\"Series<\/p>\n

In an era where efficiency, speed, and cost savings are key success factors in connection technology, CONEC sets a new benchmark with its M12 bayonet system.<\/p>\n

Where innovation meets application: Fast, secure, and tool-free<\/strong><\/p>\n

The M12 bayonet system not only speeds up the connection process but is also robust, secure, maintenance-friendly, and economical. The M12 bayonet system not only accelerates the connection process but is also robust, secure, maintenance-friendly, and cost-effective.<\/p>\n

With the M12 bayonet, we offer users a tangible improvement in everyday use.<\/p>\n

The standout feature is the three-point bayonet mechanism, enabling a fast, secure, and tool-free connection with just a 90\u00b0 twist\u2014even in confined or poor visible spaces.” Clear audible and tactile feedback signals to the user that the connection is properly locked. The system is based on the draft standard IEC CD 61076-2-011\/Ed1 and is available in various versions: overmolded, field-attachable and socket connectors.<\/p>\n

100% Backward Compatibility<\/strong><\/a>
\nA special highlight: The bayonet socket connectors also feature a standardized M12 thread in the mating area, ensuring full backward compatibility with existing M12 screw connectors. This allows new systems to be easily equipped with the bayonet system on the device side.<\/p>\n

Versatile variants for maximum flexibility
\nField-attachable connectors<\/a> with crimp termination in A-, B-, D-, and X-coding \u2013 ideal for flexible on-site installations
\nOvermoulded single ended or connecting cables in A- and D-coding
\nSocket connector solutions for device-side connections \u2013 ranging from PCB socket connectors socket connectors with wire to overmoulded socket connectors with cable.<\/p>\n

Versatile application options, e.g. for industrial applications, agriculture or railroad technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"M12<\/p>\n

The M12 bayonet system significantly simplifies and speeds up installation processes in industrial applications where frequent tool changes or limited installation space are common.<\/p>\n

In industrial robotics, the M12 bayonet enables the quick connection of sensors, actuators, and data lines\u2014even under demanding conditions such as vibration or tight installation spaces.<\/p>\n

With its quick installation and maintenance-friendly design, the system offers a smart, reliable alternative to traditional screw connections\u2014perfectly suited for flexible use in today\u2019s fast-paced production environments.<\/p>\n

In the agricultural sector, where reliable connectors are essential under harsh environmental conditions\u2014especially in light of the increasing digitalization of modern agricultural machinery \u2014 the system also proves its value.
\nFor applications such as GPS-guided steering systems, camera technology, or sensor systems, the robust locking mechanism ensures stable data transmission\u2014even in the presence of vibrations, dirt, and moisture. The connectors can also be used in hard-to-reach areas, such as lighting and camera control systems on tractors, where installers often have no visual contact.<\/p>\n

The railway industry also benefits from the M12 bayonet system, as the bayonet lock provides high resistance to shock and vibration\u2014a crucial factor in applications subject to strong mechanical stress.
\nIn rail vehicles, where constant vibrations and dynamic movements are the norm, the reliable locking mechanism ensures permanently stable connections without unintentional disconnection.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the new series meets the requirements of the European standard IEC 61373:2010, Class 1B.<\/p>\n
