As with the F-coded products, the T-coding mating interface prevents accidental usage with other M12 connectors being used for input, output, signal or industrial network connections and provide up to two DC power circuits (two V- or two V+). The robust blind-mate key design significantly reduces the chance of mis-mating, especially in restricted access locations where visibility is limited. To eliminate the chance of electrical shock, the connector pins are recessed in a contact carrier. The receptacle design has been enhanced to more efficiently dissipate heat generated by the higher current-carrying capability, while maintaining its compact size.
The 4-pin M12 T-coded connectors will accommodate wire sizes up to 16AWG (1.5mm2) and are rated for 63VAC/DC operation. An IP67 seal interface makes the Brad M12 Power T-Coded cordsets and receptacles suitable for use in harsh and wet industrial environments. The connector is dust-proof and can be temporarily submerged in up to 1m of water. The T-Coding is according to the IEC Standard 61076-2-111, which allows for an open-industry connector standard, increasing adoption among a wide array of platforms and manufacturers.
