Termination: PCB Solder
Application: GigE Cameras and Industrial Gateways
The right-angle PCB configuration supports compact industrial equipment layouts where the PCB position requires a 90-degree terminal arrangement.
M12 X-Coded Female Solder-Wire Panel Connector
The M12 X-coded female solder-wire panel connector provides a panel-mounted eight-contact female Ethernet interface with internal solder-wire termination for industrial communication equipment.
Connector 1: M12 X-Coded 8-Pin Female
Connector 2: Internal Solder-Wire Contacts
Orientation: Straight Interface
Mounting: Front Panel Mount
Termination: Solder Wire
Application: Control Cabinets and Custom Communication Enclosures
The solder-wire configuration is suitable for equipment requiring internal wiring between the external M12 Ethernet interface and the electronic system.
Mounting and Termination Options
The M12 X-coded 8-pin female panel mount connector series provides three termination options for equipment manufacturers requiring an external industrial Ethernet interface. The correct configuration depends on PCB position, panel construction, wiring method and mating connector requirements.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Front Panel Mounting | Provides an externally accessible female M12 Ethernet interface secured to an equipment panel using the specified mounting hardware. |
| Straight PCB Termination | Uses straight solder terminals for direct connection to a compatible printed circuit board. |
| Right Angle PCB Termination | Uses angled solder terminals for equipment layouts requiring an alternative PCB orientation. |
| Solder-Wire Termination | Provides internal solder contacts for connecting prepared conductors without direct PCB mounting. |
| M12 X-Coded Interface | Uses an eight-contact female mating interface for compatible four-pair industrial Ethernet connections. |
| Threaded Coupling | Provides a mechanically secured connection to a compatible M12 X-coded male mating connector. |
| Shielding and Grounding | Shield continuity and equipment grounding depend on the selected connector structure and approved installation design. |
| Ethernet Transmission | Transmission performance depends on connector construction, PCB layout, cable quality, termination and the complete Ethernet channel. |
Engineering Note: Straight PCB, right-angle PCB and solder-wire versions are different termination structures. PCB footprints, panel cutouts, contact numbering and shielding connections must follow the approved technical drawing for the selected connector.

Product FAQ
Q1: What is an M12 X-coded female panel mount connector?
An M12 X-coded female panel mount connector is an equipment-side circular connector with an eight-contact X-coded mating interface. It is used in compatible four-pair industrial Ethernet communication systems.
Q2: What connector configurations are available?
The Premier Cable series includes straight female PCB, right-angle female PCB and female solder-wire panel mount configurations.
Q3: What is the difference between straight and right-angle PCB connectors?
Straight PCB connectors use straight solder terminals, while right-angle PCB connectors use angled terminals. The appropriate configuration depends on the circuit board position, enclosure design and installation clearance.
Q4: Can these connectors be used for Gigabit Ethernet?
M12 X-coded eight-contact connectors are commonly used in industrial Gigabit Ethernet applications. The selected connector, PCB layout and complete Ethernet channel must be verified for the required transmission performance.
Q5: Are these connectors suitable for industrial cameras?
Yes. They can be used in machine vision cameras and industrial imaging equipment designed with compatible M12 X-coded Ethernet interfaces. Connector orientation and PCB compatibility should be confirmed.
Q6: Are the M12 X-coded panel connectors waterproof?
The supplied reference specifies IP67 protection. Actual ingress protection depends on the selected configuration, correct panel installation, sealing and proper mating. Unmated connectors should not automatically be considered IP67 protected.
