks, and outdoor lighting systems. By eliminating the need for separate housing and connector assembly, it significantly reduces installation time and potential failure points.

Product Features

Integrated M12 Connector: Comes pre-equipped with a standard M12 connector (available in various codings like A-coded for sensors or B-coded for Fieldbus), providing an immediate, reliable interface.

Robust Clamp Design: The integrated stainless steel clamp provides 360-degree secure cable grip, offering exceptional strain relief and preventing cable pull-out, even in high-vibration environments.

High-Grade Enclosure Material: The junction box body is constructed from engineering plastics (e.g., PA66 or PC) that offer high impact resistance, excellent UV stability, and broad temperature tolerance.

Superior IP Rating: Achieves a high IP67 or IP68 rating, ensuring complete protection against dust ingress and the effects of temporary or prolonged immersion in water.

Efficient Sealing System: Features high-quality silicone or TPE sealing rings and a compact design that maintains a reliable seal under various environmental pressures.

Compact and Space-Saving: Designed with a low-profile form factor to fit into tight spaces within control cabinets, on machinery, or in outdoor fixtures.

Easy Installation: A user-friendly, often screw-type, opening mechanism allows for quick and tool-free access to the terminal compartment for straightforward wiring.

Product Advantages

The primary advantage of this clamp junction box with an M12 connector lies in its fusion of protection and connectivity. While standard junction boxes require separate cable gland and connector installation, our integrated solution delivers a pre-tested, failsafe unit. This directly translates to reduced total installation time and lower labor costs. The superior strain relief mechanism drastically extends the service life of connected cables by eliminating stress on the internal solder points or terminals, leading to enhanced system longevity and reduced maintenance downtime. Its high IP rating guarantees operational integrity in harsh conditions, from factory washdowns to unpredictable outdoor weather, ensuring uninterrupted data and power transmission. This product provides a future-proof foundation for scalable industrial networks, allowing for easy additions or modifications to your connected device ecosystem.

Outdoor & Industrial LED Lighting: Serving as a waterproof connection hub for LED street lights, high-bay lighting in warehouses, and architectural facade lighting.

Automation Control Systems: Forming node points in decentralized control cabinets for PLCs and drive systems.

Telecommunications and Network Infrastructure: Protecting connections for outdoor antennas, base stations, and network switches.

Renewable Energy Systems: Managing cable connections in solar panel arrays and wind turbine control systems.

Transportation and Automotive Manufacturing: Used in assembly line machinery and automated guided vehicle (AGV) charging systems.

Product FQA

Q1: What is the IP rating of this junction box, and what does it mean?
A: This clamp junction box is rated IP67/68. IP67 certifies it is dust-tight and can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. IP68 offers a higher level of protection for prolonged immersion under specified pressure and time, as per the manufacturer.

Q2: Can I specify the pin configuration and cable length of the M12 connector?
A: Yes. We offer customization for pin count (3-pin, 4-pin, 5-pin, etc.), coding (A, B, D), and cable length to meet your specific application requirements. Please contact our sales team with your specifications.

Q3: How does the clamp mechanism protect the cable?
A: The stainless steel clamp grips the cable outer jacket uniformly around its entire circumference. This distributes any pulling or twisting force along the cable, preventing it from being transferred to the delicate internal wire terminations, which is a common point of failure.

Q4: Is this product suitable for use in high-vibration environments?
A: Absolutely. The combination of the secure clamp strain relief and the vibration-resistant locking thread of the M12 connector makes it an excellent choice for applications on moving machinery, conveyor systems, and vehicles.

Q5: What are the temperature specifications for this product?
A: The standard operating temperature range is typically from -25°C to +85°C, but variants with a wider range are available. Please check the detailed datasheet for specific model information.
