TE Connectivity Introduced M12 Rail Cable Connectors

TE Connectivity's (TE) newly expanded M12 connector system, designed for railway (EN45545) and automation industry applications, provides a solution that safely and reliably helps ensure communication in harsh environments. With an IP67 rating and compliance that meet essential rail standards, this rail engineered product is fast to assemble in the factory or in the field. TE�s crimp flange technology and machined crimp contacts provide 360o EMI/RFI shielding as well as torsion and vibration proof cable strain relief. The M12 bulkhead connectors, with the fully shielded housing, are pre-assembled. For the secure automatic wave soldering process of the conductors, versions with pre-assembled wire clip are available.
