Frequently Asked Questions
What is an M12 6-pin panel feedthrough connector?
An M12 6-pin panel feedthrough connector is a bulkhead-mounted electrical connector providing mating interfaces on opposite sides of an equipment panel. It allows compatible six-contact M12 cable connectors to establish a detachable electrical connection through the enclosure.
What does A-coded mean on an M12 connector?
A-coded identifies the mechanical keying arrangement of an M12 circular connector. It is commonly used for industrial sensor, actuator and signal applications. The mating connector must also have the correct contact count, gender and electrical pin assignment.
Is this connector compatible with M12 A-coded sensor cables?
It is intended for matching M12 6-pole A-coded cable connectors. Compatibility requires verification of the mating interface, connector gender, contact arrangement, wiring and electrical requirements. Not all M12 A-coded connectors have the same number of contacts.
What is the advantage of a shielded M12 bulkhead connector?
A shielded M12 bulkhead connector can support electromagnetic shielding continuity between suitable industrial cable assemblies and equipment enclosures. Effective shielding depends on the complete installation, including cable shield termination and grounding arrangements.
Can this connector be installed in industrial control cabinets?
Yes. The panel feedthrough configuration is intended for industrial control cabinet and equipment enclosure applications when the mounting dimensions, electrical requirements and environmental conditions are suitable.
Does the connector support IP67 protection?
The reference design specifies IP65/IP67 protection under appropriate mating conditions. The final Premier Cable product must undergo applicable testing before the same protection rating can be guaranteed. Correct installation and compatible mating connectors are essential.
Can this connector be used for industrial Ethernet?
Industrial Ethernet compatibility must not be assumed from the M12 connector size or shielding alone. Network applications require appropriate coding, wiring, impedance and verified transmission performance. This six-pole A-coded product is primarily positioned for compatible industrial signal interfaces.
Is it a direct replacement for Murrelektronik 7000-46111-0000000?
The Murrelektronik model is used as a reference for engineering comparison. Direct replacement suitability requires verification of connector dimensions, pin assignments, mounting geometry, shielding, electrical ratings and environmental performance.
Can Premier Cable provide customized M12 connector solutions?
Premier Cable can review customer drawings, samples and technical specifications to evaluate customized industrial connector and cable assembly solutions. Final manufacturing feasibility and performance depend on engineering approval.
What information is required for a quotation?
