M8 and M12 device connectors for automated production processes

Phoenix Contact is extending its range of device connectors for the transmission of data, signals, and power. The new M8 and M12 versions are suitable for direct integration into SMT soldering processes.

The M12 SMD connectors are available with different pin assignments and codings. This offers users numerous application options. The connectors have been developed for automated assembly and therefore enable efficient production processes. In combination with the push-pull housing screw connections, the connectors offer future-proof connection technology.

The new design brings further advantages:

The optimised shielding concept reduces mounting and spring forces, facilitates mounting and ensures reliable shielding transmission. The shortened alignment pins make it possible to assemble the PCB on both sides. The uniform installation geometry of the compact connectors simplifies the device design and enables a uniform installation height across all versions. The connectors meet the requirements of RoHS II without exemption 6c and are therefore fit for the future.
