M series connectors Common specifications

The M series connector is a high-performance connector widely used in industrial automation, communications, transportation, medical equipment and other fields. The M Series connectors are compact, robust and reliable, adapted to a wide range of demanding environments and demanding electrical performance. The specifications of M series connectors are diverse, and according to different industry needs, there are mainly the following common specifications:
M8, M12, M16 series
M series connectors can be divided into multiple models according to different interface sizes, the most common ones are M8, M12, M16 and so on. Different models are suitable for different electrical requirements and space limitations

  • M8 connector: Suitable for low current, small sensor applications, usually rated current 3A, rated voltage 60V, commonly used in sensors, PLC control systems, etc.
  • M12 connector: M12 connector is widely used in industrial automation, sensors, robots and other fields, rated current 3A-10A, rated voltage 250V, suitable for medium current applications.
  • M16 connector: M16 connector is suitable for higher current electrical connections, commonly used in high power electrical equipment and energy industry, rated current 10A-16A, rated voltage 250V-400V.

Contact mode
There are two common contact methods for M series connectors:

  •  2-core to 24-core: Select the appropriate number of cores based on the number of devices to be connected. Typically, sensor connectors are 3 - or 4-core, while 12-core connectors may be used in complex control systems.
  • Threaded connection and quick connection: M series connectors are usually threaded (such as M12 thread) to ensure connection stability and water resistance. The quick connection design is suitable for applications that require quick installation and disassembly.

Class of protection
The protection level of M-series connectors usually ranges from IP65 to IP68, and the higher the protection level, the stronger the resistance of the connector to environmental factors such as water, dust, and chemicals.
Choosing the right M-series connector needs to be determined according to the needs of the actual application, involving a number of factors, such as the working environment, electrical performance, connection mode, protection level and contact materials. By identifying these requirements, you can more precisely select the right specifications and types to ensure the stability and reliability of your equipment.
