M12 L and T-coded connectors with stainless steel locking for harsh industrial settings

binder has introduced new M12 L- and T-coded connectors providing stainless steel locking mechanisms, ensuring the highest levels of reliability and durability in demanding industrial environments.

With the launch of the latest 813 (T-coded) and 823 (L-coded) series field attachable M12 connectors, the company is expanding its portfolio with particularly robust solutions. The connectors have a robust stainless steel locking mechanism, IP67 degree of protection and an outstanding mechanical service life of over 100 mating cycles. The 813 series offers a pole count of four, while the 823 series offers pole counts of four and four+FE. Both variants are created for cable diameters of 6-13mm. Another advantage is their high temperature resistance: they are designed for an operating range of -40C to +105C and are ideal for modern industrial applications.

In today's industrial landscape, characterised by advancing automation and the increasing requirement for robust and space-saving connection solutions, the M12 series is establishing new standards. The new connectors not only impress with their high reliability and durability, but also their impressive resistance to extreme conditions. Given the increasing needs in the context of Industry 4.0, these connectors represent a cost-effective and reliable solution for signal, data and power supply in harsh environments.

The 813 series (T-code) is particularly suited to applications where high electrical performance and high resistance to external influences are needed. The number of poles of four and a screwable stainless steel locking mechanism result in a protection class of IP67, which ensures complete protection against dust and temporary immersion in water. The connection is made via screw terminals, which are appropriate for cable apertures of 6-10mm, and supports a connection cross-section of up to 1.5mm²/AWG 16. The series has a rated voltage of 63V and a rated current of 12A, which qualifies it for use in electrical systems with high requirements. The mechanical service life of over 100 mating cycles ensures a long service life.

The 823 series (L-code) allows increased flexibility and performance, particularly for applications with increased current requirements. The number of poles of four or four+FE and the connection cross-section of up to 2.5mm²/AWG14 without wire end ferrules predestine this series for use with higher current loads of up to 16A. The stainless steel locking mechanism also ensures high mechanical stability and IP67 protection. The wide cable aperture of 8-13mm and the ability to work in temperature ranges from -40C to 105C make this series the excellent solution for demanding industrial environments. In electrical terms, the series has a rated voltage of 63V.
