February 7, 2012 - Binder-USA announced M12 A-coded panel-mount receptacles. The receptacles are prewired with 18 gauge leads, which have increased the rated current and voltage compared to other M12 connectors. This increase in wire size makes the connectors ideally suited for industrial and automation applications. The M12 receptacles are prewired with 18 gauge 200mm long leads making it now possible to conduct up to 8 amps per contact and 250 volts per connector. The receptacles have a PG9 mounting thread and are available with 4 and 5 gold-plated contacts.
For protection from liquids and debris the connectors are sealed to an IP67 rating making them suitable for harsh environments. The new receptacles will mate with Binder's M12 A-coded male and female cable connectors to make a complete connecting system.
