Connectors for electronic equipment – Product requirements – Part 2-108: Circular connectors – Detail specification for glass to metal seal style M12 connectors with screw-locking intended to mate with connectors conforming to IEC 61076-2-101 (Edition 1.0
This PAS describes circular connectors M12 typically used for industrial process measurement and control. These connectors consist of fixed glass to metal sealed styles with rewireable male contacts. Female connectors have round contacts ? 0@6 mm@ ? 0@76 mm@ ? 0@8 mm and ? 1@0 mm. The different codings prevent the mating of these coded male or female connectors to any other interfaces and cross-mating between the different codings. NOTE M12 is the dimension of the thread of the screw locking mechanism of these circular connectors.
