RICHMOND, VA - Weidmuller has extended its M12 connector family to include connecting cables with plastic coupling nuts. Weidmuller offers the new M12 single-ended and double-ended cables in 3, 4 and 5 pole configurations. The high flex PUR/PVC cables are rated for over 20 million bending cycles in continuous flex applications. Versions featuring PVC cables, which are especially suitable for food and beverage processing applications, are also available.

The products' high quality PBT material is corrosion resistant and offers excellent protection against aggressive chemicals and harsh cleaning agents, as well as oils, fats, petroleum and brake fluids. This ensures safe and reliable connections in wash-down, high humidity and harsh environments in industries such as packaging, water wastewater and other process applications.

The new cables are IP67 water- and dust-tight, and resistant to shock and vibration. They feature self-securing ratchet coupling nuts for savings in wiring time and machine commissioning time. "The new M12 connecting cable with plastic coupling nuts is the economical alternative to costly stainless steel versions," says Susanne M. Walker, Product Manager at Weidmuller.
