M12 connecters are an interface for data, signal and power – with a range of coding options available.
The HARTING M12 connectors range is available in IP65/67, and includes a wide product portfolio. There are two types of termination available are standard crimp termination and HARAX IDC termination for field assembly. HARAX provides tool-less termination, although it sounds scary, HARAX is a simple and easy process, ideal for field assembly – involving stripping the cable insulation, inserting the conductors and then screwing the connector together.
