Product Information

Full details

This Murrelektronik M12 female connector cable is designed for industrial automation and control systems, offering a reliable solution for sensor and actuator connections. Its 4-pin A-coding and straight configuration ensure easy integration, while the durable PVC jacket provides good resistance to chemicals and oils. A key benefit is its robust construction and IP65/IP66K/IP67 rating for harsh environments. One caveat to consider is that the resistance to aggressive media should be individually tested for specific applications.

FAQs

What does 'A-coding' mean for an M12 connector?

A-coding is the standard for M12 connectors used in industrial automation for sensor/actuator applications. It typically signifies a 4-pin configuration where pins 1 and 2 carry signal, pin 3 is often unused or for +V/ground, and pin 4 is for ground. It ensures correct polarity and prevents mismating with other M12 codings (like B, C, D).

What is the maximum voltage and current this cable can handle?

The cable has a nominal voltage of 300V AC and a nominal current of 4A. Ensure your application does not exceed these ratings.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

With its IP65, IP66K, and IP67 ratings, the cable offers significant protection against dust and water, making it suitable for many outdoor industrial applications. However, prolonged direct UV exposure might degrade the PVC jacket over time.

Is it possible to get this cable in a different length?

Yes, Murrelektronik offers further cable lengths on request. Contact your supplier for custom length options.

What kind of resistance does the PVC jacket offer?

The PVC jacket provides good resistance to oil, petrol, and chemicals. However, for aggressive media, individual testing for your specific application is recommended.

How should I attach the open cable end?

The open cable end should be connected to your control system or junction box according to standard electrical wiring practices. Ensure proper termination and strain relief for reliable connections.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Please refer to the specific warranty information provided by your Murrelektronik supplier, as warranty terms can vary.

Troubleshooting

No signal from sensor/actuator

Verify connections at both ends are secure. Check that the M12 connector is properly seated and tightened. Confirm the correct wiring of the open cable end to your control system. Ensure the nominal voltage and current ratings are not exceeded.

Intermittent connection

Inspect the M12 connector for damage or debris. Check the cable for any signs of physical stress or damage. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending or pulling.

IP rating compromised (water/dust ingress)

Ensure the M12 connector is fully tightened. Check the cable jacket for any cuts or abrasions. Replace the cable if any damage is found that compromises the sealing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction suitable for harsh industrial environments.
  • High level of protection against dust and water (IP65/IP66K/IP67).
  • Good chemical and oil resistance for reliability in various applications.
  • Standardized M12 A-coding ensures compatibility with many sensors and actuators.
  • UL/CSA certification provides assurance of quality and safety standards.

Cons

  • Specific resistance to aggressive media needs to be verified for each application.
  • Maximum operating temperature of +85°C may limit use in extreme heat conditions.
  • The fixed 2-meter length might not be suitable for all installation requirements (longer lengths available on request).
  • No shielding on the cable can be a limitation in electromagnetically noisy environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the M12 female socket to the corresponding M12 male connector on your sensor or actuator. The screw thread provides a secure locking mechanism; recommended tightening torque is 0.6 Nm. The open cable end connects to your control system or junction box following standard wiring practices for the 4x0.34mm² conductors (brown, white, blue, black).

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any standard M12, 4-pole, A-coded sensor or actuator. It is designed to work with systems operating up to 300V AC and 4A nominal current. Ensure your connected devices fall within these electrical specifications.

Care: Clean the connector and cable exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents. The PVC jacket offers good chemical resistance, but prolonged exposure to aggressive media should be monitored, and testing is recommended for specific applications. Ensure connections remain clean and free from debris to maintain optimal performance and IP rating.
