Network accessory TELTONIKA M12 X-type 8-pin male connector PR40118K

TELTONIKA M12 X-type 8-pin male connector PR40118K is a network accessory designed for equipment requiring an M12 X-coded interface. The connector provides eight contacts in an X-coded layout, supporting reliable signal and power transmission for industrial Ethernet and sensor connections. It is compact and intended for use where secure, vibration-resistant cabling is required in industrial and automation environments.

Advantages

The M12 X-type design offers a compact footprint and defined pin assignment for high-speed data and power lines, reducing wiring errors and improving signal integrity. The 8-pin male configuration delivers stable mechanical contact and reliable electrical connection under vibration and temperature variation common in industrial sites. Its standardized X-coding ensures compatibility with devices that require shielded, high-speed Ethernet interfaces and precision sensor wiring.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet connections (e.g., PROFINET, EtherCAT) requiring X-coded M12 interfaces
• Sensor and actuator cabling in automation systems
• Compact network installations with space constraints and vibration exposure
• Field devices, gateways and modules that need a durable 8-contact M12 male connector

Key specifications

• Connector type: M12 X-type (X-coded)
• Contact configuration: 8-pin, male
• Application: industrial Ethernet and sensor interfaces
• Mechanical properties: vibration-resistant mating and retention
• Design: compact, panel or cable mountable depending on installation

How to use

Ensure the mating device uses an X-coded M12 female receptacle and that cabling supports the required Ethernet category and shielding. Align the X-coded keying to the counterpart and engage the threaded coupling until secure to provide a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Verify pin assignment and continuity before powering the system, and follow device-specific wiring diagrams when integrating signal and power lines through the 8 contacts.

Usage recommendations

Use shielded cable with appropriate category rating for high-speed data applications and apply strain relief to avoid mechanical stress on the connector. Inspect seals and threads periodically in harsh environments to maintain connection integrity and prevent ingress of dust or moisture.
