FAQ – M-Series Connectors

What are M-Series Connectors used for?

M-Series connectors (M12, M8, M5, M6) are commonly used in automation, sensor systems, and fieldbus networks where compact and secure connections are needed.

What protection ratings do you offer?

We offer IP67 and IP68-rated assemblies for use in harsh or wet environments requiring dust- and water-proof connectivity.

Can I customize the connector or cable?

Yes. We provide tailored solutions including pin configuration, cable length, coding type (A, B, D etc.), shielding, and overmould design.

Do you comply with IEC standards?

Absolutely. All our M-Series solutions are designed according to IEC 61076 standards.

What is the difference between M12 and M8 connectors?

M12 connectors are slightly larger and often used for power and Ethernet, while M8/M5 are more compact and used for signal or sensor connections in space-constrained environments.
