FAQ

What is the A-coding on an M12 connector used for?

A-coding is the most common M12 coding standard and is typically used for sensors, actuators, DC power, and 1 Gbit Ethernet. This connector is ideal for such sensor/actuator applications.

What does the IP67 rating mean for this cable socket?

An IP67 rating means the connector is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes, once it is properly connected and tightened.

Can this connector be used for Profinet or industrial Ethernet applications?

No, this 4-pole A-coded connector is not suitable for Profinet or most industrial Ethernet protocols. Those typically require 4-pole D-coded (for 100 Mbit) or 8-pole X-coded (for 10 Gbit) connectors.
