FDA compliant for direct contact with food, these cords are safe to use with 12 mm proximity switches, valves, and power supplies in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. They won’t break down from high heat or washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers when mated because of their IP ratings, TPE insulation, and polypropylene and stainless steel housing. Their insulation also means they’re highly flexible and resist chemicals, UV rays, and abrasion. All cords are threaded, so they won’t come loose from vibration in automated systems.

To reduce the risk you’ll mismatch connections, poles and keyways on the connector face adhere to standard coding layouts. All cords are A coded, so use them to send signal and power to AC and DC devices. They are also often used to connect devices to IO Link controllers and in fieldbus systems such as Profibus and DeviceNet.

Cords with a 90° elbow socket fit snugly against equipment, so they’re good for tight spaces.

Note: Sockets may have extra holes on their face that are not used.

TPE insulation protects these cords from some of the toughest industrial conditions, including abrasion, coolants, chemicals, UV rays, and weld slag. Use them in areas with welding, machining, and fluctuating temperatures to send signal and power to M12 proximity switches, valves, and other devices. These cords are flexible and have threaded ends for a secure connection that withstands the movement and vibration of automated lines and robotics. When mated, they’re NEMA or IP rated to seal out dust and water from washdowns. Standardized pole and keyway coding layouts prevent accidental mis-mating during setup.

Cords with silicone outer insulation give you an extra layer of protection from weld slag and chemicals compared to TPE alone. They're useful in areas where frequent hot liquid splatter might burn through your cord. However, this additional layer makes them less flexible than plain TPE cords.

A-coded cords work with both AC and DC devices. They’re also often used to connect equipment to IO Link controllers and in Profibus, DeviceNet, and other fieldbus systems.

C-coded cords are primarily used with AC devices.

NEMA 6P and IP67 ratings also protect switches from temporary submersion. An IP69 rating means they seal out high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their NEMA or IP ratings when not in use.

Step on or roll carts and platform trucks over these M12 cords without crushing them. A protective layer of stainless steel makes these the most crush- and abrasion-resistant M12 cords we offer. It also prevents damage from pests that chew through cords. The stainless steel and PVC outer layer keep moisture from corroding the cord, so they can be used outdoors and near chemicals as well. Despite the stainless steel covering, these cords are still flexible enough to route around equipment. Threaded ends create a tight connection that seals out contaminants and won’t shake loose from the vibration of automated machines.

These cords have a standardized code layout to reduce the chances of accidentally mis-mating them. All are A-coded to send signal and power to AC and DC devices. A-coded cords are often used with sensors, actuators, and motors in automated systems. They also connect devices to IO Link controllers and within fieldbus systems, such as Profibus and DeviceNet.

When mated or capped, these cords meet IP ratings. IP67 cords withstand temporary submersion. IP69 cords are protected from dust and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

Note: Sockets may have extra holes on the face that are not used.

Send data between sensors and receivers that have different signal types. These cords change the output signal from PNP to NPN. They connect your sensor to equipment with an M12 connection. Since they’re A coded, these cords work with most AC and DC systems. They’re also used to connect sensors to IO Link controllers and within fieldbus systems, such as Profibus and DeviceNet.

These cords were designed with tough industrial applications in mind. Insulated with polyurethane, they bend easily without cracking, and they won’t break down from oil or coolants. They’re IP rated to block out water if briefly submerged or sprayed during high-pressure washdowns. With a 90° elbow socket, these cords sit flush against equipment, so they fit behind machinery and in other tight spaces. The socket has internal threads that keep it from shaking loose due to vibration.

To determine the signal output of your sensor, use a tester (not included).
