M12 · Design intent

From sensor signals to small controller power, start by choosing the right interface for limited space.

M12 combines a compact form with common connection configurations. Threaded or push-lock, cable or panel mount—start from the device's installation space, then select the contact count.

LLT · Environmental protection

Water stays out.Connected inside.

Compact controllers and sensors also need complete sealing. From the compact mating interface to the cable exit, moisture stops outside the connection.

IP67Applicable per selected configuration

Protection applies only after correct mating, locking, and cable sealing are complete. The imagery is an environmental illustration, not footage of actual testing. Applicable conditions ↗

Connection method

See how it locks first, then how it mounts.

The mating structure determines the locking method; the mounting form determines how the interface lands on the device. Select the two separately, and review appearance and configuration together.

M12 push-lock in-line female contact structure reference

In-line mating

Connect two harness sections, leaving room for mating travel and bend radius.

Appearance photos identify the mounting and coupling structure. Male contacts, female contacts and housing forms are labeled separately; for exact contact positions, see the mating face drawing of the selected model. When the device side uses female contacts, also verify the power supply direction and unmated protection.

Smaller size, easier routing.

For sensors, small controllers, and lighting control modules. Include overall dimensions, cable exit, and mating space in the selection.

PIN LAYOUT

Same housing — choose the right mating face.

Appearances may be similar; the mating face must be right. Contact count, contact size and pin/socket orientation are verified in one place.

The catalog face view is for identifying contact layout; where male/female and viewing direction are not marked, it does not replace the wiring diagram of the corresponding model. Click a pin count with a complete record to switch the configuration below.

Expand the original face view and check each item.

View by pin count, mating structure and contact grouping from the original documentation. Pin positions are not mirrored or rearranged; different original drawing variants are retained separately. Viewing direction, pin number functions and complete ordering numbers are confirmed per the final drawing.

Technical specifications

Your configuration, reviewed item by item.

Start with mounting and contacts, confirm the part number, then review the corresponding electrical and wiring parameters.

Parameter sources and applicability

Ratings and dimensions are confirmed per the selected model. Overall dimensions do not include device-side mating, cable bend, or tool space.

Back to device

State clearly where it connects.

Start from the connection position in the equipment to reduce selection errors based only on pin count and appearance.
