Introduction
With a wide variety of different sensor designs ifm electronic offers a wide range of high quality connectors. The choice of types covers common M8, M12, M18 types through to solenoid connectors. In addition to the sockets the basic range covers connection cables (jumpers) and splitter boxes.The M12 design in particular has become firmly established on the sensor market for many years and is therefore the preferred choice for extremely harsh applications. To be able to meet the different application requirements three product series have been developed.
M12 series with cable for factory automation
The ifm standard series for industrial use. Halogen-free PUR cable with high resistance to alternate bending stress, PUR housing material, gold-plated contacts and protection rating IP 68 guarantee long life in an oily and greasy environment. The international UL and CSA approval means these units are accepted anywhere in the world market.
M12 series with cable for the food industry
This series is specially designed for hygienic areas in food manufacture. High quality PVC cable and housing materials, coupling nuts of high-grade stainless steel (316S12) as well as gold-plated contacts are ideal features for use in wet areas. The high protection ratings IP 68 and IP 69K withstand high-pressure steam cleaning. They are chemically resistant to most common cleaning agents. The UL / CSA approval is a matter of course for these units.
M12 series with cable for welding
Specially for use in automated welding systems, several product reliability features must be met. This includes a long-term resistance to weld spatter. Irradiated, halogen-free PUR cables provide an especially efficient protection. This prevents weld slag from burning into the cable material thus damaging it. Teflon coated coupling nuts prevent the connector from being welded to the sensor. A special polyester fleece strip foil in the cable ensures a long life even in case of high torsional stress, for example in robot arms.
