Factory automation applications are demanding increasingly complex and powerful machinery in compact sizes. The Brad® M12 F-Coding Power Connector System addresses this industry concern with its small footprint, watertight and rugged design, and industry-leading current capability. The 16.0A current capability of the M12 connector was developed to meet the power requirements of motors, solenoid-operated valves, actuation equipment and 24V DC auxiliary power systems in automation control systems, all while maintaining a compact footprint.
