Espelkamp, April 2017 - The classic M12 connector is changing. With its D/A-coded M12 PCB in two-piece and angled design, HARTING provides circular connectors with access to space-saving switches.

HARTING is offering the M12 2-piece angled PCB in the male and female variants as well as with A and D-coding. This now makes it possible to flexibly implement a very wide variety of variants and combinations when supplying power to switches and other devices. The codings offer power supply and Fast Ethernet up to 100Mbit/s.

With its 90° angled construction, the M12 circular connector mounts particularly well on printed circuit boards which are placed flat in a rack or a device. Here, space saving plays a decisive role. This space saving sees the new M12 follows the trend towards miniaturisation.
