Product Information

Full details

The Phoenix Contact 1694282 is a field-attachable, angled M12 plug connector designed for robust industrial automation applications. It offers reliable sensor and actuator connections with its durable metallic housing, screw or spring clamp termination, and IP67 rating. This connector is ideal for users needing a flexible, on-site configurable solution for environments requiring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). A potential caveat is its 60V voltage limit, which may not suit higher power applications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does IP67 rating mean?

An IP67 rating signifies that the connector is protected against dust ingress (the '6') and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes (the '7'). This makes it suitable for many industrial and outdoor applications.

What is QUICKON technology?

QUICKON is Phoenix Contact's termination technology that allows for fast, tool-free connection of cables. Simply strip the cable and push it into the connector until it latches.

Can this connector be used for higher voltages than 60V?

No, this connector is rated for a maximum of 60V DC or 48V AC. Using it with higher voltages can lead to failure, damage, or safety hazards.

What is the maximum cable diameter this connector supports?

The connector is designed for cables with an outer diameter ranging from 6 mm to 8 mm.

Is the connector shielded?

Yes, the connector features a robust metallic cover that provides shielding for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), which is important in electrically noisy environments.

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

For M12 connectors, A-coding typically refers to a standard for sensor/actuator connections, often used for DC voltage signals and having a specific pin arrangement (in this case, 5 pins).

Can I use this connector for power supply, not just signals?

With a 4.0A rating, it can handle low-power DC loads. However, it is primarily designed for sensor and actuator signals. For higher power distribution, connectors with higher current and voltage ratings would be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Connector does not make contact / No signal.

Verify all wire connections are secure within the connector. Ensure the mating connector is properly seated and compatible (M12, 5-pin, A-coded). Check that the cable diameter is within the specified range (6-8 mm).

Intermittent signal or noise.

Ensure the shielding is properly connected to ground. Check that the connector housing is securely fastened and the cable gland is tightened to maintain the IP67 seal. Verify no damage to the cable or connector.

Difficulty terminating cable with QUICKON.

Ensure the cable outer jacket is stripped to the correct length and the individual conductors are properly inserted into their respective terminals. Ensure the cable diameter is within the specified range for the QUICKON mechanism to engage correctly.

Connector not sealing properly (IP rating compromised).

Confirm the cable outer jacket is seated correctly within the cable gland and that the gland is tightened securely. Ensure the mating connector's seal is intact and clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and durable construction suitable for industrial environments.
  • QUICKON technology allows for rapid on-site connections.
  • Shielded design provides protection against electromagnetic interference.
  • Field-configurable for increased installation flexibility.
  • IP67 rating ensures protection against dust and water.

Cons

  • Limited to 60V DC / 48V AC voltage rating.
  • Screw connection might require more torque than spring clamp.
  • External cable diameter is limited to 6-8 mm.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring higher current loads than 4.0A.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the cable end by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual wires according to the QUICKON termination guide (typically 6-8 mm external diameter).
  2. Insert the wires into the corresponding color-coded terminals or screw terminals within the connector.
  3. Tighten the screw terminals or ensure the QUICKON connection is securely seated. For QUICKON, push the cable firmly into the connector until it clicks.
  4. Screw the connector housing onto the cable gland.
  5. Attach the angled plug connector to its mating socket.

Compatibility:

  • Mating Connectors: Compatible with standard M12 sockets that are A-coded and 5-pin.
  • Cable Diameter: Suitable for cables with an outer diameter ranging from 6 mm to 8 mm.
  • Voltage/Current: Designed for up to 60V DC / 48V AC and a maximum current of 4.0A.

Care:

  • Clean the connector exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the sealing surfaces of the connector and its mating socket are free from dirt and debris before mating.
  • Periodically inspect the cable and connector for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion, especially in harsh environments.
