These M12 connectors have eight- and 12-pin positions for direct mounting onto PCBs and panels and complement field-installable connectors and cable assembly solutions. They are UL-certified and have an IP67 rating, indicating that they are dust-tight and waterproof down to a depth of at least 1 m. They help to ensure efficient, high-quality and reliable signal transmission. The high pin density on the 12-pin connector in particular provides a very compact design.
