GX12 6-Pin Right-Angle Circular Connector: Space-Saving Wiring for Compact Enclosures

The GX12 6-pin right-angle circular connector features a 90° bent pin design, specifically developed for installations where panel depth or cable bend radius is restricted. This configuration allows cables to exit perpendicular to the mating axis, simplifying routing and reducing strain on the wire bundle in tight equipment layouts.

IP67 Environmental Rating and Operating Temperature Range

This connector series is rated IP67, confirming protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. It is designed for reliable operation across a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The housing incorporates anti-loosening features to maintain connection integrity under vibration, making it suitable for mobile or high-vibration equipment.

Materials, Plating, and Electrical Conductivity

The housing is constructed from zinc alloy with a nickel-plated finish, paired with a threaded locking mechanism for a secure, vibration-resistant connection. Contacts are made from copper alloy with silver plating, offering stable electrical conductivity for consistent signal transmission and low-power circuits. This material combination balances mechanical strength with corrosion resistance for industrial environments.

Pin Configurations and Solder Termination

The GX12 series is available in 2 to 7 pin configurations, enabling you to match the connector to your specific circuit requirements. Solder cup termination provides a straightforward and reliable method for both production line assembly and field wiring, requiring standard soldering tools and procedures.

Typical Applications for the GX12 Right-Angle Connector

This compact connector is commonly specified in industrial automation, robotics, medical devices, and unmanned aerial vehicles, where space efficiency and dependable connectivity are critical design factors. The right-angle version is particularly useful when cable entry must be parallel to the mounting surface.
