binder M12 823 series panel mount connectors

binder has expanded its M12 range to include panel mount connectors with L-coding and dip solder contacts. The standardised products are soldered onto printed circuit boards and designed to support the trend towards decentralisation and serve to supply devices with 63 V and 16 A. The 823 series products are suitable for hand soldering, wave soldering and reflow soldering in printed circuit boards (PCBs) in automation applications that are typically subject to installation restrictions. There, they serve as electrochemical interfaces in the power supply of industrial devices up to 63 V (DC) and 16 A.

With the trend towards decentralised automation, miniaturisation is also advancing, with field devices such as sensors, actuators and controllers shrinking while their functionality increases and their power requirements grow. L-coded M12 connectors are a space-saving alternative to the 7/8″ connection technology established in power supply.

The 823 series includes two-piece male and female panel mount connectors, each consisting of a mounting body and a socket housing, which are not permanently connected to each other. Compared to the use of single-piece components, assembly and disassembly of the PCB are simplified. The IP68-protected (when mated) connectors are suitable for both front and rear panel mounting.

The 823 series featured a buried and captive O-ring with metallic blocking and an O-ring between the socket housing and contact body that prevents sealing compound from leaking out when the user’s housing is being sealed. A seal to the cable part is provided on the socket housing and the latter is guided, even in the case of thin-walled mounting flanges.
