Low profile M-series panel mount connectors reduce protrusion from the panel while maintaining sealing performance and connection reliability. The threaded interface sits within the panel, creating a cleaner and more compact installation both when mated and unmated.
Available in M5, M8, and M12 sizes, these connectors support A-code, B-code, and D-code configurations for signal, data, and power applications. With 3 to 8 pin options, the series supports flexible design requirements without increasing panel footprint.
| M Size | Coding | Number of Conductors | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| M5 | A | 3C, 4C | Compact sensor and low voltage applications |
| M8 | A | 3C, 4C, 6C, 8C | Signal, sensor, and field device connections |
| B | 5C | ||
| D | 4C | ||
| M12 | A | 3C, 4C, 5C, 6C, 8C | Power, signal, and industrial Ethernet |
| B | 4C, 5C | ||
| D | 4C, 5C |
Gold plated contacts reduce contact resistance and protect against corrosion over time, while IP67 sealing protects against dust and water ingress when properly installed.

FAQs
How is a lower profile achieved in this connector series?
This series positions the locking coupling on the inside of the panel rather than the front. In typical M series designs, the coupling threads sit external to the panel, which requires additional clearance for mating and increases the connector's protrusion. By moving the coupling interface internal to the panel, this series reduces the overall exposed profile.
What is the advantage of a low profile panel mount design?
A reduced profile minimizes interference in tight enclosures, lowers the risk of impact damage, and supports cleaner panel layouts.
Are these connectors waterproof?
They meet IP67 requirements when properly installed and mated, protecting against dust ingress and temporary water exposure.
How is IP67 sealing maintained during installation?
Proper torque must be applied to compress sealing elements without damaging the O-ring. Refer to product drawings for exact torque specifications.
