Harting extends versatility of M12 connectivity

Harting has added a female version to its successful M12 X-Code Slim Design connector series, expanding the opportunities for M12 connectivity in the process. 

Ideal for factory automation and transportation applications, Harting’s M12 Slim Design connectors and components with crimp termination technology deliver robust performance for high-speed 1-10 Gigabit Ethernet communications. Female and male versions of the M12 Slim Design connectors have a 16.5-mm external diameter for high-density integration on devices where space is at a premium. In addition, the Slim Design connectors conform to IEC 61076-2-109, and comply with Cat. 6A and Performance Class EA.

Harting’s M12 X-Code lineup features both standard and Slim Design connectors, which are ideal for carrying data for cameras and inspection systems used in monitoring high-speed production lines. The company also offers over-moulded variants of these connectors in different lengths, as well as an extensive range of complementary M12 components, like the M12 har-speed gender changer’s space-saving design for the IP65/67 environment. The gender changer allows connection of M12 female/d-coded to female/x-coded for fast Ethernet 100Mbits/s.
