Harting has expanded its range of M12 circular connectors to include field-installable versions with larger cross-sections as well as new receptacles for 10Gbit/s data transmission.

The field-installable versions include the M12-XL for wire cross-sections bigger than 0.5mm² and a 5-pin version for a maximum cross-section of 1.0mm². This means that cable cross-sections up to 1mm² and cables with an outer diameter up to 9.6 mm can be connected.

The cable side has been adapted to the requirements of the larger cables.

The outer diameter has been expanded because, as the cables get larger, so do the moments of force that have to be absorbed. Vibration-proof contacts and IP67 protection integral to the design, and the current rating is 4A.
