Designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial automation, robotics, and outdoor LED systems, our connector ensures a secure, vibration-proof connection that withstands harsh conditions. It is an ideal solution for transmitting power, signal, and data in challenging environments, providing a robust interface for sensors, actuators, and fieldbus systems. The design prioritizes user efficiency and long-term operational integrity, making it a superior choice for modern industrial connectivity.

Product Features

Push-Pull Locking Mechanism: Enables quick and tool-free connection and disengagement with a simple push and pull action, significantly reducing installation and maintenance time.

High IP Rating Protection: Rated IP67 and IP68, ensuring complete protection against dust ingress and the effects of temporary or prolonged immersion in water.

Robust Metal or PBT Housing: Constructed from high-strength materials such as corrosion-resistant brass with nickel plating or robust PBT plastic, offering excellent durability and resistance to impact, chemicals, and UV radiation.

Vibration and Shock Resistant: The secure locking mechanism maintains a stable connection even in high-vibration environments, preventing accidental disconnections in machinery and transportation applications.

Shielded Options Available: Provides effective Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) protection for sensitive signal and data transmission, minimizing interference in electrically noisy environments.

Multiple Coding Options (A-Code, D-Code): Available in standard codings to prevent mismating and ensure correct interconnection for power, signal, Profinet, and Ethernet applications.

Product Advantages

Maximized Operational Efficiency: The push-pull design drastically reduces connection time compared to Threaded Connectors, leading to faster machine assembly, commissioning, and servicing, which minimizes downtime.

Uncompromised Reliability in Harsh Conditions: The superior sealing performance guarantees long-term functionality in the presence of moisture, oils, coolants, and extreme temperature fluctuations, ensuring system uptime in demanding settings like food and beverage processing or outdoor LED lighting.

Enhanced User Safety and Ergonomics: The simple, intuitive operation reduces user fatigue and the risk of repetitive strain injuries during frequent connection cycles. The secure lock provides tactile and audible confirmation of a proper mating.

Long-Term Cost Savings: The combination of mechanical robustness, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance extends the connector's service life, reducing replacement frequency and total cost of ownership.

Design Flexibility and Versatility: With options in various pin counts (3, 4, 5, 8), codings, and cable types, this connector series can be seamlessly integrated into a wide array of existing and new equipment designs.

Application Fields

The M12 Waterproof Locking Push-Pull Connector is versatile and critical across numerous industries:

Factory Automation & Robotics: For connecting sensors, actuators, drives, and controllers on production lines and robotic arms.

Outdoor & Industrial LED Lighting: Providing quick, waterproof connections for LED street lights, high-mast lighting, and architectural lighting systems.

Transportation and Mobile Machinery: In vehicle control systems, railway signaling, and heavy equipment where vibration resistance is paramount.

Communication and Network Systems: Used in fieldbus networks (e.g., PROFINET, EtherCAT) and industrial Ethernet applications requiring robust data transmission.

Medical and Analytical Equipment: For reliable connections in devices that require frequent sterilization or are exposed to liquids.

Renewable Energy Systems: Interconnecting control and monitoring systems in solar and wind power installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How does the push-pull locking mechanism work, and is it secure?
A: The mechanism uses a bayonet-style lock. You simply push the plug into the socket until it clicks securely into place. To disconnect, you pull back on the coupling nut. This design is specifically engineered to be highly resistant to vibration and accidental disconnection, providing a secure and reliable connection.

Q2: What is the difference between IP67 and IP68 ratings for these connectors?
A: An IP67 rating certifies that the connector is dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. An IP68 rating offers a higher level of protection, indicating it is dust-tight and can withstand continuous immersion in water under conditions specified by the manufacturer (often deeper than 1 meter for extended periods).

Q3: Are these connectors compatible with standard threaded M12 sockets?
A: Typically, no. The push-pull connector is designed to mate with its own corresponding push-pull socket. This ensures the proper function of the quick-locking mechanism. It is not mechanically compatible with standard threaded M12 sockets, which prevents mismating in complex systems.

Q4: Do you offer customized cable lengths and jacket materials?
A: Yes. As a specialized manufacturer, we provide customization options including specific cable lengths, jacket materials (such as PUR for oil resistance or PVC for flexibility), and shielding requirements to meet your application's exact needs.
