M12 Push-Pull with Inner Locking is International IEC Standard
Yamaichi´s push-pull version of the M12 connector is the very first M12 push-pull design, which has been defined as an international standard (IEC 61076-2-012). Therefore, M12 push-pull design-ins are possible now for M12 push-pull systems, without using proprietary solutions. From the beginning, Yamaichi Electronics has been setting a new standard with the M12 push-pull with inner locking. The cable-side connector engages deep into the device socket from the inside with locking hooks. As a result, the push-pull system requires only the same installation space as a common M12 connection with screw locking. With this technology, it is possible to completely insert the M12 socket into the device, e.g. to integrate it into a distribution box, aligned flush with its housing. The system is IP65 / IP67 water and dust proof and uses independent sealing concepts for screw-type and push-pull connector. Thus, the mixed usage of the connectors is possible in a reliable way. The particularly long locking hooks of the cable connector are supported by the threaded segments of the device socket. This makes the system mechanically extremely robust. In addition, this offers significant advantages when subjected to torsional loads and rotational forces. This means the user takes advantage of all the benefits of the push-pull locking system: considerable time saving, miniaturisation, blind and tool-free contact mating with simple handling – in accordance with the standardised M12 specification. Standardisation brings security During the international standardisation, industry-standard requirements regarding device integration and functionality were introduced and taken into account. This ensures the ideal basis for cross-manufacturer compatibility, which has already been proven between different manufacturers. The fast implementation of the IEC 61076-2-012 in less than 2 years is further evidence of this. The M12 push-pull is fully backwards compatible with the screw lock type.
Waterproof Push-Pull Circular Connector with Protection Rating IP68
For the second time in three years, the waterproof T-Series of Y-Circ P push-pull circular connectors from Yamaichi Electronics has won the title of "Product of the Year" in a readers' poll conducted by the electronics trade press. The renewed award by the trade public underlines the excellent acceptance of the T-Series in the market. The reliable waterproofness (protection rating IP68) at 5,000 mating cycles and the simple assembly are convincing. With the T-Series, Yamaichi Electronics has developed a connector with a robust locking system that meets complex requirements and still offers all the advantages of a push-pull connector, such as 5,000 mating cycles with reliable waterproofness. The successfully launched T-Series offers protection against permanent submersion in water and is available in four sizes (outer diameter 9 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm). All connectors have been tested and qualified in the in-house laboratory for 48h at 1m water depth and thus comply with protection rating IP68. The design includes the patented cable sealing collet. The cable seal and collet are reduced to just one part. This enables simple, fast and error-free assembly. Together with the long service life, the connector series has considerable savings potential. Different standard pin patterns are available for all sizes. Customer-specific pin patterns can be realised quickly and flexibly. The online configurator helps with the correct combination and generates the appropriate type number for the user for easy ordering.
Our highlights are M12 connectors "Y-Circ M" with 3 different locking mechanisms: screw, bayonet and fast push-pull with space-saving inner locking.
Another highlight are our "Y-Circ P" series, circular metallic push-pull connectors. Please contact also for all other kinds of connectivity solutions as we offer a wide variety of connector types as well as customised solutions according to your requirements.
