Lapp EPIC POWER M12L compact power connectors

Click2Contact

The Lapp EPIC POWER M12L connector is designed for uses including cobots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), while use in I/O modules for Profinet is another common field of application.

To date, 7/8″ connectors have been the standard power interface for the sensor/actuator control cabinet. The change to M12L enables boxes to be reduced in size by over 50%. The PNO has defined the M12 L-coded as the interface for the power supply for all Profinet applications including intelligent motors or I/O modules.

The mechanical L coding of the connector face prevents incorrect plugging with the mating connector. Crimp termination creates a vibration-proof connection, provides maximum contact protection between the contact and cable, and is suitable for automated assembly. When connected and locked, protection class IP65/67 and IP69 can be achieved. The new connector is also available as a 4-pin variant with black insulation and as a 4+FE variant with grey insulation and functional earthing contact (FE).

Also available are other additions in the EPIC POWER M12L series: an EPIC POWER M12L D6 coupling connector, an EPIC POWER M12L G4 panel-mount base, an EPIC POWER M12L F6 cable connector and the EPIC POWER M12L A4 panel-mount base. All variants are also available with solder contacts as an option. There are also EPIC POWER M12L contacts with multiple slots and marking of the conductor cross-section to ensure maximum contact from the plug connection.
