M12 Push-Pull Connectors according to IEC 61076-2-010
Overmolded Cordsets with Internal Locking
METZ CONNECT is expanding its portfolio to include overmolded M12 push-pull connectors with internal locking. They enable fast, tool-free connections with audible and tactile feedback confirming that the connector is locked, and are designed for industrial applications such as factory automation, mechanical and plant engineering, intralogistics, and railway and transport technology.
Efficiency and quality gains
Tool-free Push-Pull technology can significantly reduce assembly and service times. At the same time, the defined locking mechanism minimizes potential assembly errors and supports repeatable connection results. This simplifies installation processes and increases efficiency during commissioning, maintenance and service. The benefits are particularly noticeable in day-to-day operations involving modular system designs, mobile applications or frequent mating cycles.
- Tool-free installation: Push-pull technology significantly reduces installation and service times.
- Secure locking: Audible and tactile engagement minimizes installation errors and ensures repeatable connections.
- Reliable under load: Protection ratings up to IP67 or IP68; tested for vibration, shock and corrosion resistance.
- Wide range of applications: Automation, intralogistics, mobile machinery, and railway and transport technology.
- Customizable: Standard products, customer-specific variants and custom cable solutions
