Passive M12 distributors are available in all conceivable forms and configurations. Furthermore, a number of special versions, e.g. SAI distributors for EX zones or the ergonomic M8, are available only from Weidmüller. These innovative products are backed up by numerous proprietary rights.
M12 distributors are available in various versions. The 4, 6 or 8 M12 slots are in 4 or 5 pole design. The group outlet is designed as a fixed cable version, hood version for connection by the user, or with M23. Special versions are also available. For instance, there are 1-to-1 distributors for use with any connection types, or distributors approved for Ex Zone 1.
Whereas the standard M12 system requires the sleeves to be laboriously screwed on and that operation is hindered by the vibration guard, M12 Push-Pull works with one click, just like those well-known garden hose systems. The audible locking function guarantees a safe and reliable connection as well as a good seal. The new SAI M12 Push-Pull distributors can be used with M12 plug-in connectors but also with the new M12 Push-Pull plug-in connectors.
Some applications require complete shielding from the sensor to the control. Our metal SAI distributors achieve this complete shielding. EMC glands are included with the distributors. Initiator LEDs are omitted. They are available in 4- and 8-way M12 versions with 5 or 10 m cables. In addition, these distributors can be used in harsh environments e.g. in the vicinity of welding plant. Hoods with a generous connection space available so that they can be provided with a standard gland up to M25.
