Molex Brad M12 power L-code connector
Molex announces Brad M12 power L-code connector
Providing the power required for Industry 4.0 electric propulsion while being both compact and reliable, the Brad M12 power L-code connector system meets PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI) standards for PROFINET systems.
Features
- 63V AC-DC; up to 16.0A current per pin
- Delivers 4 times the power of standard M12 connectors
- Allows installations over a longer distance and reduced voltage drop due to 2.50mm2 thick wires
- IP67-sealed interface
- Provides a sealed connection ideal for use in harsh and wet industrial environments
- Includes a dust-proof connector that can be temporarily submerged in up to 1meter of water
- PI selected
- Enables immediate implementation into PROFINET applications
- Saves time and costs
- Pins enclosed in contact carrier
- Enhances operator safety by eliminating the chance of electrical shock due to exposed pins
- L-code mating interface
- Prevents mis-mating with other M12 connectors being used for input, output, signal or industrial network connections
- Products developed according to IEC Standard 61076-2-111
- Establishes an open-industry connector standard to increase adoption among a wide array of platforms and manufacturers
