With the launch of the 813 (T-coded) and 823 (L-coded) series field attachable M12 connectors, binder said that it was expanding its portfolio with more robust solutions.

The connectors have a stainless-steel locking mechanism, have an IP67 degree of protection and a mechanical service life of over 100 mating cycles. The 813 series offer a pole count of 4, while the 823 series offer pole counts of 4 and 4+FE. Both variants are designed for cable diameters of 6-13 mm.

They have another advantage which is their high temperature resistance: they are designed for an operating range of -40 °C to +105 °C and are therefore suitable for most modern industrial applications.

The 813 series (T-code) is suitable for applications where high electrical performance and high resistance to external influences are required. The number of poles of four and a screwable stainless steel locking mechanism result in a protection class of IP67, which guarantees complete protection against dust and temporary immersion in water. The connection is made via screw terminals, which are suitable for cable apertures of 6-10 mm, and supports a connection cross-section of up to 1.50 mm²/AWG 16.

The series has a rated voltage of 63 V and a rated current of 12.0 A, which qualifies it for use in electrical systems with high requirements.

The 823 series (L-code) enable increased flexibility and performance, especially for applications with increased current requirements. The number of poles of 4 or 4+FE and the connection cross-section of up to 2.5 mm² / AWG 14 without wire end ferrules predestine this series for use with higher current loads of up to 16 A.

The stainless-steel locking mechanism also ensures high mechanical stability and IP67 protection. The wide cable aperture of 8-13 mm and the ability to work in temperature ranges from -40 °C to 105 °C make this series suitable for demanding industrial environments.

In electrical terms, the series has a rated voltage of 63 V.
