As electronic devices are becoming increasingly more compact, customers are demanding compact power supply connectivity solutions. Most manufacturers tend to prefer the industry-proven M12x1-interface. ESCHA from RET Automation Controls has now developed a complete M12
portfolio providing reliable power transmission.
All components have been basically redesigned and meet the IP67, IP68 and IP69 requirements and thereby fulfilling UL 2237. Due to a connection cross-sectional area up to 2.5mm², the products allow for a large extension of power distribution; a further advantage – especially in case of DC-current distribution – is the slight voltage drop in contrast to the small cross-sectional area.
Two coding types have been developed for M12x1-power transmission:
- Connectors with S-coding type are particularly adapted to alternating-current applications (AC-applications of up to 12A / 630V).
- For direct-current applications (DC-applications of up to 12A / 63V), connectors with T-coding type are used.
With ‘Power S’ and ‘Power T’, ESCHA has the right flange as well as the connector in straight- and angled versions, female or male for all applications.
