M Series Circular Waterproof Connectors
The M series waterproof connectors are suitable for various harsh environments, outdoor, industrial applications, and other demanding conditions, making them the most suitable choice for waterproof connectors. The IP67 level waterproof and dustproof protection provides solid defense against the intrusion of solid objects, water, dust, gravel, and accidental intrusion, with a protection capability of 6 levels of dustproof and 7 levels of waterproofing, achieving complete dustproofing, and the waterproof part can be submerged in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes.
Connector Connection Methods: Threaded connectors: Typically used for connecting external devices. Due to their threaded structure, they can be securely fixed to the housing. Pin connectors: Used for connecting internal circuits, with pins and sockets directly mating, facilitating connection and disconnection.
Different M series connectors have their own advantages, which are referenced in the application product classification. M5 is often used in food and beverage processing or machine manufacturing due to its industrial detector and waterproof 3-pin screw features. Compared to M8 and M12, M5 has the advantage of 90-degree connection lines, making it well-suited for use in automated industries and robotic equipment, such as electric bicycles, acceleration detectors, humidity detectors, etc.
M8 can achieve multiple connections in limited areas and withstand mechanical vibrations, suitable for use in sensors, robotic arms, medical equipment, ship electronic equipment, automated production, and logistics equipment.
M12 connectors are designed for harsh environments, so they can operate smoothly in extremely stringent conditions or even high-pressure washing operations.
M23 built-in connectors are mainly used to connect servo motors and electric drives to industrial automation applications.
FAKRA Automotive Connectors
FAKRA connectors are based on the SMB interface of RF connectors with added plastic shell structures, characterized by small size, light weight, excellent electrical performance, and ease of use. They have become the universal standard RF connectors in the automotive industry and are widely used in the industry. FAKRA connectors are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the automotive industry, suitable for RF cable connections in wireless devices, broadcast antennas, GPS, Bluetooth, dual-frequency WiFi, surround imaging, and electronic instrument RF loops.
Secondary locking and color + mechanical anti-mismatch design: Secondary locking ensures that the terminals are properly installed and increases the retention force of the terminals. Secondary locks are usually purple. Color + mechanical anti-mismatch: The mating interface of the connector has an anti-mismatch structure design, with different anti-mismatch structures corresponding to different colors of plastic shells.
Main electrical performance parameters: Transmission frequency 0~4GHz; characteristic impedance is 50 ohms; maximum carrying current 1A. Main mechanical performance parameters: Locking buckle retention force ≥100N, anti-mismatch force ≥40N.
Common Applications: Wireless signal transmission Vehicle AM/FM GPS Vehicular network (2~4GHz, including transmission) Remote control, etc. Video signal transmission applications based on the outbreak of ADAS are mainly used in cameras.
