Product Information

Full details

The Phoenix Contact 1419640 is a robust M12 socket connector designed for secure and reliable connections in industrial automation. It offers a high degree of protection (IP67) and screw connection for easy on-site assembly, making it ideal for connecting sensors and actuators in demanding environments. A potential consideration is the specific S-coding which ensures protection against incorrect connections, requiring proper matching with compatible components.

FAQs

What does IP67 rating mean?

IP67 means the connector is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

What conductor sizes can be used with the screw connection?

The screw connection is suitable for conductor cross-sections from 0.75mm² to 1.5mm².

Can this connector be used for DC applications?

While rated for 230V AC, its physical design and screw connection are robust. However, for DC applications, always verify voltage and current ratings against your specific DC power source and device requirements. The S-coding is primarily for signal integrity and preventing incorrect mating.

How do I ensure a secure cable connection?

Ensure the cable is stripped to the correct length, inserted firmly into the connector, and the screw terminals are tightened securely. The Pg9 cable gland must also be tightened to seal against the cable's outer jacket.

What is S-coding on M12 connectors?

S-coding is a specific keying system for M12 connectors, typically used for AC power applications up to 230V. It ensures that only compatible S-coded plugs can be connected, preventing mismating with other common M12 codes (like A or B).

What is the maximum current and voltage rating?

The connector is rated for a maximum current of 16A and a maximum voltage of 230V AC.

What material are the contacts made of?

The contacts are made of a copper alloy with a gold surface plating for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Connector not powering device

Verify that the connected plug and cable are securely fastened. Check that the conductors are correctly terminated in the screw terminals and that the cable is within the specified diameter range. Ensure the mating connector is properly seated and the circuit is powered.

Intermittent signal loss

Inspect the cable for damage and ensure it is properly secured by the cable gland. Check for corrosion on the gold-plated contacts. Re-tighten the screw terminals to ensure a firm connection with the conductors.

IP67 seal compromised

Ensure the Pg9 cable gland is tightened correctly around the cable. Verify the cable diameter is within the 6-8mm specification. Inspect the connector housing and mating surfaces for any cracks or debris.

Cannot mate with existing connector

Confirm that both connectors are M12, and crucially, that both are S-coded. Incorrect coding (e.g., A-coded, B-coded) will prevent mating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High IP67 rating for excellent environmental protection.
  • Reliable screw connection for secure wiring.
  • Suitable for demanding industrial applications with 16A/230V AC rating.
  • S-coding prevents incorrect connections, enhancing system safety.
  • Compact and robust design for reliable long-term use.

Cons

  • Specific S-coding may limit compatibility with non-S-coded components.
  • Requires specific Pg9 cable gland for proper cable entry.
  • On-site assembly requires basic electrical wiring knowledge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the mating connector is also S-coded and compatible.
  2. Prepare the cable conductors to the appropriate length for the screw terminals.
  3. Insert the cable through the Pg9 cable gland, ensuring it's properly seated.
  4. Connect each conductor to the corresponding screw terminal (pin 1, 2, 3) within the socket.
  5. Tighten the cable gland securely to maintain the IP67 seal.
  6. Screw the connector into its designated panel mount or mating cable.

Compatibility:

  • This is an M12 socket connector with S-coding. It is designed to mate with M12 plugs that are also S-coded.
  • Compatible with conductors ranging from 0.75mm² to 1.5mm².
  • Cable diameter range: 6 mm to 8 mm.
  • Power rating: 16A / 230V AC.

Care:

  • Clean the connector exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Periodically inspect the connector for signs of damage or wear, especially the sealing surfaces and screw terminals.
  • Ensure the cable gland remains tight to maintain the IP67 rating.
