High pin-count M12 plug connector

Phoenix Contact has expanded its M12 flush-type plug connector range with high pin-count designs for PCB mounting. The 12- and 17-pin flush-type plug connectors have a two-part structure for efficient assembly and angled solder contacts, which are suitable for both THR and wave soldering processes. Users thus have the option of M12 plug connectors with universal 4- to 17-pin angled contacts.

It is now possible to implement device designs with PCBs at a 90° angle to the front plate without any restrictions. There is also the option of a spring-loaded shield contact, which transfers the front plate potential directly to the PCB via a solder contact. The plug connectors also have the Speedcon rapid interlock system and are IP67-compliant.
