Phoenix Contact 1681143 M12 Female Angled Sensor Connector, 4-Pin, Black

The Phoenix Contact 1681143 is a professional-grade M12 female angled sensor connector engineered for high-performance industrial automation and signal transmission. This 4-pin connector features an A-coded interface and a robust design, ensuring reliable connectivity for sensors and actuators in demanding field environments. With its angled orientation, it is specifically designed to save space in tight installation areas while maintaining a secure and stable connection.

Advantages

This connector offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality zinc die-cast knurl, which is nickel-plated to resist corrosion and mechanical stress. The screw connection technology allows for efficient field assembly without the need for specialized tools, facilitating quick installation or maintenance. Its compact angled design effectively manages cable routing in confined spaces, reducing strain on the cable and the connection point. The integrated Pg7 cable gland provides a reliable seal for cables with diameters ranging from 4 mm to 6 mm, ensuring protection against environmental factors.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Sensor and actuator cabling
• Field assembly of signal lines
• Applications requiring space-saving angled connections

When it may not be suitable

This connector is not intended for use with cables outside the specified diameter range of 4 mm to 6 mm, as this will compromise the integrity of the cable gland seal. It is also not suitable for high-power electrical distribution applications, as it is designed specifically for signal and low-voltage sensor transmission.

Key specifications

• Connector type: M12 female, angled
• Number of positions: 4-pin
• Coding: A-coded
• Connection method: Screw connection
• Knurl material: Zinc die-cast, nickel-plated
• Cable gland: Pg7
• Compatible cable diameter: 4 mm to 6 mm

How to use

To install the connector, first strip the outer insulation of your cable to expose the individual wires. Feed the cable through the Pg7 gland and the housing components. Connect the individual wires to the internal screw terminals according to your wiring diagram, ensuring each screw is tightened securely to provide a solid electrical contact. Once wired, assemble the connector housing and tighten the cable gland firmly to secure the cable and ensure the environmental seal is properly engaged.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable diameter falls strictly within the 4 mm to 6 mm range.
• Ensure the M12 A-coded interface is compatible with your existing sensor or actuator ports.
• Confirm that the screw connection method meets your requirements for field assembly speed.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure that the cable is properly supported near the connection point to minimize mechanical vibration and tension on the M12 interface. Regularly inspect the cable gland tightness during routine maintenance to maintain the environmental protection rating.
