Circular Connectors
M8/M12 - I/O CONNECTORS FEATURES
Since the 1980s, M8/M12 connectors have been used in sensor technology and industrial automation
Coding A, B, D, X
devices. The connectors were developed for higher protection classes such as IP65 or IP67. The mating
No. of Pins 4 – 17 pin
face is coded and standardized so that end customers can use cables from different manufacturers.
Termination technology SMT (Surface Mount Technology), THR (Through Hole Reflow)
Due to the high reliability and robustness, more and more applications and connector codings have Applications Signal- and data transmission, power supply
been added over the years. The high degree of protection allows decentralized use of the devices Male and female connectors 180°
and trends such as Industry 4.0 or IIoT are making these devices increasingly intelligent. Connectors
Male connectors for direct integration
The communication of the devices is mostly done via serial systems such as Cable assemblies, quick termination

fieldbuses or industrial ethernet. Parallel wiring is largely avoided. Extensions T-Coupler, adapter

Sensors or actors are mostly connected with an A-coded connector. Fieldbuses, for example, use the B coding. Panel feed-through
IEC 61076-2-101 form factor M12, various codings for M12
The installation guidelines of the various bus interest groups also provide for the distribution
IEC 61076-2-109 form factor M12, X-coded
of the connectors. The guidelines recommend certain connectors for the design, e.g. D and
Standards IEC 61076-2-104 form factor M8, various codings for M8
X coding for various ethernet protocols or A coding for sensor bus applications.
Profinet- and Profibus-installation instructions
In order to ensure efficient processing of these connectors, ERNI developed a solution
Other fieldbus- and Industry ethernet-standards
early on that is packaged in tape and reel and can be assembled automatically; among the
world‘s first M12 connector with Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) connections.

ADVANTAGES ADVANTAGES
Stamped Female Contacts Optional Pad
• economical stamped female contact • with pad for easy assembly with standard nozzles
• reliable due to double-sided contacting • without pad cost-optimized for the assembly experts
• rolled, homogeneous surface, guarantees
more secure contact mating
• gold plated mating area
• extremely low surface roughness
significantly reduces abrasion
• low contact resistance
• SMT termination

Machined Female Contacts Potting / Additional Sealing Function

• reliable due to double-sided contacting • additional sealing point for male connectors
• gold plated mating area • protection against liquids even when not plugged in
• SMT- or THR-Termination depending on • prevents leakage of potting material when
requirements for even more flexibility the electronics must be encapsulated
• optimized THR solder joints due to short soldering length

Robust Solder Clips Codings

• outstanding retention forces on the circuit board • coding of the mating face prevents mismating
• soldering brackets absorb mechanical stress and are • different codings enable different interface functions
able to withstand high shock and vibration loads • pre-alignment of the cable connectors
• high shear and tear-off forces build trust prevents contact damage
in surface-mounted connectors

Processing Features: The connector has integrated PCB support points, which
• irst M12 90° version which has capability for automated pick and place assembly are able to adapt to the 3 frequently-used PCB thicknesses.
• T&R packaging The thickest PCB could be 2.0 mm followed by the favorite 1,0
• integrated pick & place area 1.6 mm and further followed by the thinnest 1.0 mm.
• pegs and integrated PCB support areas ensure a secure position while soldering
• extremely robust due to pins soldered on top and bottom side of the PCB Note: Also other thicknesses in between of the
• lead-free reflow compatible mentioned range can be used, if the non centric
• rear mounting of the final assembled PCB in a housing position of the connector is taken into account.
1,6
For technical data refer to ERNI document 225407 The support points have to be considered according to
the chosen PCB thickness, see drawing left hand side.
The PCB has to be designed to provide those supports.
Sensor Pipe Solutions For exact dimensions, mechanical CAD-files can be provided.

This new development is a product that has never been existed before. It completes the ERNI M12 connector range with a
M12 male connector which targets specifically the sensor industry, where mostly one single male connector is used for a 2,0
device. To save cost and ensure high quality levels, the connector can be fully handled within a standard SMT assembly line.

Mating side according IEC 61076 – 2 – 101. PCB support points

Design Features:
• extremely short version 14 mm length Assembly Process
• specially designed for M12 sensor pipes
Printing of solder paste Automated Assembly
• front mounting of final assembled PCB into the sensor pipe
• sealing option with O-ring
• versions with anti twist protection Pick&Place area Noozle
• additional features see standard version

Comments:
• generally a certain mounting force is required
when using the THR solder process
• special nozzles may be necessary
• machine capability must be checked upfront
