GX16 Connector for PLC-Based Control Panels
The GX16 connector is a reliable circular connector widely used in PLC-based control panels and industrial automation systems. Designed with a robust metal housing and secure threaded coupling mechanism, it ensures stable power and signal transmission in demanding electronic control environments.

Reliable Connection for Industrial Control Systems
In PLC control cabinets and automation panels, stable connectivity is critical. The GX16 connector provides secure electrical connections between controllers, sensors, power modules, and drive systems. Its screw-lock design prevents accidental disconnection caused by vibration or long-term operation.
Durable Metal Shell & Secure Locking Design
Manufactured with a high-strength metal shell, this GX16 connector offers excellent mechanical protection and long service life. The threaded locking structure enhances connection stability, making it suitable for continuous industrial operation.
Flexible Pin Configurations for Various Wiring Needs
The GX16 connector supports 2 to 10 pin configurations in male or female gender options, allowing engineers to match the connector to the specific signal and power requirements of their control panel design. This flexibility simplifies wiring layouts and reduces the need for multiple connector types.
Selection Considerations for Your Control Panel
- Confirm the number of cores required for your signal and power lines before selecting the pin configuration.
- Verify the gender of the connector (male or female) needed for both the cable and panel mount sides.
- Check the housing material and plating options to ensure compatibility with your environmental conditions.
- Ensure the threaded coupling mechanism fits your installation space and maintenance access requirements.
Application Boundaries
The GX16 connector is well suited for indoor industrial control cabinets, PLC panels, and automation equipment where reliable screw-locked connections are needed. It is not recommended for applications requiring high IP-rated waterproofing while unmated, or for environments with extreme chemical exposure, unless additional protective measures are verified.
Inquiry Input Checklist
When requesting a quote or technical support, please provide the following details to ensure accurate matching: required pin count, gender (male/female), cable outer diameter and conductor size, mounting style (panel or cable), and the specific electrical load (current and voltage) of your application. For further guidance on connector selection, refer to the 12G Series Circular Connectors or consult the M12 Connector for Industrial PLC and Motor Control Systems.
