Belden M12 receptacle connectors

M12 receptacle connectors from Belden's Lumberg Automation range can be used to connect control units to ProfiNet/Profibus networks via bus modules as well as to transmit analog data at field level.

The receptacle connectors are available with assembled control cables or with printed contacts for PCB mounting. In the printed contact versions, the integrated shielding ensures optimum flexibility for shield continuity.

With the assembled connectors, and depending on the port assignment of the control units, a diagnostics interface can be implemented outside the switch cabinet using an ethernet connection.

This practically eliminates the disruptions resulting from repair or maintenance work. These receptacle connectors are simple to install due to standardised M12 connection and colour coded bus connections. Additional features include industrial protection class IP67, high shock and vibration resistance and a wide temperature range of -30 to 80°C.
