Product Release Notification 26_002: M12 Push-Pull overmolded connectors | Inner locking, A/D/X-coded

ESCHA is now expanding its push-pull portfolio to include overmoulded connectors, thereby providing the counterpart to the push-pull receptacles. This means that the entire system can now be offered with the quick and intuitive push-pull locking mechanism, which helps to reduce assembly and downtime and provides the user with a tangible benefit. The robust push-pull mechanism is suitable for vibration-prone environments and represents a scalable portfolio for signal, fieldbus and Ethernet. Like the push-pull receptacles, the overmoulded connectors with push-pull locking meet the specific requirements of DIN EN IEC 61076-2-010.

The new M12 push-pull connector (male) expands the classic M12 device connectors to include a push-pull locking mechanism. This enables a quick, tool-free connection with clear tactile feedback without compromising the established M12 interface logic (coding and applications). The new locking mechanism is initially available as an overmoulded connector in various coding options (A, D and X) as a shielded or unshielded variant. Further coding options can be provided on request. Furthermore, it is possible to select from different cable qualities.
