ATAM’s M8 and M12 connectors, also known as circular connectors or interconnects, are widely used in various applications in multiple sectors, especially those related to power supply and data transfer.
To meet the needs of its customers, these male and female connectors are available in a cable entry version for cable self-assembly or supplied with a molded cable if the project so requires. M8 connectors are available with 3 or 4 poles, while the M12 connectors are available with 3, 4, 5, or 8 poles.
All the circular connectors provided by ATAM offer up to the IP 67 protection class and are certified and in compliance with IEC 60529 design guidelines. When correctly assembled, this ensures reliable performance of the circular connectors in the presence of dust and when the product is submerged in water.
The straightforward ergonomic design of ATAM’s circular connectors ensures easy assembly and disassembly. The moulded connectors with cable are overmoulded in polyurethane (TPU) for excellent protection against oils and chemical agents; thus, the risk of surface contamination from foreign bodies is greatly reduced.
All ATAM’s circular connectors have metal lock nuts. However, the moulded cable versions also come equipped with a secure anti-vibration locking system, thus reducing the risk of lost or intermittent contacts due to vibrations. The shielded versions of the circular connectors’ cables are available with a cable screen connected to the lock nut or the central pin, providing additional flexibility to meet every customer’s need.
ATAM has a wide selection of cable types in stock and offers the possibility to use and incorporate special cables on request. A full range of male and female receptacles in plastic or metal, in a variety of configurations with 3, 4, 5, and 8 poles, makes the circular connectors offered by ATAM even more complete.
