Belden Lumberg Automation M12 receptacle connectors

Belden’s Lumberg Automation product range now includes M12 receptacle connectors that can be used to connect control units to ProfiNet/Profibus networks via bus modules as well as to transmit analog data at field level. Integrated shielding between devices delivers a high level of functional reliability.

The receptacle connectors are available with assembled control cables or with printed contacts for PCB mounting. In the printed contact versions, the integrated shielding ensures flexibility for shield continuity. With the assembled connectors, and depending on the port assignment of the control units, a diagnostics interface can be implemented outside the switch cabinet using an ethernet connection. This practically eliminates the disruptions resulting from repair or maintenance work.

These receptacle connectors are simple to install due to standardised M12 connection technology and colour-coded bus connections. Additional features include industrial protection class IP67, high shock and vibration resistance, and a wide temperature range of -30 to +80°C.

Versions with assembled control cables are intended for rear mounting.
