Pin Assignment & Wiring
M12 X-Coded Plug to M12 X-Coded Jack
According to the supplied wiring drawing, all eight conductors are connected straight through from the M12 X-coded plug to the M12 X-coded jack. Each conductor maintains the same pin number at both ends.
| M12 Plug Pin | Wire Color | M12 Jack Pin | Connection |
| Pin 1 | White/Orange | Pin 1 | 1 → 1 |
| Pin 2 | Orange | Pin 2 | 2 → 2 |
| Pin 3 | White/Green | Pin 3 | 3 → 3 |
| Pin 4 | Green | Pin 4 | 4 → 4 |
| Pin 5 | White/Brown | Pin 5 | 5 → 5 |
| Pin 6 | Brown | Pin 6 | 6 → 6 |
| Pin 7 | White/Blue | Pin 7 | 7 → 7 |
| Pin 8 | Blue | Pin 8 | 8 → 8 |
The pin assignment above follows the supplied product wiring drawing. The mating interface and pin assignment should be confirmed against the target equipment before production or installation.
