There are three M12 connectors, marked with 1, 2 and 3 accessible from the side of the
device. Refer to 9 for an overview of the connectors.
7.1.
M12 connectors, general
Pay close attention to the coding; violence or excessive force should not be used when mating
the connectors.
Figure 5: M12 connector pinout, 8-pin A-coded, 4-pin D-coded and 5-pin A-coded.
The M12 connector pins/receptacles are made of gold-plated copper-zinc alloy. It is
recommended to use gold-plated pins/receptacles in the mating connectors. Using different
plating in the cable connectors might cause galvanic corrosion. The M12 contact body is made
of polyamide and the sleeve around it is made of nickel-plated zinc.
Note that all three M12 connectors must be mated with its corresponding cable connector or a
proper blind plug to maintain the IP-classification.
