TE Connectivity M12 Power L-code connectors
TE Connectivity announces M12 Power L-code connectors
M12 Power L-code connectors are an extension of the current M12 IEC standard and have been selected by PROFIBUS and PROFINET International as the standard for 24V power supply systems used in PROFINET devices. An extension of TE’s M12 product portfolio, M12 L-code cable assemblies handle up to 16A per pin – the highest in TE’s M12 family – delivering four times the power of standard M12 connectors while providing reliable and efficient power supply. M12 Power L-coded connectors take up to 40% less space and almost 80% more power than 7/8” connectors traditionally used for high-power connections. The M12 power cable assemblies are available in both male and female connectors and suitable for every purpose with its conductor size from 1.5mm² up to 2.5mm² allowing for a more compact build of a high-power solutions for automation devices.
