Turck Australia has released the M12 connector and receptacles with a patented torque sleeve, ideal for cordset installations while also keeping contaminants out.

A new patented torque sleeve eases the installation of every cordset and provides improved vibration performance.

This next-generation M12 helps ensure industrial communication is not put at risk in rugged applications. Straight/right-angle, male/female, 3/4/5 pole configurations that are 18-24 awg and unshielded are currently available, with additional configurations available in 2023.

The patented design provides tactile feedback so that when the sleeve is turned, users feel a snap, signalling that the required minimum torque is achieved. Certifications for this design include UL 2238, CE, CSA as well as IEC IP67, IP68, IP69K, NEMA 1, 2, 4, 6P and 12.
