Foremost introduces latest Binder M12 circular connectors

Foremost Electronics, the Essex based specialist distributor of electromechanical components, has announced the availability two new M12 connectors from Binder, a leader in industrial circular connectors for factory sensor and actuator applications.

The new panel mounted Series 763 male M12 connector is an A-coded square flange male connector and is uniquely positionable and lockable which makes the installation of cables a simple and flexible operation.

The series 763 male M12 connector consists of separate housing and contact carrier allowing the flange housing to be mounted first and the carrier can then be subsequently installed even from various angles, a common occurrence during installation.

Available with four, five or eight gold plated contacts, the new series 763 M12 panel mount connector is rated up to 250V and 4A and protects to IP68 when mated ensuring fast and easy termination. The male square flange panel-mount M12 connector is positionable and lockable for easy installation and handles AWG24/7 wires.

Designed in accordance with IEC 61076-2-109, the M12/RJ45 combination is good for high data speeds – four paired up to 10Gbit/s – which is sufficient for most control applications.

Also available is a shieldable series 825 M12 X-coded female cable connector featuring IDT connection and a 5.5–9mm cable outlet.

The new series 825 M12 connectors are rated up to 0.5A at 50VAC/60VDC and protects to IP67 when mated. The RJ45 adaptor gives protection to IP20.
