Overview
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 24-volt power supply systems used in PROFINET devices. M12 L-code cable assemblies handle up to 16A per pin
–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 1.5 mm² up to 2.5 mm² allowing for a more compact build of a high-power solutions for automation devices.
BEHPEX M12 Power L-code connectors are IP67 rated, protected from dust and resist temporary submersion in water at depths of up to
1 meter for 30 minutes.
The L-coding version is designed for DC power supplies with 63 V DC / 16 A, where a high current and low voltage is required making
ideal for Fieldbus Ethernet I/O boxes, Ethernet systems, Network Devices, Motors and Drives and Valve applications.
