As one of the standardized connection solutions in the field of industrial automation, the M12 circular connector is typically connected in two ways - welding and board. Each of these two connection modes has its own unique advantages and is suitable for different application scenarios. Let's compare their characteristics one by one:
Welding connection is the most traditional wiring method for M12 circular connectors. In this way, the cable of the connector is soldered directly to the pins or terminals, forming an integrated wiring structure.
Solid welding, high mechanical strength. The welded joint can withstand large tensile force, torque and other external forces to ensure the reliability of the connection.
Excellent electrical conductivity. Welded joints minimize contact resistance and facilitate the transmission of high current and high frequency signals.
Good sealing. Welding joint can better block dust, moisture and other external environmental factors, improve the protection level of the connection.
Easy maintenance. In case of failure, the entire prefabricated cable can be replaced directly, without the need for tedious disassembly and assembly on site.
Welded M12 connectors are mainly used in industrial equipment with high reliability requirements, such as heavy machinery and industrial robots. These devices usually work in harsh environments and have high demands on the mechanical strength and tightness of the connection, which can be well met by welding connections.
The plug-in M12 connector comes in the form of a direct insertion into a printed circuit board (PCB) without soldering or screws. The pins will be inserted directly into the holes reserved on the PCB and mechanically fixed by clasp or clasp.
Strong integration: the plug-in connection can realize the integration of connectors and circuit boards, which is conducive to the compact design of equipment.
Easy installation: No additional welding or fixing process is required, and the connector can be simply inserted into the PCB, greatly reducing the installation difficulty.
Flexible maintenance: The plug-in connector can be easily removed and replaced, which is conducive to the maintenance and upgrade of the equipment.
Plug-in M12 connectors are mainly used in industrial equipment with high integration requirements and frequent maintenance, such as industrial control cabinets and industrial PLCS. These devices have high requirements for easy installation and maintainability of connectors, and plug-in connections can meet these requirements well.
At the same time, because no additional wiring process is required, the plug-in connection is also more suitable for smaller and space-constrained industrial equipment.
The plug-in M12 connector requires special holes and through-holes on the PCB to ensure that the pins can be inserted and secured reliably. This requires that the layout and installation requirements of connectors should be considered in advance during PCB design.
In practice, engineers will choose the appropriate M12 connector wiring method according to the specific equipment characteristics and application requirements. Whether soldering or plugging, the M12 connector takes full advantage of its rugged, anti-interference technology to provide a reliable connection solution for industrial automation equipment.
