Quick-lock connector

Wednesday, 13 June, 2007 | Supplied by: SICK Pty Ltd


The M12 standard is currently the predominant standard as far as actuator and sensor wiring is concerned in the machine installation area. There are now many different M12 systems with quick-lock connectors on the market. However, most of these systems do not have a quick-lock connector that can be used with standard sensors.

The Murrelektronik MQ12 has tackled this market requirement and is able to use standard sensors.

The MQ12 connector complies with protection class IP67 using a simple but clever method: the connector is placed onto the sensor - meaning that the flat gasket in the device immediately takes effect and seals off the connector. Now the plug is fixed to the thread by turning the locking mechanism clockwise by ¼ of a turn. An optical indicator now shows that the connector has been locked, therefore complying with requirements.

It is available in female straight, female 90° and female 90° with LED versions. The cable types that are available are PVC and PUR/halogen-free in yellow or black.
