M12 Power L-coded offers more power

The M12 Power has been launched in the UK by HARTING. The connector is said to offer sufficient power carrying capabilities and a smaller design footprint, allowing users to save on both space and number of interfaces.

In order to make manufacturer-neutral mating faces a reality, HARTING has participated in the development of new industry standards such as the IEC 61067-2-111 standard, which it claims to be the basis for future M12 Power connector solutions.

A universal mating face with L-coding has also emerged from this work and features in the M12 Power connector. At 63V/16A, the five pin L-coded connector can carry 0.75kW of power, making it useable for small servo motors, field distribution boxes, field-bus-controlled I/O boxes, power supply devices and valve applications.

The HARAX IDC connectors and 360° shielded crimp terminals are available for straight male/female versions.
