Compared to the classic screw-connector the technician does not need a torque wrench for the CONEC M12 series with bayonet quick-locking. No visual contact is necessary to ensure a secure lock. A quarter turn by hand is enough to establish complete contact. The technician receives tactile and acoustic feedback. Locking by hand is not only simple and fast, but also safe. The three-point bayonet lock meets the protection level IP65, IP67 and IP69K. In addition, the series is shock and vibration-proof according to railway requirement IEC 61373:2010 Class 1B.
Connectors with bayonet quick-locking are available in overmolded, field attachable and socket versions. The coupling flange variants with direct PCB connection are equipped with an internal thread in the plug-in area, thus ensuring 100% backwards compatibility with standard M12 connectors.
