Are M12 connectors standard?

Are M12 connectors standard?

M12 Connector, Standard Circular Connectors, Wire-to-Wire, 5 Position… M12 Metric Circular Field Installable unshielded cable connector with screw termination.

What does the coding mean on M12 connectors?

This coding prevents incorrect mating on products. In addition, shielding is available in most coded M12 connectors. For example, X-coded connectors are specifically shielded by the design of their coding.

What is an A coded connector?

A-coded connectors are the most common style of connector. These are used for sensors, actuators, motors, and most other standard devices. A-coded connectors can vary in its number of pins, anywhere between two pins and 12 pins. B-coded connectors are mostly used in network cables for fieldbus connections.

What is M12 port?
