TE Connectivity SPE M12 hybrid board connector
TE Connectivity announces SPE M12 hybrid board connector
TE Connectivity's SPE-M12 hybrid is an industrial connector for Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) that combines data and power transmission in one interface. It supports highspeed data (up to 1 Gbps) and power delivery (16A to 2x8A). Designed for harsh environments, it offers robust protection (IP67), and secure locking mechanism. Fully compliant with IEC 63171-7, it ensures interoperability across devices and manufacturers. This interface supports trends as decentralizaton, miniaturization and digitalization in the industrial environment.
