M8 Waterproof Connector Types and Specifications
M12 Waterproof Straight Metal Assembly Connector IP67 for Industrial Field Wiring
The M12 Waterproof Straight Metal Assembly Connector IP67 is designed for industrial systems that require a rugged, stable, and field-assembled connection interface. With its full metal housing and straight-type structure, this connector provides excellent mechanical strength while ensuring reliable signal and power transmission in demanding environments.

It is widely used in automation equipment, sensor systems, industrial control devices, and outdoor electrical applications where durability and consistent performance are essential.
Built for Harsh Industrial Environments
Industrial connectivity is often exposed to vibration, dust, moisture, and continuous operation. This M12 metal assembly connector is engineered to maintain stable performance under these conditions by combining:
- Strong metal housing protection
- Secure straight assembly structure
- Stable electrical transmission
- Reliable environmental sealing

Its rugged construction makes it suitable for long-term use in both indoor industrial systems and outdoor equipment.
Straight Type Assembly Design
The straight configuration provides a direct cable exit, making it ideal for applications where wiring direction is aligned with the equipment layout. It helps achieve:
- Simple cable routing
- Reduced installation complexity
- Cleaner equipment wiring structure
- Easier field assembly and maintenance
As an assembly-type connector, it also supports flexible on-site cable termination, improving adaptability during installation.
Key Selection Considerations
When evaluating this M12 connector for your application, consider the following decision points:
-
Pin count and gender: Available in 2-17 pin configurations in male or female versions; confirm the mating connector and pinout before ordering.
-
Housing material: PA66 or nickel-plated brass options affect environmental resistance and mechanical strength; choose based on your installation environment.
-
Contact plating: Silver or gold plating on brass contacts influences conductivity and corrosion resistance for your specific signal or power requirements.
-
Temperature range: Rated for -40°C to +85°C operation; verify this matches your equipment's thermal environment.
-
Locking system: Screw locking provides secure mating under vibration; confirm the mating thread standard matches your existing equipment.
