The difference between M8 connector and M12 connector

M8 connectors and M12 connectors are the two most used connectors in industrial connectors. What is the difference between them? Here is a brief introduction for everyone:

   The thread of the M12 connector is M12 * 1, the connection method is screw connection, the shell protection grade is IP67, the number of pins is 4, 5, 8, the number of holes is 4 holes, 5 holes, 8 holes, the product shape has a straight , elbow. M12 connectors are available with and without cables. The cables can be PVC (common) or PUR (oil-resistant and wear-resistant) materials. The length of the cable can be customized according to user requirements. Good performance.

   The thread of the M8 connector is M8 * 1, the connection method is screw connection, the protection grade is IP67, the number of pins is 3 pins, 4 pins, the number of holes is 3 holes, 4 holes, straight head, elbow. With and without cable, M8 connector cable can choose PVC (common) or PUR (oil and wear-resistant) material, cable length can be customized according to user requirements, and has the excellent waterproof performance.

   Common points: 1. The connector can improve the production process, simplify the assembly process of electronic products, and also simplify the mass production process; 2. Easy to repair, if an electronic component fails, the failed component can be quickly replaced when the connector is installed 3. It is easy to upgrade. With the advancement of technology, the components can be replaced when the connector is installed, and the old ones can be replaced with new and more perfect components; 4. Improve the flexibility of design: When using the connector, let the engineering design There is greater flexibility when integrating new products and when using components to form systems.

   Application areas: connectors are widely used in sensors, testing instruments, electronic instruments, electronic machinery, communications, aviation, navigation, computers, LEDs, automobiles, construction machinery. Electromechanical, petroleum survey, transmission control system, electrician electrical system, industrial automation, and other fields.
