The M12 slim design connectors have been significantly reduced both in diameter and in length. In particular, the outer diameter has been slimmed down to 16.5mm, allowing a high integration density to be achieved with appropriate devices such as switches. In addition, the housing is significantly more robust, being able to withstand torques of up to 1.5Nm.
The connectors with x-coding conform to IEC 61076-2-109, and comply with Cat. 6A and Performance Class EA.
