Mating compatibility
Specify coding, contact gender, circuit count and pin assignment. The M12 name alone does not define a compatible pair.

M8 / M12 connectors
A connector format, with many configurations.
Explore the requirements ↓SELECTION CONTEXT
What this family does
M8 and M12 are starting points for specifying an interface. Coding, circuit count and the mating assembly determine what can actually be connected.
SELECTION CONTEXT
Bring these four requirements
01
Mating pair and required coding
Record the actual requirement or identify what still needs to be clarified.
02
Circuit count and pin assignment
Record the actual requirement or identify what still needs to be clarified.
03
Required current and voltage
Record the actual requirement or identify what still needs to be clarified.
04
Environment and mounting
Record the actual requirement or identify what still needs to be clarified.

Before comparing part numbers
Specified device mating interface ↔ matching cable / panel assembly
Electrical load
Verify voltage, current, conductor size and shielding for the exact assembly. Signal and power connections have different requirements.
Installed protection
Confirm seal, cable diameter, termination, tightening and cable bending instructions. Review both mated service and unmated exposure.
Confirm these selection dimensions against the exact model documentation and the equipment interfaces.
SELECTION CONTEXT
A practical selection checklist
- Confirm the controller, supply and mechanical interfaces.
- Check operation across the intended load and environmental range.
- Review the model datasheet, drawings and installation instructions.
- Confirm quantity, source, lead time and documentation in the written quotation.

Before you enquire
Are these stocked or authorized product listings?
These pages describe enquiry categories. They do not claim inventory or manufacturer authorization. A specific source and commercial offer are confirmed per quotation.
Can I send an existing part number?
Yes. Include the manufacturer, exact ordering code, quantity and any required documentation. For an alternative, explain which electrical and mechanical requirements must remain compatible.
Can one specification be used for the whole family?
Ratings, interfaces and installation requirements vary by model. Refer to the selected model’s datasheet and drawings for its specifications.
SELECTION CONTEXT
Read before selecting
NEXT STEP
Ready to discuss a specific requirement?
Send the operating conditions, quantity and any existing part number. Model, documentation, source and commercial terms are confirmed in the quotation.

A-coded sensor and CAN enquiries
Where the device specifies an A-coded M12 interface, confirm the mating pair, pin count, pin assignment, shielding and cable requirements. CAN and sensor assemblies can use A coding, but coding alone does not establish protocol or electrical compatibility.
ASSEMBLY REVIEW
Confirm both halves of the connection.
RELATED COMPONENTS & FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS
Complete the surrounding interfaces.
Review these categories alongside the current component. A related category is not a verified compatible combination; selected model interfaces still need checking.
